Kid Updates

So let's see it's been a while since I've been here to blog.. life has been extremely complicated so I'm not going into it here right now... but for this post at least I'm going to focus on my girls and how they are doing and what they are currently up to.

We had our 9 month appt on Feb 19th and the girls are healthy as anything. Anna weighed in at exactly 19 pounds and Lily weighed in at 18 pounds 9 ounces. They have definitely grown since the 6 month appt back in November. Thankfully at the 9 month appt we had no shots at all so the girls were in a good mood before and after the appt.

Anna has some huge milestones to report. She can crawl, she can pull herself to standing, is starting to cruise the furniture and is no longer eating baby food. She is now a table food eater. She truly enjoys eating real food. She also is starting to sprout some teeth. I finally saw one coming through on the top. So we might be up to 3 teeth for her with maybe 3 more on the way. Anna is starting to talk, just the other day she added the word Mama to her repertoire. This is in addition to Dada and a really exaggerated Ok.

Lily is working on the crawling thing still. She is starting to go backwards. She'll get it eventually. She has joined Anna in the revolt of all things Baby Food related. Though she hasn't figured out that it means that she has to eat real food and not just her bottles of formula. We've recently learned that if you don't look at her while she's eating that she might actually eat something that you put in front of her. She's also starting to fight back when Anna takes toys from her now. Go baby go. Lily is starting to talk a little bit too. Not as much as Anna but she's making her needs known. Thank goodness I am doing Baby Signs with both of the girls. It's been so helpful to know what the girls need and want.
