Pool Party!

Last weekend my mom had her annual summer family cookout at her house.  We went down early with the boys so they'd nap in the car.  We had a little while with Mugie (my mom) to ourselves, so the boys did some tummy time and play time on the outside porch.

The boys were so busy playing!

So many things to play with!

Sebastian loved the teething ring Mugie bought him.
After a while, Auntie Mimi and Nana and my Auntie Carol and Christian arrived.

The boys LOVED the pool!  I didn't expect they'd like the water so much!  Here they are watching their cousin Christian swim like a shark.

We had my favorite Cape Cod Cafe pizza for lunch...mom made homemade molasses and oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies for dessert.  It was a great day all around.  The weather held out but on the way home we got caught in quite the downpour!  Parts of 128 were almost flooded!  Anyway, I can't wait to take the boys swimming again soon!

8 months old today!

My little preemie babies turn 8 months old today!!  They are getting so big!!

Adrian has taken a real interest in Lexi lately.  Sebastian has too, but he is a bit rougher and pulls on her ears.  Adrian pets her...he loves her fluffy fur and he touches her ears and her beard.  Lexi sits at his feet like a queen and enjoys his attention.  It is so sweet to see, and it breaks my heart because she's getting older and more lame by the day.  Poor Lexi.  My first baby...
Lexi in her favorite spot




When Adrian had a fever last week, Lexi was right there beside him...she loves her boys!


Both boys are now sitting with just a tiny bit of support every now and then.  They can sit on their own and lean forward to reach for toys.  Every now and then they still topple over to the side though if we're not there to catch them.  But almost!  They have great posture!  ;)  Here they are showing off their mad sitting skillz!

Sebastian--he enjoys eating books.  Carlos has started calling him the Bookie Monster.
 








Adrian

Adrian likes to eat books too.  But he actually reads them first.




They roll over constantly when asleep now, and mostly they sleep on their tummies.  I still put them down on their backs, but they amost immediately roll onto their belly.  I can't fight it.  Adrian likes to sleep with his cute butt in the air.  Not sure how it could be comfortable, but he seems to think it is. 




Still no teeth, but they HAVE to be on their way.  They are increasingly bothered by their sore gums.  They still chew on anything and everything in sight...

They like to chew their fingers...


their keys...

and their bibs!!!

As for daycare, they are doing better and better.  Sebastian is finally sleeping better there.  With better naps, they are happier there.  No one likes to be overtired!  Sebastian STILL has a cold--he's basically had it since the first day of daycare, but I'm hoping it will go away someday...I'm going to clean the nursery from top to bottom as soon as I have the chance.  I'm wondering if he's just allergic to Lexi or to dust.  Not that there is any dust in my house or anything...

Finally, here are some random pictures of the boys and an impromptu 8-month photos shoot on the couch sarape!!!

Sebastian loves to try to drink out of the straw!  He gets annoyed when nothing comes up and into his mouth!


Sebastian also likes to admire himself very closely in the mirror


Sebastian loves peek-a-boo lately!

Sebastian often has a deer-in-the-headlights look for pictures...





Whenever they are near each other, the boys quickly become a tangled mess of arms and legs.



And then they hit and kick each other.  Good-naturedly, of course!
