3 months until we get to celebrate a twin birthday! I am so excited for them to turn 1 year and know that I survived. I may not have been an easy year, and I may have been on my own for a good portion of it, but I survived!
Pictures this month were so difficult! The girls just wouldn’t hold still, and the sticker didn’t show up well at all.
I love that the girls have started interacting with each other more this month. They get concerned when the other one is crying and Courtney even tried to save Alexis from falling out of the swing outside. The more mobile they get, the more fun it is to have two babies….inside the house that is! Going out is getting a little more difficult, but being able to wear one of them on my back while out is a life saver.
They had their 9 month check up and were lucky enough that this was one with no shots! Their weights are still just about a pound different. Courtney was 16 lbs 14.5 oz and 27 1/4” tall and Alexis was 18 lbs and 27” tall
Both girls have graduated from being belly slitherers to crawlers this month! They both crawled for real out on the grass at first, but have figured out that it’s faster inside too. Alexis still prefers scooting for the most part, but I am sure she will be up and crawling soon. Courtney is getting FAST! I love watching her explore.
Courtney:
This girl has also found her voice! She has started babbling, saying ba ba, da da, la la, and ma ma!! She uses dada pretty much to always mean Dad, but mama still seems to be what comes out when she is upset….so I don’t know if she specifically means me, or just wants someone to save her. She wants so badly to be up and walking! She is standing up against the couch and starting to cruise along it. When she falls she naturally sits, which is so much better than when Kaylee would fall stiff as a board backwards! With Courtney’s new skill of crawling has come a huge sense of independence. She will spend many days playing on her own and only coming to me for food or if she gets hurt.
Alexis:
We are still struggling with Alexis being so clingy and having such bad separation anxiety. She has certain people that she likes, but most people have to be around her for a LONG time before they can touch her, let alone hold her. She has also been talking, but not actual word sounds yet. She does this amazingly adorable coo talking thing when she is super content and happy.
I can’t believe these babies are growing so fast!
