Though it may look like two posts in such a short interval would resemble some sort of New Year's resolution, we're actually posting this because we have some more cute pictures taken with the new camera we finally figured out how to use. Cheryl was out of town for a bachelorette this weekend, so I had to fend for myself with the kids, and they couldn't have been better. With the help of some rice cereal added to their formula, they're putting in some solid sleeping hours. I think Saturday night was a new record; at least 10 hours uninterrupted for the both of them! Malia is feeding very well these days, taking down full feedings nearly throughout the day - must be a growth spurt. Austin, too, is feeding well like always, which bodes well for his helmet therapy.
They're now past the 8 month mark, but the corrected age/true age gap is still difficult to decipher. They are still a ways off from sitting up on their own, but their personalities are definitely coming through. Malia discovered her tongue for the first time a few weeks ago, and loves blowing bubbles and making whoopie cushion noises. She rolls over prolifically, which adds to the challenge of keeping her out of trouble. Austin is still a bit of a blob, still burdened by the effects of gravity on his burly physique, but is now starting to roll over more regularly and pick his head up.
We spent Sunday up at my brother's house, and got some cute pictures, so here you go!

| Perhaps it's a little late in the game, but we're finally getting the highchair feeding going. They're only taking rice cereal "paste," but they both did pretty well for their first sitting. And Austin, of course, was amused. |

| Austin made a mess too, but was digging the opportunity to sit at the big boy table |

| Happy boy, as always! |
