Eden and Everly are 9 months old today! Wow! I am kind of surprised I have survived this long! We got them a new chair for their room, and it is actually a chair and a half so it is much bigger so all of us can sit together. From now on I'll be taking their pictures in this chair instead of Ellasen's chair. Getting a good photo is starting to get more and more difficult. Everly immediately tries to get away, and when I set the camera down to readjust her Eden reaches out and grabs the camera and puts it in her mouth. By the time I get the camera away from Eden Everly has started getting away again. This happened 15 times just to get this little gem.
We had a rough couple of weeks while we were transitioning to the new house, but now that we have been here for a while things are great! We accomplished both of our goals for the month. The twins are totally unswaddled for all naps and at night, and both have dropped their "dream" feed at 10 PM. Everly dropped hers right under the deadline just a few days ago. Both girls are growing and changing all the time. They are really noticing each other a lot now. They always like to touch and see each other. They smile when the other one talks or sneezes. They pass toys back and forth play pretty nicely together. They are so much fun, and they make us laugh every day! Our goals for this month are to introduce lots of "solid" foods. They have had avocado, hard boiled eggs, and banana so far, but we are excited to add more this month.
Here are some things we notice about the twins:
Both girls:
*Wear size 3 diapers
*Nurse 4 times a day ( 7, 11, 3, 7)
*Eat solids 3 times a day (8,12,4:30)
*Nap twice a day ( 9-11, 1-3)
*Have two teeth (bottom middle)
*Love Ellasen
*Love bath time
*Love to swim in the pool
*Love to play with anything that isn't a toy (spoons, dog tails, straws, etc)
*Have tasted a few non baby foods
*Can say Mama and Dada
*Can put their own pacifiers back in
