Chillin' in their denim
Too cute
Lauren @ 9 months old
Raina @ 9 months old
The girls are 9 months old today! Crazy to think although at times it has felt like they have been here forever other times I realize that these are the last of their baby stages. They are busier than ever, but so interactive and entertaining! Here are their stats:
Raina @ 9 months:
::She has 7 teeth (4 on top and 3 on the bottom)
::She sleeps through the night (8 pm - 7 am)
::She takes two naps throughout the day, one morning and one afternoon nap
::She sucks her two middle fingers (preferably her right hand, but will sometimes suck her left)
::She loves to be rocked, but can often go without (she's more cuddly than Lauren)
::She army crawls everywhere, yet she can also do the standard hands-knees crawl too
::Loves to create obstacle courses (she'll crawl over Lauren all the time or through the bottom of the exersaucers)
::She can pull herself up to things (her crib was lowered because I found her standing in her crib one morning)
::She is a good eater...she eats 3 solid meals a day, with 3 formula feedings throughout the day
::She eats like Barrett does, though, which means that she likes to shove as much food in her mouth at one time as possible
::Her hair is starting to come in although it sort of looks like a faux hawk right now
::She likes to play peek-a-boo and she thinks it's really funny when you suck on her fingers
::She has a great laugh that comes out when you tickle her tummy
::She love to say "momma" and I claim it as her first word (Ben would argue that point, but whatever)
::She wiggles and squirms everywhere and I call her my little runt
::I love her so much and feel so very blessed to have her in my life
Lauren @ 9 months
::She has 2 teeth (two on bottom)
::She sleeps through the night (8 pm - 7 am)
::She takes two naps throughout the day, one morning and one afternoon nap
::She loves silky things
::She prefers to just be left alone in her crib to sleep
::She can army crawl and roll to get wherever she wants to go
::She is very flexible
::She gets frustrated with crawling sometimes
::She loves to just lay on the floor (or sit) and play with something
::She loves to stand, but cannot pull herself up on her own yet
::She is a great eater...she eats 3 solid meals a day plus 3 formula feedings thoughout the day
::She loves to feed herself
::Her hair is pretty minimal right now...my little baldy
::She loves to play pee-a-boo and she loves to yell at the "kid" in the mirror
::She also can say "momma"
::She is a smiler and giggler
::I love her so much, too. How lucky I feel each and every day!
I don't want to forget about my little man, either. Barrett is so much fun these days. He is talking all the time and saying and doing the funniest things. He loves to build and he will often come over and ask "Mom, build" and he'll take my hand and bring me over to his blocks. I love it that he wants to sit and play with me! I loves to watch his toons and there are still times that he wants to just sit on the couch on my lap and watch. I love those moments. He laughs a lot and helps around the house with things when he can. He is starting to say please and thank you without probing him. He loves to run, wrestle, play with his tools and dinosaurs, and play outside on the big toys. He is definitely all boy, but he is still my sweet little baby. It's incredible watching him grow and change. :) My kids are the best!
