Almost 8 months

Time is flying! And I love these months where they're learning to move and totally love climbing all over me.
But our sleep is still crazy. After their first night sleeping through, they slowly reverted back several months. We moved, so I know this screwed them up. And then we responded too quickly to tweets and cries, so this screwed things up too. It returned to getting up every hour for one baby or the other. Wow, tiring. I'm working 25 hrs a week now and sometimes wonder how the hell I'm functioning.
Our recent plan has been splitting them up. So one stays in his room (and I in the spare room beside their's) and the other sleeps in our room in a playpen. Both are sleeping much better on their own and we only have to respond/hear one baby a night. I'm slowly feeling like I'm not a zombie. So we just have to decide when we're brave enough to put them in the same room again. So that WE can sleep together again!
So our milestones update is: the second baby got one tooth, both are crawling although one is significantly faster and better at it, one baby insists on pulling himself to stand (and then often falling and bumping his head), and one baby says mama and dada without really realizing he's saying it. Fun stuff!
So that's my quick update.
