8 Months!

I am borrowing this idea from Hilary. Connor and Caitlin are 8 months old today! The time has flown by. Caitlin is crawling everywhere and into everything. Kaiser used to have a water dish upstairs, but not now, I couldn't keep Caitlin out of it. She is pulling herself up and is starting to climb over things. She'll wake you up in the morning talking to Connor, and jumping on her bed. She has a temper on her, and when she isn't getting what she wants, she screams on top of her lungs! And she loves shiny things, mostly diamond earrings. Girls, aren't they great?
Connor on the other hand is more laid back, but is very easily frustrated. He has shown no interest in moving on his own, but last time I said that in regards to one of my children, Caitlin started crawling right that second. He seems to be happy being a baby, and not needing to start the growing up process. He likes it when mom does everything for him. Caitlin fights going to sleep, Connor will just nod off whenever. Connor was the first to get a tooth, with another close to breaking through. It's like Noah's Ark at our house, everything in 2's.
We have to world's most awesome mail lady! She is also a mother of twins, so sometimes she will stop to see how everyone is faring. When they came home from the hospital, she left us a congratulations card. The other day I was outside watering my little flower garden by the mailbox when she stopped by. She dropped off a Little Tikes play castle for the kids! ( in the background you can see my van!)
Complete with a slide! We are going to turn our basement into a giant play room for Connor and Caitlin and will move the castle in for them!
Kristen (our mail lady) is so awesome!

Everyone is asleep, I will sign off now, I will leave with this final thought, Man, life has changed so much, and most of it for the better. Before, I couldn't image how people survived having multiples, but now I can't imagine my life without them. I never thought I could love someone so much, when they smile at you, it makes everything okay again.
