They both love baths and come speed crawling or walking to the bathroom if they hear the water running. They started getting into more disagreements around 13 to 14 months. They still love to play together and follow each other around, but they are having some trouble sharing. Reece becomes suddenly interested in anything Liam plays with, especially if it's a toy I've given Liam to keep him distracted while getting his diaper changed. Reece makes diaper time difficult, no matter who is being changed! Even though they have trouble sharing, they have lots of fun playing together. Reece likes to push Liam around on his toy motorcycle. Both parties think that's a hilarious game.</div>

Reece is still very social. I take him to a music class at my church and he goes from lap to lap making friends and checking out everyone's snacks. If you have food he expects you to give him some. Around 12 months if he saw you with food he wanted he would shout out "uhmmm, uhmm, uhmmm" until you gave him some. He started saying "uh oh" at 12½ months. Reece got really good at mimicking things around his first birthday. I even taught him to stick out his tongue. At 13 months Reece learned to say "no, no, no," from a friend of his. He would crawl around shaking his head no. I don't think he understood what it meant for a few weeks but he definitely knows now. When he doesn't get his way he yells "no, no, no!" He started to say "out" at 13½ months when he wanted out of the highchair or car and now he is learning the word "more" which he pronounces "me". He also tries to make the same sounds as you so he will occasionally say mom or dad if I tell him to and he likes to meow like the kitty. His two favorite things are our cat Orange and a big bouncy ball we have. Reece also loves his dad and any time he sees him he goes and finds the big bouncy ball and brings it to him to play with. Reece started trying to walk at 14 months, but he would always take a step or two and then fall. It took him 3 weeks to really master it. I'm not sure what you would call his first steps since it was a pretty slow process. At 14 months, Reece started to get destructive. He loves to take things apart and open things. I have these snack catcher cups which are supposed to help kids get just a few snacks at a time without spilling them all, but Reece figured out how to take the lid off. On the other hand, he is very vocal so I can tell by his squeaks and squeals from the other room that he has gotten into something he shouldn't. He is an active boy. I have a hard time getting him to sit still for more than a second to get him dressed or to change his diaper or to do pretty much any small task. Active as he is, Reece always needs some cuddle time after a nap. When Liam sees Reece getting cuddles, he will crawl over to get some brother-mommy cuddles, too.</div>

Liam learned to crawl a little after his first birthday. This is also when he learned to clap and he would take it very seriously. He learned to say "uh oh" at 13 months and he still loves to say it all the time! He loves dropping things and saying "uh oh". Usually he will say "uh oh" first and then drop what he's holding. It took me a while to pick up that Liam knew other words because he mumbles quite a bit or doesn't say the whole word. "Out" is pronounced "ou". He loves all two syllable words and loves adding an inflection. I thought I heard him say cracker when he was a little over 13 months but he hadn't said much but "uh oh" at that point so I thought I must be hearing him wrong. I caught him trying to mooch a goldfish from a friend of mine and she asked me if he knew how to talk because she was pretty sure he just said "cracker". My mother-in-law Beverly came out to visit when they were 14½ months and taught them how to say "thank you" which is another one of Liam's favorite phrases. She also taught him to say "boo" for peekaboo. Liam isn't walking yet, but it seems to be because he's very cautious. If he even thinks for a second that he is in danger of falling, he collects himself and sits down on his bottom carefully. Liam is very gentle. We joke that he has a gift with bugs. I have found him playing with ladybugs a few times in the backyard and once I found him laying on the floor gently stroking a cracker. I came back a few minutes later, and on closer inspection the cracker was actually a large moth. The moth was unharmed and perfectly content to get scritches from his friend. </div>

Liam does throw little temper tantrums that can last for a few minutes. He will whine and kick his feet and rock when he doesn't get his way sometimes. When he's not behaving he spends some time in his crib and comes out more loving than ever. Liam loves to play with toy phones and hold them to his ear and pretend to talk on them. It's odd, because the toys don't look anything like my iPhone and he's rarely seen me talk even on that. </div>

Liam is becoming an avid climber. Our fragile and dangerous items are moving higher and higher as Liam learns to maneuver taller and taller furniture. He has even learned to push his motorcycle to strategic positions for use as a stepping stool.</div>

Liam loves anything with wheels or that you can spin. Liam also loves to cuddle and lay on things. I used to feel honored that he loves to come over and lay his head on me, but then one day I saw him go over to a slide at the park and cuddle it and I realized that he just likes to be comfortable. Even on amusement park kiddy rides he likes to put his feet up and relax. </div>

We play in the yard every afternoon with a few little yard toys I have including a slide the boys love to go down. Liam mostly likes to stand at the top, but Reece has gotten pretty good at climbing up, turning around, and then going down the slide the proper way. </div>

Both boys are decent eaters and will take at least a few bites of anything you give them. The only food Liam hates is bananas. Liam went through a phase for a while where he would hoard food in his mouth. They stopped letting me spoon feed them at 12½ months. Now they will only eat food that they can feed themselves. I gave eggs to Reece once at 12 months and he immediately broke out in a bad rash. We had him tested for allergies and it seems like that must have just been a coincidence. The boys like when you sing to them while they eat and Liam will try to sing along and Reece likes to dance. Then they clap when you are finished with your performance of each song. Both boys love the "finger spin" game. It requires a parent to extend a finger so that a baby can place a gear toy or a ring or a lego on their finger and then spin it around. If a finger is not readily available, a baby may find your hand and extend your finger for you.</div>

Our boys have learned to be gentle with the kitties. They get in a few gentle strokes before they lose control and grab kitty's fur. They are good friends with Orange and are generous with their snacks. They have gotten the idea that Orange enjoys graham crackers and seem confused when he doesn't eat the crackers they shove in his face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both boys like to laugh and find many things funny. Reece likes to knock things over and see how they fall in amusing ways. Hiding under a pillow or in a tunnel and letting either baby discover you is sure to get a laugh. Any reaction by a cat to anything is very funny. No matter what Reece is laughing at, Liam will laugh too. He thinks that just laughing is funny, on its own.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys now clamor over to the window whenever they hear a loud car go by. They want to see what garbage truck or street cleaner is making such a cool loud sound. They also head for the window whenever anybody leaves. They press their faces against the window until the person is out of sight, then they go back to playing.</div>

Traveling has gotten to be almost impossible during the last few months. The boys hate being in the car and wont sleep in their carseats even when I drive at night. I went to visit my family a few months ago and they pretty much cried the entire drive to Southern California. </div>

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the boys' room all redone. Last August Ryan and I decided to switch rooms with the boys which meant a few tweaks to my original plan. Our house has an odd layout. The largest room (which is all of 9x12 feet) is actually not the master bedroom with a bathroom attached. We had always used the biggest room as our room and when the babies were born I had planned their nursery in the master bedroom. When they were started to outgrow sharing a crib we ran out of room and had to switch to fit a second crib.</div>

I have been needing to cut the boys' hair for a while now but part of me was a little sad to do it because I thought their little baby mullets were kind of cute. Today I decided It was probably getting a little too long. For some reason this brought the mommy emotions out in me. I can't get over these boys growing up.</div>

Both boys really liked the bunny. Reece tried to crawl after him and Liam was very fond of petting him. I think we may need to work on stranger danger because the boys have no fear of new people or creatures.</div>

Ten to twelve months has been rough. It's winter and cold season, and it feels like Liam and Reece have been sick since Christmas, but now it's finally starting to warm up! You will notice the boys are wearing pajamas in most of these pictures, but that's our uniform when we are sick. I have a hard time accepting that they are one now. It has been the shortest and longest year ever.<br />

Liam is cuddly, sweet, pensive, jealous, cute, quirky, and serious.<br />
<br />
When Liam is excited he huffs and puffs and does this flopping thing. It a variation of the jumping jacks he used to lay on his back and do. He rocks and kicks at the same time. If you hold him up in the air he does it and opens his mouth up wide like a flying fish. Liam makes the best disgusted faces when eating cold or bitter things. Liam also loves to shake his head "nooo". It's one of his only tricks, and if I try to get him to do another one like clap or say words, he just shakes his head "nooo". I am pretty sure he knows I am trying to get him to do a trick, he just thinks he should get to choose which one. Liam learned to pull himself up at 11 1/2 months. Liam was a little behind in learning to pull himself up. The only reason he finally learned is because he wanted to climb into my lap. I was the only thing he would pull himself up on at first. He is a total momma's boy and I love it.<br />

<br />
Now he is all over the house pulling himself up. He loves to look out the front window and see everything going on outside. Liam hasn't learned to crawl yet but he is a speed army crawler. He is pretty good at keeping up with Reece. It is cute to see them follow each other around all day. They may not be playing together, but they almost never leave each others' side.</div>

It's funny how much they disregard personal space with each other. I had to separate their highchairs because they would always distract each other and put their hands all over each others arms and trays.<br />

Reece is active, personable, happy, loud, bold, hungry, and everywhere. He is very strong socially. He laughs when I laugh, and Liam laughs when Reece laughs. When Reece is around other kids he crawls very proudly. It's more of a march with his head held high and a big smile on his face. He loves other kids and being the center of attention. Reece crawls all over. He mastered crawling at about 10 months. He also started dancing sometime after 11 months. Whenever he hears music he starts to bob and sway.<br />

The Pabst family has a trait where we like to stand on our toes, and Reece definitely has it. It's actually not great in the long run, but right now with Reece's chubby legs and feet it's very cute!<br />
<div>

<br />
Reece loves to snack. He likes to hang out underneath his high chair in search of leftover food, usually right after mealtime. I don't think its because he's hungry, I think it's because he found that food all by himself, like a mountain man.<br />

He likes to steal the other kids' sandwiches at the church playgroup we go too. He is a scavanger.</div>

We are still working on sharing. Reece has no boundaries and Liam gets jealous easily. Liam doesn't get jealous about attention, mostly just bottles and toys. They are both big copy cats. Wherever one goes the other one follows and if one yells then the other yells.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys have been taking two naps a day and I am pretty good at keeping them on the same schedule. It's fun to listen to them fall asleep because most of the time they make sounds back and forth until they fall asleep. Then, when they wake up they do the same thing. I almost always find them playing with each other in the middle of both of their cribs like this.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">The boys love trucks, balls, and furry animals. </span>We still love to read books. They love to turn the pages, and will flip very quickly through any pages that bore them. Their favorite books are the ones with photographs or things you can touch like fur. It's so cute to see Liam stick out one pointer finger and gently pet the soft animal fur in the book. Liam also uses that finger so swipe things on the ipad and iPhone. He figured that part out out on his own and very quickly.<br />

The boys spend a lot of their day looking outside our windows, and luckily most of them are just the right height.</div>

Winter has been slow around here with the rain and cold (I know, you Idahoans are rolling your eyes) but now that it's warming up Ryan and I are trying to do something fun as a family every other Saturday. Last week we went to <a href="http://www.hhpz.org/">Happy Hallow park and zoo</a>. It's a small zoo, but it also has a bunch of kiddy rides and a petting zoo. I got a season pass so I can take the boys to play there during the week.</div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">I have been collecting plates to decorate my kitchen with for the past two years. We have vaulted ceilings, which create an awkward triangle space above our cabinets that has always felt like it needed something. Even though my collection isn't complete I thought it was time to put the ones I have so far up. After looking into how much plates hooks cost and how most of them are visible I decided to improvise. Since these plates aren't worth much to anyone but me, I decided use some E6000 and a paperclip to do the job. I put felt on the back while it was still wet to make it stronger. So far it's done a good job</span>.</div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I haven't posted much but pictures since Christmas because the boys or I have been sick for the last 2 months which limits fun things to talk about. Last week they seemed to be getting better though, except for Liam's double ear infection, but he's took antibiotics so now he is in the best shape he has been in a while. Last week we did lots more fun stuff and it being birthday week couldn't be better timing. We made it through our first year with twins so we had lots to celebrate! On the Tuesday before their birthday the twins and I went with friends to the De Young art museum which is my favorite museum in California. It was free museum day which means it was crowded but well worth it. I was so embarrassed because the musuem has high ceilings and lots of open spaces which made the acoustics amazing. The babies kept yelling happily to hear the sounds echo back.</span></div>

We also wanted to take the boys to Monterey on our first family trip alone. Both Ryan and I love it there. We drove up the coast on our honeymoon and we stopped there for a few days. Now that we live close by we try to go about one a year. We decided to go stay at a hotel so we could also take the boys swimming. We took a page from my parents' playbook and stayed at an embassy suites so we wouldn't have to share a room with the boys. It also had a warm indoor pool to take boys swimming for the first time.</div>

When we got home we found a package from Nana and Papa Pabst! </div>
<div>
The boys each got their own motorcycle. It's the first toy we own two of. I've been making them share until this point, but it's getting more difficult to explain sharing to them lately. They love sitting on their motorcycles and pushing all the buttons, though they don't know how to make them go forward yet. Liam would sit on his all day if he could.</div>

I wasn't sure about having a party since they don't care yet and they don't really have friends, but I thought it would be fun to have a few people over for sunday dinner and then have cupcakes. It was fun and very chill. Perfect for a first birthday.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The boys are one! I took these pictures on their birthday last week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They also just had a doctors appointment so here are their stats:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Reece</span></b></b></div>
<b>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">My doctor said it can take up to two years for twins to catch up to regular size and so their growth has really shown. Liam went from being in the 5th percentile for height when he was born to now being in the 45th. Both boys show some slowing down in the weight department though. I'm going to miss those cute cankles.</span></span></div>

A few weeks ago I threw a baby shower for my friend Brooke who is having a baby boy this month. She might just be the cutest pregnant person ever. I love throwing parties and my friend Erin was nice enough to let me borrow her house. Since it was January I decided to do a hot cocoa bar and cookies. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For shower activities I got a copy of <u>Where the Wild Things Are</u> so everyone could write Brooke well wishes on the inside of the cover. I also filled a big jar with tootsie pops and had people guess how many were inside. That game was called "Ready to pop?"</div>

I made a table cloth out of some home decor fabric I had that went with my color scheme... After the party I ended up using the fabric to re-cover an ottoman I had in the babies room. It turned out super cute. </div>

Easiest garlands ever. I made them with wrapping paper and sewed them together with bias tape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel bad though, I realized after the party I pretty much had no pictures of people since I took most of them before the party started because I was hosting and I get super nervous taking pictures of people. Probably why the majority of pictures on my blog are of people not old enough to know I am photographing them. </div>

Liam has the cutest smile. His smile doesn't go up in the corners, it's just a straight line all the way across his face. When he is really excited, he will open his mouth up wide like a fish. He is a quirky kid. Whenever he comes across something new, his first response is always to raise it high above his head and then cover his face with it.</div>

Liam continues to use rolling as his main way to get around and he is really good at it. He added army crawling a little before he was 10 months and he also just started being able to get into a sitting position on his own. He also loves to do the yoga position "downward dog". Liam is very gentle and sweet. He loves to rest his head on his mom or dad (or brother) whenever he can. He can always be counted on to cuddle when he is first waking up. He gets through the night by cuddling his little stuffed bunny blanket.</div>

Liam is a very calm kid in general, but he does have a stubborn side. I've had a hard time getting him to sit up because he just doesn't like sitting–he's good at it, but he'd just rather roll around on the floor. If he doesn't want to do something there is really no making him. When Liam does his "I don't feel like eating a bottle right now" routine, Ryan will try lots of sneaky ways of getting it in his mouth without him noticing. It makes Liam more and more frustrated until Ryan gives up, then Liam will look at him as if to say, "Hey, you're giving up? Where'd my bottle go?", and then drink his bottle happily.</div>

Liam had a hard time getting his third and fourth tooth right before he turned ten months. He was a wreck for a few weeks. I took him and Reece to the fabric store and everyone in the store kept stopping me to say how the boys were such opposites. Reece was smiling and flirting with all the old ladies and Liam was scowling. He would cry and whine all the time and the only thing that would make him content was to watch the cartoon "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas".</div>

The boys LOVE the grinch. It is their all time favorite thing to watch. They love tv in general, but the grinch will hold their attention all the way up until the part where the grinch learns the true meaning of Christmas. They do not like that part. I think they are much more entertained by that mean sneaky grinch.</div>

They also like "The Foot Book". I think they are big Dr. Seuss fans. Liam has always loved toys and around 8 months he turned into a real toy thief. After the boys have woken up I will go into their room and pretty often Liam will have both of the little stuffed blanky animals in his crib. </div>

Reece is very charming and has been really pleasant lately. He seems so be happy 99% of the time. He even got 4 more teeth at 8 months and none of them seemed to cause him the pain or grumpiness that the first two did. He started getting himself into a sitting position unassisted at around 9 months. He also started army crawling at 9 months and got really fast at it. He gets his knees up really high for army crawling. He now can regular crawl about 5 feet but he still gets on his elbows and knees for long distance crawling. When I am getting ready in the morning he will spot me from the living room and crawl all the way down the hall to come visit me. When he finally makes it he will pound on my feet and sing. He likes to crawl over to wherever I may be sitting. I'm not sure if it's because he likes me or because I am fun to climb on. Reece is not very cuddly so he won't stay in my arms very long. He started pulling himself up on furniture and windowsills and people at about 9 and a half months.<br />

I like the awkward pre-toddler phase they are at right now. Reece has the cutest little mullet going on and I just can't bring myself to cut it off. He also has really fat feet. </div>

So far Liam might be an introvert and Reece might be an extrovert. Liam can play quietly by himself for long periods, while Reece needs to be the center of attention. When we're with new people, Liam will continue to do his own thing. Reece will crawl over to meet everyone and sit in their laps. I started training the boys to hold their own bottles at around 5 months. It took them until 8 months to master drinking an entire bottle without assistance. Of course now I'm back to helping them again because they are having trouble focusing. Any small distraction will have them dropping their bottles and rolling over to investigate.</div>

At 9 months I started sitting the boys down to eat 3 times a day, though they were not yet very interested in food. Reece would eat two bites and be done and then Liam would have a little more. At nine and a half months the boys developed a better appetite. Reece started to pick food up with his hands and by 10 months he was pretty good at it. Liam loves to eat but he has a hard time putting food in his mouth on his own. He would prefer to sit without eating over having to put food in his own mouth so I always end up helping him out.</div>

Both boys have long attention spans. I have been reading them books before they go to bed or nap since they were 6 months old and we can get through about 3 board books each time. Our favorites are "The Going to Bed Book", "Goodnight Moon", "Tractor Book" and "The Foot Book." Neither boy has said any words yet, but they babble lots. Liam makes more sounds but his voice is a little quieter. Reece likes to scream and yell, but not about being sad. He is just a loud kid. In the morning or after naps I hear them babbling back and forth and as they wake up. They get louder and more restless sounding and that's how I know they're ready to get out of bed. I taught both boys to shake their head when I shake my head and say "noooo". Their other trick is to wiggle their fingers across their lips to make a funny sound, when I do it first. The other day I was showing someone that trick and Reece leaned over and instead of doing the action to himself he leaned up and did it to me. It was very cute.</div>

Reece and Liam love bath time. They get enormous smiles when they figure out that they're about to get into the tub. We started bathing them together because they have more fun that way. They sit and splash like mad and get Ryan and I sopping wet. Reece spends most of the time trying to shove his head underwater or to pull himself up on the side of the tub. Liam tries to collect all the floating toys on his side of the tub while Reece is distracted. When we take them out and wrap them in big towels they get chattery teeth and pruney toes.</div>

I spend a lot of time playing baby/cat referee. Orange and the boys are very interested in each other. Orange likes to sit a few feet away from the boys, and the boys like to crawl over to him and pull his tail. I am constantly trying to get either a cat or a baby to leave the other alone.</div>

Reece and Liam got an activity table toy with lots of lights and music and toys on it. Their favorite part is the boring 'book' in the middle, with a single plastic page you can turn back and forth. I don't think that part is even supposed to be a toy (it's the way you change from vocabulary to music mode), but both boys love to flip it back and forth, back and forth, like it's the greatest toy in the world.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The boys has to have some routine blood tests done. Reece sat very calmly while they took his blood. He was very interested in the nurses and making new friends. They even had to poke him a second time and take blood from his finger as well as his arm, but he wasn't phased. Liam was very sad when his turn came (even a little before his turn, actually). Even the grinch took a few minutes to calm him down afterwards.</div>

Please ignore their stripy prison uniforms. They wore the sweaters for church, but the pants they had on didn't seem comfortable enough for a nap. When they woke up we decided to open presents since we were flying to Idaho on Christmas Eve. Oh well.<br />

The babies love toys which I hear is unusual for babies this young. Most babies are more interested in the remote or whatever their parents are doing, but not these little guys. I hope that they stay this playful as they grow up! My mom has always said that out of her five kids I loved to play the most. She and my aunt Dina (the only other redhead in the family, which makes us bonded for life) talked when I first started kindergarten about how sad it was that I had to go to school because I loved to stay home and play all day. I have also been told Ryan was a very creative kid so I'm excited for them to grow up and playing with me. So far they are fun kids!<br />

Ryan got lots of tools for all his home projects he has been up to lately. He needs to stop being so handy and start playing more... then maybe he would get a cool truck that shoots out balls like the babies did for Christmas.<br />

Packing for Idaho! We surprised Ryan's family in Idaho and flew up for Christmas. The trip didn't go exactly as planned and started with a 5 hour delay at the airport on Christmas Eve. When we got there, some of the family was sick so we had to keep the boys far away so they wouldn't catch anything. We did get Cafe rio twice and got to go to the movies multiple times which makes it a very exciting week for us.<br />

As my boys have gotten bigger so has all of their stuff. I also have been wanting a diaper bag with an option to be a backpack since my arms are usually very full of babies. I love the idea behind the petunia pickle bottom backpacks (their headquarters are in my hometown Ventura woo hoo) but the only one big enough for me is $200+ and the fabric they come in lately has not really been my style. So I decided to make a bag thats a little more me.</div>

I used laminated fabric because I wanted it to be easy to clean. I loved the pattern on this but I was a little disappointed with the quality. It was a lot thiner than I hoped and it ended up leading to my bag not being as stiff as I would like even with some interfacing ironed in. When the bag is full it's ok and I love the bag besides that. When I designed the bag I wanted it to have lots of pockets. This one has a total of 8 outside pockets and 7 inside. </div>

Liam left and Reece on the right... I'm bummed the order gets reversed once they are in the same crib because they were moving so much that I didn't even notice they switched. Oh well it's a pretty true example of this age. They are everywhere...</div>

While I was away visiting my family for a few days Ryan was putting together some of the BEST Christmas presents ever! He surprised me with them all when I got home since they are a little hard to hide until Christmas.</div>

We used to have to plug in our garbage disposal every time we wanted to use it, but Ryan installed a switch woo hoo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the next project Ryan actually heard me telling my mom a few weeks before it couldn't be done. Ryan installed a water line from our sink to our fridge so we could have filtered water and ice. We got our fridge with an ice maker (I love crushed ice) before we moved into the house and realized it didn't have a water line.</div>

My most romantic looking gift was the lights. Aren't they pretty? He bought out all the Targets around in order to cover our patio. I have been telling him how much I love the look of this kind of lights. So pretty! Can't wait until it warms up and we can start eating out there.</div>

We had been trying ever since we moved in to bring our front lawn back to life and when the babies were born we decided to officially let it die. Last month we hired the same guy who did our back yard to put in a sprinkler system and grass. At some point in the future we will do the walkway up to the front door and then maybe this spring or summer we can do some landscaping around the border of the grass.</div>

I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving-- I get to live in a place that is relatively warm most of the year, I have a cute little house with projects to keep me busy. I had an amazingly healthy twin pregnancy and now two big, cute, happy and healthy baby boys, to go along with my very rockin' husband who has a good job for a company he loves. Also I am thankful for Lucky Charms... They got me through a few rough patches this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a very relaxing Thanksgiving at home this year. Ryan had the week off and his mom came and spent the holiday with us. It was very nice to have extra hands around here to help with the boys and show us how to properly cook a turkey. Ryan and I also got to go run errands together without the boys, go out on a date, take naps, and sleep in! Woo hoo! I did miss my family though, which makes me pretty excited to get to see them in a few weeks. </div>

Since Reece and Liam turned eight months right after Halloween I thought it would be cute to take their eight month photos in their costumes.</div>

Reece</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Reece learned to roll from his back to his stomach at exactly five months. It took him until seven and a half months to figure out how to roll back over, but the doctor said it may be because he is so happy on his stomach that he hasn't felt the need to. He loves being on his belly. He sleeps and plays that way for most of the day. He could get up onto his hands at almost six months and at seven months he could get up onto his knees. He goes in circles and scoots backwards. He hasn't figured out how to go forward yet but I have a feeling he will any day now. At six months he was able to sit up unassisted. We didn't even practice. When I went to the doctor for his six month appointment she said "He is really strong, I bet he could sit up on his own" and she was right! At about seven months he started sticking his tongue out to the side all the time. It looks like his thinking face, but really I think he is just feeling his new teeth. Reece now loves to wiggle his fingers against his lips while he babbles to hear the sounds change.<br />

Reece after-- He didn't even care that he fell over, he just kept playing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Reece is a very happy boy even though he may be a little more sensitive than his brother. He is also very charming. I take him out and he kicks his feet, smiles, laughs, and squeals happily at all the people he meets. When I zip up his pajamas he thinks I am tickling him from his feet to his neck. He loves eskimo kisses and when I give them to him he scrunches up his face and neck and giggles coyly. Reece loves to be moving. I can tell he will be an active kid. He kicks his legs constantly and loves to bounce in his jumparoo. When he first tried food at four and a half months he didn't like it. I continued to give him a taste every time I fed Liam, but he was not interested. At six months he finally decided that food is okay. I think it just took him that long to figure out what was going on.<br />

Liam</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Liam learned to roll a few weeks after Reece at five and a half months. He doesn't seem to be as strong as Reece, but he picked up on rolling both directions right away. At seven months he got really fast at rolling and he now rolls as his main mode of transportation. However, he is mostly just content to be in one spot on his back.<br />

<br /></div>
He also has a cute blue bunny stuffed animal that is attached to a little blanket that he loves to hold while he sleeps. Because he is quieter and better at entertaining himself, he is also a little sneakier. I often find him rolling under the couch or I'll turn around and he will have gotten the mail or something I have accidentally left on the floor and be chewing on it quietly. Lately he spends a lot of time trying to figure out how to open the TV cabinet cupboard or hiding behind my curtains. He likes to observe things. He watches Reece and everyone around him to see what they are doing. I think he really loves his family and thinks we are very funny. When he is down on the floor he does this action that looks like jumping jacks over and over again. Recently I have noticed him getting more opinionated. If he wants something he will cry until he gets it or will steal it from his brother. He decided at seven months that he does not like to be held or touched while he is drinking his bottle. However he does like me to hold it for him even though he knows how to do it himself. When I was at church trying to hold him and give him a bottle he cried and cried until I put him on the ground and gave it to him. He wouldn't even sit in his car seat. He had to be spread out on his back with nobody touching him. The other mothers in Relief Society thought he was the strangest baby.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both boys got their first tooth at around six and a half months on the same day. By seven months they both had two teeth. Reece had a harder time with teething than Liam. Both boys started to babble when they started teething. Originally most of the sounds were sad pain sounds accompanied by a pretty pathetic looking grimace. The most common sound is "adaaah". Now they babble frequently. Liam talks less than Reece, but he does make all the same sounds. They are both very ticklish and love to laugh. Neither are super cuddly but they do like to rest their heads on my shoulder briefly which makes me very happy. They love each other very much and love to look at each other and laugh and smile. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always tried to keep them on the same schedule. So usually if one eats or sleeps I will try to get the other one to do the same. The boys have always been pretty good sleepers and have slept a few hours more than the standard, however at four and a half months both boys severely regressed in their sleeping and started to need lots of rocking while screaming and crying to get to sleep. We managed okay at night when Ryan was home, but nap time turned into crap time. Some people have reacted with surprise when I told them I did not want to rock my babies anymore. Those people do not understand that it is impossible to rock two babies to sleep. The rockee will cry and wake up his sleeping brother, so you'll switch and rock the other, who will cry and wake up his brother... and there is always one sad baby waiting for his turn. We quickly realized that having two babies who can only fall asleep by being rocked is not a sustainable situation. We started trying different bedtimes and routines and tricks to try and get them to sleep, but after about 6 weeks of trying we finally decided on a bedtime routine of reading books and singing songs, and after that they would just need to fall asleep on their own, tears or no tears. Every day of sleep training they cried a little less before falling asleep. Within a few weeks they were sleeping 10-12 hours straight again and going to sleep without any assistance and taking 2-3 naps a day. It really has made them so much happier. Around the same time we decided to separate the boys into their own cribs since Reece was getting so big and they were rolling into each other. We put the cribs side by side so they can still see and play with each other. We sleep trained them together so that they would be used to each others' sounds and maybe feel reassured. One of my favorite things is to hear them in their cribs laughing and squealing as they play in their cribs before and after they go to sleep.</div>

I have really started enjoying these two little guys. I don't like complaining because these boys are incredible and being a mom is exactly what I want to be, but if I want to document this accurately I have to admit that having these two boys has been really hard. The first 6 months really kicked mine and Ryan's butts but I now am beginning to see why it is all worth it. Even though it's hard they are so fun and playful. I feel like Heavenly Father has been teaching me patience my whole life and maybe these two are why... or maybe this is just another chapter in the lesson.<br />

Our church does a yearly "trunk or treat" and this year they went all out with fun activities and dinner. I did the posters for each of the 13 activities and I thought I would post a few. These started life as a poster for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_Society">Relief Society</a> Christmas dinner for which I am also making posters. When I realized its spooky potential I took it in a whole new direction. </div>
