More from 8 months old!

Just a few of my favorites from their 8th month...

Kyle and Alyssa in the tub- I always spike up Kyle's hair when I wash it- Alyssa has water dripping down her face after she splashed half the water out of the bathtub!

Above, Alyssa found her tongue. She kept sticking it out as far as she could! Kyle played in the laundry basket and Brian slid him around the floor. He thought that was a lot of fun!

January 2009- 8 months old

Kyle and Alyssa turned 8 months on January 17th. I put them in matching GAP outfits and took their picture like I do every month. Every time I look back at their pictures, I realize how much they change. I always think, "Man, Kyle has so much hair!" Then when I look back, it's not as much as he has now! Poor Alyssa just can't get her hair to thicken up!

For Christmas, Alyssa got a singing stage with a microphone. Here she is "singing." Kyle was still enjoying his time in the swing. Check out his dinosaur feet!

Christmas 2008

The holidays were a lot of fun! The weekend after Thanksgiving we spent all day getting ready to go see Santa at the Lawrenceville Historic Courthouse. We got there and he wasn't there! Santa wasn't scheduled to be there until the next weekend. So we decided since we got all dressed up, we would go out to eat. When we got home, we took some pictures of them dressed up and some of them with their Christmas pj's on (top 2 pictures). The next weekend we tried again to go see Santa. This time Santa was there and we were the first ones in line! Kyle and Alyssa did really good! They both looked at him kind of funny, but they enjoyed it. As you can see in the picture, Alyssa got a hold of his beard and wouldn't let go. Kyle ended up pulling on it too. Alyssa's hand actually got tangled in his beard. After we got her hand out, she had his beard hair in her hand. When we were done, Santa got up and had to go comb his beard and tidy up a bit! ha!
