Gretchen, Gretchen, Mom, Mom, Mommy, Mommy, Ma Ma, Ma Ma…

The kiddos are 9 months old, and what better way to celebrate than to make them sit for photos! The product of a half hour, a  lot of sweat, a little feather duster, and some major team work:

We also had their 9 month check-up at the doctor. Claire is 19.5 lbs and Sam is 16lbs. Claire also has about a inch and a half on Sam…Richard wants to slip some steroids in Sam’s bottle, but I’m sure he’ll grow up just fine on his own. They have both been relatively healthy so far, but the doctor gave us a perscription for numbing ear drops for if/when we get to deal with ear infections. They are also getting pretty good with sitting up and playing together until Sam starts pulling on Claire’s hair because she stole one of his toys. Sam is almost crawling. He can get up and move an inch or two, but then just gets frustrated and buries his head into the carpet. They are also getting a bit more vocal. Claire likes to blow kisses (to people she knows) and they are both enjoying screaming at the top of their lungs…for no reason…non-stop…at all hours (sorry Mom an Dad). They are also starting in with the “Ma Ma”. I have a feeling this will be what’s in store for me…only times 2. Oh dear…

Now that I think about it, I better start teaching them how to say “Da Da”.
