16/366

I think being a mom of all the same gender of children is incredibly fascinating. Each one of them is so different...and yet so similar. I can't say #1 is like that because they are a boy/girl and #2 is like this because they are the opposite. It's neat to see how they each are turning into their own person, their own unique personality, and how each one has similar yet different physical characteristics.

Keighan will be 8 months tomorrow (*sigh*). He has Logan's coloring and Landon's personality and his height came from a giant apparently. He's more on the quiet side than either of them were, not that he can get a word in with them around anyways! He is always intently watching them as if he's trying to figure them out and figure out how he can do it too.

He started crawling recently and everyday is making improvements on that skill by leaps and bounds. He also began pulling up on things all by himself this week.

Tonight I had changed his diaper and before I could get the new one fastened he had flipped over and was crawling away. I had to pull him back about 3 times to get the new diaper on then let him go to see what he was so anxious to get. A few feet away was a golf ball. Honestly I have no clue where it came from. He grabbed it, looked at it for a moment, then with it in his hand continued on his way until he reached the tabletop Foosball table (which stays on the floor instead of a table). He always loves to play with the Foosball table, usually sliding the score counter back and forth. This time he played with that for a minute then dropped the golf ball in. He'd pick it back up then drop it back in and bat it around and sometimes twirl the men around too. It's as if he's already figuring out how to do all these things. I love this age where you can practically see their minds working as each gear turns and something clicks into place. Before long his moment of solitary fun was interrupted as both of his big brothers came bounding over and began playing while he played with the scoring part again.
