Twins 8 Months

Being 8 months old has wore these babies out! I know for sure it has wore this momma out!  These pictures are on two different occasions in the same day where they had passed out playing.  Reid passed out sitting up both times.



Liam refused to get his picture taken with Santa.  He was all for it until we got up to him and it was time to sit in his lap, he then wanted no part of it!  The twins loved him!  So here is our Santa picture minus Liam.


One night while we were gone to Murfreesboro, Bella decided to have her puppies.  We stopped home before we made our way to the neighborhood ornament swap and found 2 female puppies and 1 male puppy had been born.



Liam was so proud of his new puppies!


After we stayed with the puppies for a little while to make sure they were nursing well, we packed up our ornaments and made our way to the Nogodula's house for the neighborhood ornament swap.  Here are all the neighborhood kids before and after they opened their ornaments!  They had such a good time and I am so thankful for such great neighbors!



December also brought a new addition to our family, Hardy Lee Brasfield!  She was born December 23rd to John Hardy Brasfield and Anne Louise Robertson!  I love these two and I am so happy for them!  Welcome to the world Hardy Lee!

I also spent this month in the ER with a sprained ankle.  I was leaving the house to meet up with Ryan in town and as I was walking the kids out to put them in car, I missed the step and fell down all 3 of them!  I stepped down on the side of my foot and was out of commission for a few days.  Thank goodness mom had saved all of her equipment from her foot surgery and I was able to use them to get around the house successfully!

Day 1

Day 2


I believe this was day 4….


This is how I got the kids around those few days!  This scooter was a life saver!

My happy babies!!!!


We spent a lot of time keeping warm in front of the fireplace this month.  Ryan's parents got us our logs for the fireplace for Christmas and we have been putting them to good use!  The boys have fallen in love with this blanket of Liam's and love to be wrapped up in it.  I laid them down in it one day and turned on some cartoons and they laid their for about an hour!


Here they are again except this time they are passed out!


The puppies are getting bigger and bigger!  They are about 3 weeks old here.


We always have to have a bathtub picture every month!  So here it is!  All squeaky clean :)



Do you realize how impossible it is to open up an 8 month olds mouth and take a picture?  It's nearly IMPOSSIBLE!  Here are the best pictures I could get.  They both have their bottom 2 teeth now.  Boy were they a doozy to come through!  There were many sleepless nights but once those finally came through they started sleeping through the night again!  Thank goodness for teething tablets, orajel, tylenol and ibuprofen! (and not all of those at the same time!)



They have also started pulling up on things.  Of course Reid was the first one to do it but Kane followed shortly thereafter!


We made a trip to Vanderbilt to see a pediatric urologist for Kane.  Dr. Tanaka thinks that she can fix his circumcision.  I don't like the fact that he will have to have surgery but it is a decision that we made for him and think it will benefit him in the long run!  Reid came along for the ride too!  Surgery will be an outpatient procedure on February 3rd.



Liam wanted to paint so we got out all of his painting stuff he got for his birthday and brought it to the kitchen so he could work on his masterpieces.



The puppies keep growing and all 3 have been spoken for already!  We started them on puppy food and they seem to be doing well with it.  I wet it until it is soft since they don't have any teeth yet.  I have sent in for their papers and will be getting their shots soon.  They should be ready to go to their homes around February 1st!



See Liam when he was 8 months old, here.
