Update On The Girls: 9 Months

Oh my, these girls are too funny and too fun!

Adelyn at 9 Months:


Emery at 9 Months:


Some facts from the girls ninth month of life:
-Wearing 12-18 month clothes.
-Mainly wearing cloth diapers with no snap. In disposables, they are wearing a size 4 diaper.
-Eating 4 times per day. They eat solids for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They eat anything that we eat, just cut into little pieces. They also take a 6 ounce bottles 4 times per day.
-They are sleeping in their cribs at night and for naps. They sleep 7pm-7am. They are taking 2 naps per day.


Random things we don't want to forget:
-We have crawlers! Emery crawls 'normally' and fast. Adelyn uses more of a belly flop/ bounce technique, which looks as funny as it sounds.
-The girls can pull up on us or things lower to the ground. We are human jungle gyms.
-Both girls LOVE Benton, and have really started interacting with him. If he makes a high pitched noise, they will try to repeat it right back to him, and then they all laugh. They also crawl after him and try to play with all of his toys.
-Both girls now have 4 teeth. This month, Adelyn got her top 2 teeth, and Emery got her other top tooth.
-We no longer use the changing table for diaper changes, as the girls are strong and determined rollers. They are now changed on the floor with their hips pinned so they can't roll.
-Adelyn is currently in 'bow training.' As soon as we put a bow on her head, she reaches up and rips it off. Each time she takes the bow off, we put it right back on. This usually works after 3-4 times.
-They celebrated their first Easter by going to church at Crossings an then joining the extended family at Grammy and Champs. It was a perfect day, and the girls looked beautiful
-Adelyn is also in 'bib training.' She takes her bib off within seconds of us putting it on her. She then flings it arounds and bites it. Too funny.
-The girls are bathing in the big girl bath tub now. They both love to play with cups and they love to splash. Bath time is much easier now!
-They love riding in the wagon with Benton! He is so sweet for sharing.
-They both pretty much hate the jumperoo now. It's about time to pack up the jumperoos and put them in the attic.
-They enjoy going on walks, but if we walk as a family in the evening, Adelyn fusses until we hold her.
