9 Months

     
These little sweet petites are 9 months old and just as sweet as can be.  Emma and Maddie turned 9 months on the 14th and we had our doctor appointment this past wednesday.  Emma weighed in at 18 pounds 11 ounces and 29 inches long.  Maddie weighed in at 18 pounds 7 ounces and 28.5 inches long.  These girls are long and lean... 90% for height and 50 % for weight. I am so proud of how far they have come from their little meager 1% when they were first born.

The past few months have just been amazing to see how much they have grown and developed.  Emma is crawling all over the place (just finally mastered that this weekend) and Maddie is army crawling like she is on a mission and even faster than her sister on all fours.  Maddie can pull herself up onto her knees and Emma can do so and every now and then get herself up to her feet.  The true "pull to stand" is just around the corner and I'm afraid walking will follow soon behind.

These girls babble up a storm saying baba, momma, da da, and laugh and giggle like you would not believe.  They have already started acting like true "sisters" fighting over toys, specifically the remote control, moms ipad or i phone.


Emma as 4 teeth (two top and two bottom) and Maddie has what I would call 2 and 2 coming in.  She has her two bottom and her two top teeth are just starting to peak through.


We've been busy playing with friends to keep busy.  The two neighbor boys keep these little girls entertained and they have two little boyfriends Douglas and Henry that we hang out with on a regular basis.  We've started going to story time and just joined a baby and mommy gym.  \

Life feels like it is moving at a rapid pace right now and to be quite honest it makes me a little sad.  I am happy that the girls are FINALLY big enough that we can start to do some fun activities but my baby baby girls are not so newborn anymore and really are turning into little toddlers with personalities and minds of their own.  They sure are entertaining to say the least.  We have some busy weeks ahead of us but all fun stuff full of family time, traveling, and getting set for lots of summer activities.
