8 months old...

another month has gone by and they just keep changing!  jackson has turned into quite the monster.  over the past few weeks, he started crawling, goes from crawling to sitting and back to crawling, and now pulls himself up to stand.  he cannot sit still and is also fearless, which is making for quite the combo.  while livi is up on her knees and rocking, she's perfectly content hanging around and just playing with her toys and books.  she's also babbling quite a bit now and surprisingly can cover a lot of ground by spinning on her tummy and rolling. 

bones isn't quite sure what to make of these moving and more coordinated babies.  he's been such an angel with jackson crawling on him, pulling his collar and tail, and poking at his paws.  i can't figure out why he does it but bones' only response is literally to lick them over and over...unfortunately, he licks their mouths, which we're trying to curb but it's like he's addicted to baby breath!

the first and only picture in this shoot where both are
at least somewhat cooperating!

jacks kept threatening to crawl off the chair

best friends waiting for mom to share her wheat thins
