Jack 8 Months Old!
Maggie 8 Months Old!
The past month just completely flew by at the Keller house. And it has been quite a past two weeks. Poor Brian was sick, and he helped out with the kids as much as he could, but for a few days I was on my own. We managed though and fortunately neither baby nor myself caught anything from Brian. And now that he is healthy again, things are going back to normal...as normal as it can get around here. :)
Spring has arrived and the weather has been fantastic. Each afternoon we've been going on a walk around the block. Friday I took the kids downtown to meet Brian's co-workers and my former co-workers. It was neat getting to show them off and they were very well behaved for the visit. Maggie still had some of her stranger fear, but she warmed up by the time we got to my old work. Then they got to visit more people this afternoon! We went to the annual Soard Birthday get-together and the kids got to meet tons of new people. Thank you to Mike & Kristy for having us over, Happy Birthday to Chad & Erin and congratulations to Kate & Geoff on their engagement!! The visit went very well. Jack was unusually fussy when we got there, but after a diaper change, burp and bottle he was his happy self. Maggie was happy, and even played with Erin for quite some time, which was awesome! Next year maybe there will be another small person for them to play with? ;-)
Today was their last RSV shot, and they took it very well. Jack weighs just over 16 lbs and Maggie just over 14 lbs. The nurse confirmed that Jack is really close to cutting teeth, which might explain his recent trouble with taking bottles and sleeping. Hopefully they cut soon and we can move on from this phase. He has been waking every 4 hours, which isn't terrible, but with Maggie waking in between for pacifier and body repositioning, it can get tiring. Jack is sitting independently and playing with toys very well. We need to work on his tummy time, he has started to scoot a bit. Maggie still doesn't want to sit, but will when she is having a story read to her or watching her nursery rhyme book. She is rolling a lot better and has even started rolling towards toys. The other day she rolled over to the ottoman and then laid there smacking it for well into 5 minutes. Maggie has also started playing independently, keeping herself entertained with toys, her feet or just babbling on the family room floor. They are both enjoying their new trick, patting and banging around toys. Both enjoy their jumperoo and are really starting to get the bouncing down.
Each day seems to bring something new or fascinating with each of the munchkins!
Here are some random pictures from the past week.

Oh, man! They just keep getting cuter. Maggie looks soo excited in every picture. Maybe next time I can see that face in person? I need to work on not being quite so scary. :) You and Brian have got some pretty adorable babies.
We so enjoyed your visit!!! Jack and Maggie are adorable, and you and Brian looked great. Kristy
