sharing a room

We figured since you are 8 months old now, we would move your cribs into the same room.  The big move took place yesterday, and I must say-I love seeing both cribs in your room!! I also got to talk to Daddy in a regular voice rather than whispers last night.  I have been dreading this move, because I know naps are not going to be as easy as they were.  And I did miss having one of you so near to me last night while we slept.  Maybe that is why I couldn't sleep and why I checked on you both about 75 times...and I made Dad get out of bed to check on you too once : ) Your first night went pretty good, but what made you wake up at 3:00am? Hopefully that does not become a regular thing...

However, your first nap today went perfectly! Here is the before and after video:

And 5 minutes later......

Your second nap is not going quite as well as the first, as it never does.  One of you is wimpering, and I suspect- keeping the other up.  Who is it? I will go check....It's A: )  L is actually asleep.  A is also playing with those bumper ties that don't reach around the middle pole of the crib.  How do you always find them after I tuck them down? Now you have stopped, lets hope you are closing your eyes : )

oh wait, nope-still wimpering.  I'm crossing my fingers........please....go.....to ......sleep.....

Our little Valentines

 A opening her Valentines card from Dad

O trying to trade cards with A

 O reading her card from Dad

I can't wait for more Valentine's days with our two little cupids!

sitting

Can I just say that I LOVE that you both are completely sitting now.  It has opened up so many possibilities!  Grandma BJ puts pillows behind you, because she doesn't know that you never fall over anymore.  You are pro's at leaning in any direction to pick something up.  You will sit for your entire play time and not even think about being belly-bound.  I love it! You look so grown up and cute.  However, it does make me miss my little teenie babies...you are growing so fast!!!

Hooray for this milestone!

headbands and scabs

 we needed some new and fashionable headbands/clips...so your Mother decided to try her hand at crafting some.  These are just ok.  I'm getting better and better-just wait!

These little scabs are almost a permanent feature on your darling little faces.  No matter how often I clip those nails.  No matter how hard I try...there they appear, just as the one before has vanished.  It finally occured to me that the culprit is your thumbnails-during the eye rubbing that occurs prior to naptime.

 p.s. I made you some valentines my dears : )
