Today the twins are 9 months old.. Only 4 months to go and we will have 1 year olds and it has just flown by. They had their appointment yesterday and they did well. The Doctor was a little worried about their weights so she told me that I need to give them more calories to chunk them up!! So we will work on that in the next month and then we have to go back in for a weight check.
They eat really well and so I was thinking all was going good, but I guess not! She said it could be because they have been sick for months and also they are more active these days. So we will just try and get their weight up. Everything else was good, she said that both of Sawyer's procedure stuff looked great and this was the first time since he was 3 months that she checked his ears and their was no fluid!! That was so nice to finally be able to have that said. They did have to have one shot because at their last appointment they were out of one again, so they had that and they were fine they only cried for a second.
So here is their stats:
Sadie
Weight: 15 lbs 8 oz. ( Yep she is our tiny one)
Height: 26 1/4
Head: 17
Sawyer
Weight: 18 lbs 12 oz.
Height: 28 1/2
Head: 17 3/4
So now we just have to keep them eating a lot more, she told us to give them Mashed Potatoes and put some good amount of butter on them..
Here is what they are doing at 9 months..
Sadie has started crawling, but she only goes back wards and then gets stuck under the chairs and tables and gets mad.. We try and show her how to go forward but she has not done it yet. I am sure it will come to her soon.
She still has no teeth. :)
She laughs and giggles at brother all the time, they have fun playing together
She holds her own bottle really well now, she has for awhile but now she is a pro!
She steals Sawyer's Binky out of his mouth and half the time I am looking for his she always has it in her mouth and it always seems to be the blue one! I don't know why, but we think it is kinda funny.
She smiles so cute and has such a fun personality
Sawyer has also started crawling sort of and he moves sideways and in circles he will scoot himself all the way around in a circle and then scoot forward. He gets up on all fours, but does not really go forward on all fours. But he gets to where he wants to go.
He has 4 teeth and they are sharp! 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, he also has started grinding them and it makes me crazy to hear it. The doctor said it was OK, he is just feeling them since he has to get use to them, but we need to watch it for when he gets older.
He also loves to laugh and play with sister
And can sometimes be found also stealing sisters Binky, I guess he figures if she wants his he will have hers. :)
He also holds his own bottle really well, and that is nice for me now so if I need to be doing something else I can.
He also has a cute smile and is such a sweet little boy, he is our tender hearted boy. If someone else is crying another baby or kid he will also start to cry. Or if he gets told NO, he gets a big pouty face and will start to get tears in his eyes.
We have also noticed now that he has tubes put in that he hears louder sounds and the Hair dryer and Vacuum scare him. Before I think it was kinda muffled for him and now he hears it better so he has to get use to the sounds being louder.
They are both such good babies and sweet hearts and I can't imagine our life with out them. Our lives before them were great and we had fun being just a married couple, but now that we have kids it is wonderful and it is so much fun to be a family of 4 and watch all the fun and cute things they do. Lance always says that when we found out we were having two that he was freaked out, but now he can't imagine not having both of them. They make us laugh everyday and just make us so happy to be their mom and dad!
