NINE Months!!!

We love our Marc and James and can't believe they are 9 months old! This evening Billy and I were talking about how much we love our boys and how cute they are. Really we are so blessed and fortunate! Marc we LOVE that you are so curious and inquisitive about everything. That curiosity keeps us on our toes, and we love it! James we LOVE your beautiful smile and your contagious laugh. I think you make everyone smile when you smile and laugh.

At nine months, Marc and James are the same height...they are 28 1/2 inches long which is the 50th%

Marc weighs 19lbs 6 ounces (25th-50th%) and James weighs 18lbs 14.5 ounces (10-25th%)

Marc's head is 17.5 inches in circumference (25th) and James' head is 17 inches in circumference (5th%)

Over the last few months, the boys personalities have really started to come out. Both Marc and James love having their mouths wide open. They often suck on each other or bite each other or their mom! Marc loves to climb up on the treadmill and pulls himself to standing often (it won't be too much longer until he is walking). He crawls very quickly and gets into everything! He crawls over, under, through just about everything. He loves digging through the trash and playing with the scale in mom and dad's bathroom. James is starting to slowly army crawl around the house and loves sitting up! He loves to play with toys and loves to laugh and smile. He is soooo ticklish (he gets that from Billy) and I love tickling him! I have a feeling that James will be a little flirt because at park day on Tuesday, he was sitting by the playground and there were three little girls all circled around him playing with him and trying to feed him Cheetos. Too bad I didn't have a camera!

We are starting to feed the boys transitional foods like yogurt, avocados, pasta, cheese, etc. We are still working on getting the idea of sippy cups and holding their own bottles (can't wait for that!). Currently we have the boys sharing a room with their cribs side by side...this is causing a problem for mom and dad because they love to play with one another when they should be taking a nap or going to sleep for the night. We might end up splitting them up in different rooms! :( The advantage of having them share a room is that when they wake up in the mornings, they end up playing with one another and giving mom an extra few minutes to sleep before getting up! :)

We know we are blessed to have Marc and James in our lives and to be their parents. We know that we have a big responsibility as parents, but we feel so blessed to have such great little boys. We love you boys and are so grateful for all the happiness and joy you bring to us every day!

***Wish I could have included pictures, but I got a virus on our laptop and our desk top keyboard is broken from the move...so this is the best I could do! Happy 9 months boys!!!***

Supercute pictures of them in their high chairs. Too funny. It was fun to see them and their different personalities. It will be fun to see Ali's personality and the differences between her and Katie.
