4 little monkeys

Twain is 8 months old. And he is changing so fast.

He is crawling everywhere. He is into ev-e-ry-thing.




I can barely keep up with this baby. And away he goes.


He can get to a sitting position all by himself.




And he is so very pleased with himself. He loves to clap. And wave.

He babbles mama, dada and can mimic some other words.

He is fine playing with the boys, but as soon as I walk into the room, he laughs and then cries at the same time, crawling toward me frantically.
And sometimes I find him crawling down the hallways, looking for me. It's the cutest little pile of sadness and I cannot help but laugh and scoop him right up. He is all about mama.

He always wants to keep me in his sight.


At the same time, he is so very wiggly and wants to play by himself...but he just has to keep crawling back to me and patting my leg to make sure I am still there...all to himself...all day long.


He also loves to pull himself up to stand all the time but I don't have a good picture of that...next time I shall do better.


And cuz it's no fun to be a lone monkey on the bed...

Our house is full of noise and chaos and Twain is right in the thick of it all. He is surrounded by little faces that love him.


Little faces that love to baby-talk to him.






Last time I updated, Ollie and Twain were becoming the best of pals. Now?

Hm.

They fight, if that's what you want to call it.

Twain grabs Ollie's toys and pulls Ollie's hair...Twain doesn't mean anything by it, but Ollie still flips out. Other times, when Twain gets in his space Ollie feels threatened and pushes him or throws toys--we are working on these issues very hard. They still love each other but the competition is fierce around here!



My prayer for these boys is that they love God and each other with everything they have.

    And Suzanne? Your pictures are always so clear and beautiful I often wonder what set up you use and what your tricks are! Your photos most certainly do not need help!

  24. once again, a bit behind in the commenting (that's me these days) but oh wow did this post ever make me smile when I first read it. I hardly even know how to express just how YUMMY Twain is or how precious all your boys are in their matching sock monkeys. TOO MUCH. your pictures are simply wonderful, as always.
    Love your boys, love you.
