8 months

IMG_4544

Owen left Rhys right

I thought on the occasion of the twins’ eighth month birthday, I would discuss 8 things that are different between Rhys and Owen.

1. Their looks! Ha! They look so different to me now. Its in the forehead, the eyes, the cheeks.

2. Rhys is more active overall and Owen is more laid back.

3. Rhys always always always has his fingers in his mouth! Maybe he’s teething? Owen likes to chew on his fingers some but not nearly as much as his brother.

4. Owen generally stays in the exact same place you put him down to go to sleep. Rhys might be on his back of his belly or his side. He might be head up or head down or sideways on the video monitor. He might have his bum up in the air or his feet through the slats of the crib. You never know.

5. Nursing styles- Rhys is all business while Owen looks around every time he hears someone talking or moving or breathing near him.

6. Rhys is very impatient when I feed them baby food while Owen just patiently waits for his turn again.

7. Owen is my snuggle baby. He’ll curl up with you a lot more that his brother will.

8. Rhys spits up all. the. time. Everything. Colored spit up everywhere. As a result, Owen has passed Rhys in weight for the first time. Owen is now 14lbs and Rhys is 13lbs 15oz. Owen has one full ounce on his brother.

Ha! to me, they look more and more ALIKE the older they get! :)

(though, for the record, I could never tell them apart even when I thought they didn't look exactly the same!)

There is no way your boys are 8 months old already. No way.

I can't believe they are already 8 months old. Crazy. And cute.

Owen is so much like my Barnett and Rhys like Manning. The only exception is Barnett is my thumb sucker :)
