Nine months!

Oh.my.goodness. My sweet babes are nine months old! They are growing just too fast. Everyone says that, but it is true. The joy they bring to our lives is palpable! Let's see what they have been up to....

Getting more difficult to take these pictures.... 

Sweet Lorelei

Weight/Length: This sweet girl is storing something in her cheeks, obviously. She is 16 lbs 5 oz and 26.5 inches long! And overall healthy! She did have low iron, but we will fix that in no time! 

Hair and Eyes: So, so blonde! And thin. I don't have to dry it. It just kinda poofs out. :) Eyes are blue! 

Diapers: Size 2. - barely. I think we will finish up what we have...

Clothing: Wears 9 month pjs, some 6 month bubbles will have to be retired soon. 

Favorite Things: Anything that crinkles is her favorite. Loves her toes. Still loves the bouncer. Enjoys the paci. 

Likes: Loves bath time. And this girl loves sleep. It is amazing. And awesome. She also likes to sleep face down, which make mom tres nervous.  

Dislikes: Not much she doesn't like. She is so easy going. 

Eating: Still at 6 ounces with one scoop of oatmeal. Eating at  8 am, 12p, 4p, and 7:30ish. We went through a brief food regression. Both girls had a little virus and neither was having anything to do with food. BUT we are getting back on track with purees and slowing exploring solids that they can pick up and feed themselves.

Sleeping: Still sleeping like a champ! This sweet, angel baby sleeps through the night!! She goes down at 7:30ish and I usually have to wake her up at 7ish! Her sister on the other hand..... 

Milestones: Houston, we have a crawler! Not near as fast as sissy, but she'll get there. She can pick up puffs to eat and can pull herself up on just about anything. 

Eloise:

Weight/Length: E is 15 lbs 8 oz. and 27.25 inches long. She is taller than sisy but weighs less. She is a skinny mini!  

Hair and Eyes: Her hair is getting so long! And it is blonde, but not white like sissy's! Eyes are beautiful blue!

Diapers: Size 2

Clothing: 9 month pjs. We still have some 6 month outfits that work though, but moving on to 9 month clothes.

Favorite Things:  Crawling FAST to the dog food! Ha! Likes to stand, but likes to be held so she can be up high and see everything. And she likes to snuggle right before falling asleep. These are some of the sweetest moments.

Likes: Loves smiling and laughing. Plays with all sorts of toys. Very curious

Dislikes: Being put down or feeling like no one is paying attention to her. She no longer enjoys her bouncers, because she is then confined to one place. And we can't have that happen. 

Eating: 6 oz every feeding with 2 scoops of oatmeal. Getting much better about spitting up! Same eating schedule as sis. Same with sis in the food regression, but she is slowing coming back around. I hate they got sick. 

Sleeping: She goes to her bed around 7:15, but actually goes to sleep 8-8:30..... She just about sleeps through the night. She will startle some and I can just put her paci in and she'll go back to sleep till about 6:00. She seriously has a fear of missing out on something.  

Milestones: She is crawling everywhere and fast! She definitely understands her name. If she is going where she shouldn't, I can say her name and she will stop, grin and debate about continuing. Oh, this girl right here.... She also has FIVE teeth now! 

Mom's thoughts: I just can't believe how fast they are growing! This is a really fun age. They laugh and "talk" and I just wish I knew what they were saying! 

As they get older I begin to realize the great responsibility we have. OMG I have to teach them to do the right thing!? I have to instill in them the values of life?! We are certainly in for an adventure!
