It's been very busy and doesn't show any signs of slowing. The babies are getting bigger and bigger and are more mobile than ever. Saxon can crawl anywhere and Ella is hell on wheels in her walker.
(Ella has a go at some mashed potatoes.)
It's strange, but the babies personalities seem to be shifting a bit as they get older. We just past 8 months -- hard to believe, I know-- and Ella is now the baby more inclined to be held. Saxon has gone from the cuddler to the commando as he low crawls his way into "adventure."
(Who needs sleep?)
By "adventure" I obviously mean trouble. If there is something he shouldn't have, he locks in on it like radar and crawls for it as fast as he can. If you move the object or intercept him, it makes him very upset. You will likely see his "hulk" face, as in - You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. It looks like this:
(RAAWWRRR!)
Callie has been back to work for a while now and the babies and I do much better on our own now. We've got a bit of a routine that works most of the time and preserves my sanity for the most part. I also use my days off on Wednesdays to spend quality time with the twinfants.
(Wednesday mornings are spent in the sunny living room.)
What amazes me is looking back at their older photos and seeing how much Ella and Saxon have grown. For example, these are the twinfants today:
And this is how they looked in the same chair their first week home:
Pretty amazing, isn't it?
