8 & 20 Months

Luke

Feeds Himself: Luke has figured out how to feed himself a bottle.  When in a highchair, he arches his back to tip it up enough to get the last bits.  This just baffles me as we had to teach and teach how to do this with Katelyn and Luke just suddenly started doing it?  Either way it sure makes meal times MUCH easier!
Army Crawling: He is on the move!  He army crawls across the floor to toys he wants (or curtains... those kitchen curtains just enthralls him!  Makes mama a little nervous ;))  He is certainly rocking on all 4s so I wonder if we'll get up and crawling soon or if he'll just be happy with army crawling?
Sleeping: Oh Praise God we are officially finally almost always sleeping through the night!  I think some of it was his excema was itchy, most of it was he wasn't getting enough to eat.  Speaking of which...
Little Mr. piggy!: Holy COW can this child eat!  It boggles my mind how much he can eat!  We're talking more than a grown adult would eat for supper!  Seriously!  His pureed casserole the other night was the size of a bowl of soup, had a bottle and cheerios on top of it!  Goodness boy!
Weaning: I'm only nursing int he mornings and in the late afternoon.  I've found that supply is way down in the evenings so I've given up on that and quite honestly, lunchtime just goes much smoother if I just give him a bottle so we're technically weaning but I think we'll keep up this schedule for a while as I don't mind the free-ness of nursing ;)

Katelyn

Puzzles: Suddenly we are all about puzzles.  She loves working with the alphabet mat letters
Words: "High""Watermelon""peepee" and I'm sure there's more but can't think of them.
Brother-sitting: We LOVE to sit on our brother.  See video.  I was in the breezeway doing laundry and suddenly heard uncontrollable laughter coming from the hallway.  I went to investigate and found her sitting on his bum again (he was on his tummy) and they were both cracking up but I'll never forget the moment they both looked up at me with guilty faces... ha!  Oh boy... These two are going to get into some serious trouble in the future, aren't they?
Jumping: It's hilarious to watch her try to jump!  She doesn't get very far despite a lot of effort!
