We are 8 months now and doing all sorts of new things!  First of all, as usual, we are even cuter than last month!  The proof is in the pictures- and check out those teeth!  Avery now has two top and two bottom teeth, and Aurelia as her bottom two and seems to be working on the top now.

We are becoming adventurous eaters and are having lots of fun trying new things, and even learning to feed ourselves.  Aurelia has a lot of dexterity- she picks up food with her thumb and forefinger so daintily.  Avery handles food in a more manly way- he just grabs with his fist, shoves his whole fist in his mouth, and instead of letting go of the food he just sucks it out through his fist!  Also, mommy lets us play with our food 🙂

We usually get a smoothie in the morning- usually a sort of strawberry/banana/avocado/raspberry/blueberry/mango combo.

Rice is great to play with because we can’t choke on it!  We’ve also been practicing using a sippy cup.

And now we know that Aurelia can take the top off the can of puffs!  No more giving it to her in the car!

We’ve been having fun with family too!

And Auntie Denise taught Avery how to play the drums…

We love the bunnies!  Pitu made fast friends with Avery, who apparently agreed to break her out of jail.

Avery is crawling all over… but only backwards!  He doesn’t let that stop him though!

We got our moccasins and we love them- they are so cute and will be great for us now that we are getting more mobile.

We also went to the park since it’s been so nice out… like summer!  Who knew leaves were so fascinating.

More big news- Aurelia is sleeping so well in her crib!  No pictures of this because mommy is too afraid of waking her up!

Here are some highlights of our busy days playing and hanging out with mommy and daddy.

Such sweet faces!

Aurelia is like a little gymnast in her chair now.  And here is her signature model pose 🙂
