8 months

This is why we call Maren "Poochie". She pooches out her cheeks like this a lot.

We were going to call Maven "Dozer" because she goes over anything/anyone in her path, but it just doesn't fit. We are playing around with other nicknames. 

They like to feed themselves. Maren eats much more when she feeds herself.

Almost eight months

 

This is how we share.

This is how we crawl.

 In how many different positions can you feed babies?

 We can sit well enough for tubby baths together now.

 Maren says "Hi"

 Maven says "I would say Hi, but I'm busy"

 Maren was the first to stand but within the same week Maven stood and began to shuffle along furniture. 

Maren's Favorite Noise

Earlier I posted Maven's favorite noise but wasn't able to capture Maren's until now. It isn't actually her favorite anymore as she doesn't do it as often as she used to. As you can see, Daddy had to annoy her to get her to do it.

 We can hold our bottles now but we prefer if you do it.

Who cares if it is 10 degrees outside? Life is better without clothes.
