Eight Months Old!

Maren and Owen turned 8 months old over the weekend, and they are officially mobile!  They are not crawling but can reach anything exciting (like a clump of dog hair or a cord) by scooting and rolling.   To celebrate surviving 8 months, we will be doing some baby-proofing.

So excited to be 8 months old!

My hand was necessary to keep this smiley guy from diving right off the chair. 

Maren was obsessed with her sticker.  She almost got it off, too.

 Owen may be bigger, but there is no mistaking who's really in charge. 

We also went to a fall festival hosted by a neighborhood church over the weekend.  It started with the world's shortest parade on Saturday.  Seriously, it took us longer to load the stroller and walk (a couple blocks) to the parade than it did to watch it.  The kiddos still had a good time, though.

Watching our first parade!

Finally, here are some other pictures from our last week.

Watching Sesame Street

 Maren scooted under this chair and brought some library books with her.  I am seeing forts in our future.

Showing off some cute outfits.
