9 months old!

So it's been a whole 9 months since Madilyn and Carter made their debut into this world, and we are so happy they did! I am so thankful they are happy and healthy babies!

At 9 months, here's what they are up to:

Madilyn:

Height: 27.38" (43%)

Weight: 18 lbs 4.6 oz (40%)

Head Circumference: 17.99" (90%)

*Still likes to make circles around the gate that we have, and she especially likes it when she can chase Carter around! 

*Madilyn has started to pull up on the gate -- AND sticks her little feet in the holes of the gate. This is not a good thing, y'all. She's quickly learning how to escape! :\

*Likes taking baths, and really likes getting everything ready for her bath. She likes helping Mommy get the water started. It's the getting out and getting dressed part that she really isn't a fan of.

*In the past two weeks or so, Madilyn has become a great eater for us. Thank GOODNESS! It only took us a few months, but she finally has the hang of it! 

*While Madilyn has become a good eater, unfortunately she is not a great sleeper. She tends to wake up at least once a night (if not more) but thankfully she goes to sleep pretty quickly.
*Madilyn's newest thing she likes to do is stand up with a toy while holding onto the gate, and drop it over the side so that the toys are on the outside... 

Carter:

Height: 29.13 (79%)

Weight: 19 lbs 4.8 oz (29%)

Head Circumference: 17.99 (62%)

*Carter usually sleeps really well for us, and goes down easy for naps and bedtime. 

*Carter really likes having Mommy or Daddy inside the gate because he loves to climb all over us!

*He has become an expert crawler and can move pretty quickly -- probably because Madilyn is always chasing him! 

*He is also pulling up to stand using the gate - although he is still not as quick as Madilyn!

Both:

*They both enjoy playing with their toys, but they also like throwing them around and on the ground - especially when they are in their high chairs.

*They both get really excited when it is snack time and you shake the container of the cheerio type snacks. I think it's one of their favorite sounds because they know what is in it!

*They are both loving toys that make noise and light up -- but they also are still really loving putting things into buckets and then taking them out.
*Both babies really love the kitty cats, and have been paying more attention to them. They both get excited when the get to pet the kitties, but that doesn't always last long!
*At the doctor's office, they both did really well with their shots -- which made Mommy very happy because that is the least favorite part of the visit!
