Malachi is 8 Months

My camera hasn't had much use this month except to help Nate make a poster for the concert this Friday. Other than that, here are Malachi's 8 month pictures! As usual, there seem to be repeats, but for the careful observer multiples are included so you can really get to know the various expressions of Malachi's personality!

I saved this outfit for 8 months since my mom came in Sept. just so he could have a new outfit! Thanks, Mom.

Sitting by himself (mostly--he still falls when reaching for something).

Sarah, here is the evidence. He loves to play the "Snowman Game."

"Exploratory...Your Reflection!" Elijah saw this pic and thought the other guy was him. Now we truly have a twins picture.

Who is that handsome guy?

Sticking out his tongue is trademark Malachi.

Not his best picture (other than his brown eyes make me melt). I include this to show you how he refuses to let anyone see his new tooth. He sticks his tongue way out and when I try to move my fingers he seals his lips so tight. Oh, little guy, shy about your first little tooth!

This is my new desktop background! So natural and true to life. Brothers! Precious!

See, these two pictures are different...I have to include them both!

And a third---this one I like Elijah's smile and it shows Malachi sucking his thumb and holding grass (which he tried to eat of course). Elijah looks so grown up here! He'll be 2 on Saturday!!

I love the green. Who needs a portrait studio? I just love these natural ones.

There's my thoughtful guy. What a little muffin boy! Thank you, God, for our boys!!! I'm crazy about them.
