Yesterday the girls were 9 months old. They are just way too big. I am not sure what they weigh now but we go tomorrow for their 9 month check up and shots. I am thinking Lexyn is heavier than Brittyn. She is the eater, that's for sure. She likes to eat her baby food. They both are finally doing pretty good with that after a long messy battle with Brittyn. They are still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but we have started wearing a few 3-6 month sleepers. They have step up in the shoe size and now wear size 1 shoes instead of newborn. They are also still wearing size one diapers. The girls new thing is they LOVE bath time. They take a bath together and love to chew on a rubber ducky and splash with their legs and arms.
Lexyn is still not sitting up but she was evaluated yesterday by an occupational therapist and will soon be evaluated by a physical therapist. We don't know if she qualifies for occupational therapy yet but her developmental therapist feels she needs the additional help. She did start the G.I. Joe crawl over the weekend, but we call it the wounded soldier crawl because since her left arm and shoulder muscles are real tight that arm gets stuck under her body and so she just uses the right arm and the right leg to crawl/scoot. It is really funny to watch. She doesn't last long doing it but then she goes right back to her rolling to get where she wants. She still loves to "bouncy bouncy bouncy" in the jumperoo. She has also taken a step ahead of sister and began talking. She says "dadadada" and "bababababa". She has the softest sweet voice when she is talking, but she is also the extremely loud high pitch squealer. Her sequels will hurt your ears they are so loud.
Brittyn is EVERYWHERE!!!!! She is crawling like a pro, and just a few days after she mastered the big girl crawl she began pulling up. She pulls up on everything. She is also scooting her bumbo chair around on the hardwood floor. She thinks she can walk because she will pull up on something and then let go and try to move her feet. She very quickly falls to the floor. As you can see from the pictures, her forehead is getting the best of a lot of the falls. When she falls and hurts herself she cries really loud and hard, but she doesn't really want consoled and cuddled she just wants to cry for a minute and then get right back after it! She is a mess, and very independent. She plays very well by herself except now that she can crawl she likes to crawl over to you when you sit in the floor to play and pull up on your leg. She is still taking mainly 4 ounce bottles but does usually take at least one 5 ounce bottle a day, but we are up to taking baby food for lunch and dinner.
The girls have also started playing together. I do have to say that Brittyn is a toy thief, but sometimes she will just join in and play instead of taking the toy from Lexyn. They really are cute and fun to watch interact together.
One last thing, we are experimenting with bows. Do you think this bow is too big? I think big bows are so cute, but daddy keeps laughing at them!

No, the bows aren't too big. Have you seen the big, cute bows Kelly puts on Harper? Your girls look bigger than 0-3 months clothes in the pictures.
I am NOT a bow expert since I have boys, but I've NEVER seen a bow too big! ;)
I thought they were bigger too, pictures can be decieving. The cuteness is NOT deceiving though! They are such precious angels! Blessings!
