8 MONTHS?

How is it possible that my little girls turned 8 months over the weekend?  It seems so surreal to me!  Here are some random pictures from the last month.

Above:  Alexis listening to her Daddy sing to her.  He's singing "Brown eyed girl".

Above:  Addison laughing at Terry singing "Blue eyed girl".

Why can't I ever get a picture where both girls are looking at the camera at the same time?

Above:  This picture was taken the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  Grandma and her girls!  Alexis left & Addison right.

Above:  Addison played just a little too hard.  This is one of my favorite pictures of her.  It captures her true sweetness and how she loves on everything from people to her Teddy Bears.

Above: Oh sweet Alexis!  Sometimes she just keeps going until she literally passes out.  One minute she will be talking and then a second later she's out like a light. 

Above: Alexis in her swing again.  Poor thing slept like that for about an hour.  She woke up with a nice red mark on her face.  But she took a great nap!

 Above:  We've officially had to rope off our living room.  As the girls start crawling more and become more interested in things other than their toys, we had to find a way to "corral" them.  Right now this is what our living room looks like.  I can tell we are going to have to come up with an alternative plan soon!

Above:  Just thought I would share the extent of our Christmas decorations this year.  We decided that since the girls are too young to understand Christmas that we would just bypass the tree this year.  But it was with great delight that I hung the stockings with care!  Ok, so If the stockings were "hung by the chimney with care"....wouldn't they be hung up outside?  Isn't a chimney outside?  Shouldn't it be....The stockings were hung by the mantle with care?  Am I just nuts?
