We Are 8 Months Today!

Time really flies...We can't believe the babies are 8 months already! They are changing so much every day. Here is an update on what they've been doing:

Emmerson~

Emmi loves to blow rasberries!!! She will do this for a 1/2 hour at a time. It's pretty funny except during church when everyone else is quiet. She is definitely smiling more these days. She has changed from "Emmi, Emmi Crabby Pants" to "Emmi, Emmi, Smiley Pants" (These are little nicknames we give to the babies depending on their moods) She has the cutest "big" smile...her entire nose crinkles when she is really excited. Emmerson loves eating from a spoon now. Her favorite food seems to be peaches. She still only has the 2 teeth, and she is in the heart of teething, so EVERYTHING she can get her hands on goes directly in her mouth. Emmi loves it when we hold her over our head and wiggle her back to our lap....she laughs so loud! One of her new favorite activites is to sit up...although she can't do this completely on her own, she is done with laying down...she likes the view better from an upright position.

Logan~

Logan is such a happy baby! There are only 2 things that cause Logan's smile to disappear...if he is really hungry or really tired...but who can blame him. Otherwise, this baby is always smiling, laughing or talking. He recently found his voice so now he does a lot of yelling too! Not angry yelling, he just likes the way he can make is voice go up and down. He often will smile or laugh if you catch him in the middle of one of his "yells". Also, Logan just found his feet too. He loves to grab them and he has even put them in his mouth. It is very cute to see him hold on to his feet....We have an ultrasound picture of him doing this same thing! Logan is doing well with eating. He really likes banannas and cereal. He keeps most of the food in his mouth, which Mommy and Daddy appreciate!


Brody~
Brody is ready to move! Although none of the babies are crawling, our money is on Brody being the first. He already scoots and rolls himself off his play mat and he lifts himself up completely off the ground. There are times it seems as if he is saying, "I need to get that toy over there..." Brody is a full face smiler...there is no in between...He has an adorable laugh and giggle when he is really happy. Brody has been having a case of "stranger danger" lately and if he doesn't know someone (or forgets he knows them) and they come too close, watch out. That boy may have had trouble with his lungs when he was first born, but they are working fine now! First comes the sad lip and then a whale like no other...I can't help but laugh a little. He is still the one who gets startled the easiest...poor baby.

Things are going well in the Kelsey home. Daddy is back at work and our nanny, Mrs. Carolyn (our neighbor) is doing so well with them. She always greets them with a smile and, we are happy to say, she leaves with a smile too. They are adjusting well and they are in good hands.
