9 Months

I want the next 3 months to go by so slowly. They are just growing up so fast. And if I thought I was busy before, oh no, I'm busy now! So many twin moms I meet tell me it gets easier! I just don't know how that's possible. But the trade off for the busy days is how much fun they are at this age. They giggle and laugh all the time. They are really starting to play and enjoy each other, which is so fun to watch.

At their 9 month checkup, Caroline weighed 15 lbs. and Charlotte weighed 15 lbs. 2 oz. Caroline is 26 inches and Charlotte is 26 1/2. So they are still pretty much the same size. Andrew is worried that they are so small but the doctor reassured him they are growing good and will more than likely just be little petite things.

We used to think Charlotte was a shy little girl but she has really come out of her shell this past month. Now at story time and play groups, she will crawl away and play like Caroline. We just started a music class last week and they love it!

Caroline just got her first tooth, on the bottom. Charlotte has one barely coming in on the top. At 9 months they love:
-crawling all over the place
-pulling themselves to their feet and taking steps while holding on to stuff
-being tickled
-hair dryer
-eating...anything
-swings
-music
-anything electronic (especially Charlotte)

What they don't love so much:
-nap time
hmmm...I guess that's about it
