Photos of the kids

Here are Tiana's 8 Month photos finally! Here is a bit of what she has been doing this last month:

She LOVE food…. Of ALL kinds… well except green beans! She will tolerate them and eat them because she loves to eat but will shudder and make faces the entire time. It really is quite entertaining! Surprisingly enough she hasn’t got gained any weight again over the last month even though she out eats her brother many a meal! She is sitting steady between 20 and 21 pounds but is now 30 ¼ inches long!!! Her growth has finally slowed a little bit and because of that she has been developing VERY rapidly in other areas. It has just clicked that she can move around in a scoot/crawl. She should be fully crawling in the next week or so I would think. Not that it will speed her up much; she just gets anywhere and everywhere in no time flat. It has been wonderful to be able to set her on the floor and be able to have her entertain herself for an hour at a time! Tiana and Keaton play SO well together although she has gotten quite possessive of her toys. We hear quite the little squeal when Keaton takes something of hers… which has been nice… got to keep that big brother in line! She has developed such a goofy little personality lately which has been SO fun. She loves to make faces to make us laugh. Once she gets in a showoff mode she sticks with it for quite a while keeping everyone laughing!
We have also been very proud of her in crowds lately. She puts on her little “I am trying soooo hard to be brave” face and toughs it out. She will even let other people hold her now for short amounts of time!!! This is QUITE the feat for our little timid and shy girl. She does NOT like new and different situations at ALL. I took her in the shower with me this past weekend and that was TERRIFYING for her. We try to ease her into things like that so that she can get used to them. She has gotten somewhat used to her snow clothes and being outside but it isn’t a favorite yet. We also took her into a swimming pool this past month and she did very good trying to be brave as long as ONLY her feet where in the water! She loves her baths though so we will keep trying little things with her to get her used to it. This has been so different for us because Keaton was totally game to do anything and everything from a VERY young age. We just have to remember how sensitive she is and slowly work on getting her used to new situations without pushing her.

She has such good balance standing up already..... we just may have an early walker on our hands... who knows!

Our handsome little boy all dressed up for Special Meeting.

Just a few of her goofy little faces.

We took some photos of my entire family while all of my brothers are home and I will post those soon. We have some hilarious ones of the uncles and Keaton!
