9 Months Old!

We can't believe the girls turned 9 months old this past Thursday, time is set at light speed when you have kids. We had our 9 month doctor visit with Dr. Rusher and the girls got an A+

The continue to grow and develop well and the doctor couldn't be happier with their progress, which is nice to hear since as a mother I worry.

Here are their stats:
Taylor - 17 lbs 5 oz (25%), 26 inch (10%), head 46.5 (97%)... and yes that is 97% on a non-adjusted scale, she has lots of brains

Madeline - 17 lbs. 8 oz. (25%), 25.5 inch (5%), head 44.5 (70%)

Here is an overall update on the girls:
  • They both have gotten their two bottom teeth in
  • They sit up on their own
  • They pick up all their toys easily and of course everything goes straight to the mouth for a taste test
  • They babble and giggle all the time
  • They love to be with each other and will look at each other and laugh
  • Taylor wants to play with every toy Madeline is currently playing with
  • Madeline will let Taylor have the toy, then either take it back or get another one
  • Bedtime is easy, thank goodness
  • Madeline is our morning girl and Taylor is our night owl
  • They go to bed at 7 and get up somewhere between 5 - 6:30am, 6:30 if we are lucky
  • They love to eat everything Stan makes - lima beans, peas, sweet potato, carrots, avocado, apples, pears, bananas, and any other food we decide to make
  • They are doing very well at picking up their little puffs and feeding themselves, they are similar to Cheerios, but they melt much faster in their mouth.

I think that is about it, but I am sure there is something I am forgetting. Overall they are really happy babies and definitely have their own little personalities! No crawling yet, but Stan and I am pretty happy about that right now since it makes it easier on us. The doctor said we should start transitioning to small table food over the next three months and we are clear to start meats so that should be interesting and fun.

Here are the girls ready to eat in their new highchairs! We got the girls highchairs earlier this week and it has been WONDERFUL!! It makes mealtime a lot easier and they seem to really enjoy them too! (THANK YOU Great Grandmom and Great Granddad, Taylor and Madeline love their xmas present!!!)

Gramps saw the last two blogs. The pictures were great. The girls really look good. He remembered seeing the holiday prints than I got the card and he said again great pictures. We really enjoy seeing the blog too! It is now as nice as being there but it does bring us up to date. Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to blog. Dad smiled several times. He described what the girls were doing, wanted to see a picture of you. He saw Stan and remembered him too! Thank you for the phone call too!

love from all of us.
