Landon is 8 months

Landon has now turned 8 months old and is growing like crazy he has the most adorable little rollie arms and legs. He still has no real interest in crawling though we have seen him grab a handful of carpet in each hand and pull himself towards a toy so I guess that is a start. He gets better at sitting every day and is actually tolerating laying on his tummy for a few minutes at a time occassionally turning on to his tummy on his own. He loves to smile and is learning to clap. He loves the word Mama and laughs everytime but still won't say it. We are working on some sign language and while Sienna has no interest he can say milk and more of course he figured out the food signs first. He loves songs and being tickled. He is a great eater and getting better at self feeding cheerios everyday. He continues to be a good sleeper and while he could take some longer naps I'm still convinced he wakes up early just to have some quiet cuddle time alone with Mom. He loves the water and makes a real mess with bathtime. We are so lucky to have such a sweet good natured little guy he is such a joy in our lives.
This week we were asked to go to a class in Boise to talk to parents expecting twins and tell them what they were getting in to . We took the babies and they were so well behaved and happy, even letting others hold them. It was fun to see how far we've come from being those first time expecting parents with no clue as to what was coming to being the confident parents telling others that they too can do this and that it is the most fun and rewarding experience.

He loves to reach for the camera when you try to take his picture
Looking thrilled after getting man kisses from Sienna, she looks a little irritated that he is not more appreciative.

After much thought we have decided to put our house on the market as it is feeling smaller by the day and the twins really need more room to play. What a pain it is to try to keep our house looking neat and clean all the time. I feel so bad many of their toys are in storage now and we don't let them keep the big toys out all the time but they don't seem to mind. It is also nice to have a clean house most of the time and since going through all our cabinets and closets we were able to get rid of a lot of stuff we don't use which will make moving easier. We know this is a horrible time to try to sell a house but since it is a good time to buy we are hoping to do ok, time will tell.
