8 Months

I can't believe they're 8 months old already... they're getting so big and independent! This past month (June) really flew bye, now that summer is in full swing the weeks are packed with fun things to see and do. We have been busy with many walks, trips to the park, out to dinner, Mille Lacs fishing, celebrating Father's Day, pool time & puppets in the park.

Colton has been crawling for awhile but now he's Mr. Speedy! He can zoom all over and in a hurry. If your not careful he beats you out the door or into the next room. He also learned how to sit up in his crib, It wont be long till he's standing in the crib! Colton cut his first two teeth this month, the bottom front two came in within a day of each other. Now he has teeth to match his brother. Colton is usually pretty calm and likes to observe situations before he goes at it, he is our thinker. He likes to be held and be loved on. He is a very sweet boy and we just love him to pieces.

Henry continues to be our little tornado, he's a mover and shaker. He doesn't enjoy to be held all that much as he likes to crawl and explore. He is always after something and is the more aggressive of the two. He has been know for biting, stealing toys, and getting into trouble. He keeps me on my "A" game at all times! He can be real affectionate and sweet also, he loves to give big open month kisses and big hugs. He is a sweet boy and loves to be crazy! We enjoy all the fun he brings to our house and love him so much.

We were able to take the boys up to Mille Lacs this past month for a little fishing weekend. Kevin, Angela and the boys joined us for the fun. We had a great weekend, caught many fish and enjoyed the boat. The boys were real troopers and were great in the boat, we were able to spend an entire afternoon out fishing and everyone was happy! This is a major accomplishment!!!!!

We also celebrated Father's Day this month. Pete is a pretty exceptional dad so we wanted to get him a nice treat... the boys picked out a hammock. He was very surprised and loves it! We spend many nights rocking in it and enjoying the summer evenings.

One last fun first this month, the boys got hair cuts! Just a little trim, but it was a fun experience for them and a first for Henry.

We are loving life these days and are enjoying each first. The boys are growing so quickly that we try to sit back and take in each day with them... easier said then done... especially with twins;)
