Wow! Where did the time go? It’s crazy that today the girls turn 8 months old. On one hand, it feels like just yesterday that I was pregnant, but on the other hand, my delivery and their arrival seems like foorreevver ago. Wow how times have changed. They have reached such a fun age- and have just started to “play” and laugh with each other. We can’t wait to see how their relationship will develop. I’m sure they’ll be best friends just like Monica and I are.
So anyway, in honor of their 8 months on this planet and my limited time I thought I’d list 8 things about them:
1. Camden got her first tooth two days ago! Judging by the drool and hand sucking, Marin isn’t too far behind.
2. Marin has hair that Rod Stewart would be jealous of. It’s bright blond and stands straight up. Not sure what we’ll do when it starts to get longer. Everyone that sees her makes a comment about it. Camden’s hair is a little shorter and we are still trying to figure out what color it will be, but it looks to be a little darker blond.
3. Camden seems to be the more reserved of the two . Marin is much more energetic, while Camden is a little more pensive and likes to size you up. But once she is comfortable, she is much louder and sings and laughs sometimes more than Marin. Marin has the “Jack Nelson” laugh, named in honor of her grandfather. Her laugh is a little more silent, with a wide open mouth. Both Marin and Camden will belly laugh when Graham plays with them and tickles their bellies. It’s the cutest seeing them both laughing at the same time.
4. They are both sitting up on their own for a few minutes at a time and I’m sure in the next week or so they’ll be solid sitters.
5. Their favorite books include: Snuggly Puppy, Goodnight Moon and Hippos Go Beserk
6.They both LOVE their jumpers. It’s so loud that I’m sure our upstairs neighbor is wondering what kind of contraption we have set up for them.
7. They love going for walks around the city and I can count on one hand the times that they’ve gotten upset in the stroller. The three of us and Wrigley can be spotted around the neighborhood- our favorite place to walk is down to the dog park and around the Charlestown Navy Yard. We can’t wait for the summer when we can walk along the Charles River.
8. Graham and I are so tired, but we feel so very blessed to get to share the rest of our lives with these two little angels. Everyone always says this, but Motherhood ( and Fatherhood) are the most amazing experiences ever!
Lots of Love!
