9 Month Checkup

Waiting patiently for the doctor!

Noah is 21.13 pounds and 27 1/2 inches

Dylan is 22.13 pounds and 29 inches

Mason at 9 months was 22.9 pounds and 29 1/4 inches and he was born 5 pounds more than each of the twins! The twins are big boys!

These babies are growing so fast. Noah is talking up a storm. He says mama, dada, baba, wawa, and so much more. He constantly has something to say. Dylan talks as well, but not as much. He is selective with his speaking, but it is so sweet and gentle. Noah continues to army crawl, while Dylan is officially a knee crawler. Noah copies everything. He tries to snap his fingers, mimicks sounds with his mouth, and does the sign language for the words no more. Dylan can sign for the word more, especially when puffs are involved. Their favorite toy is this dragon that bounces balls everywhere. They can play with this toy and never get bored. They both have an obsession with necklaces. Dylan gets excited and wants to rip it off the person's neck, while Noah is very gentle and wants to examine it closely and carefully.

Both boys despise my cooking. I went to Trader Joe's and bought all organic vegetables and chicken. I spent an entire afternoon cooking them chicken soup and green beans. I was so excited to give them a home cooked meal and save money from buying baby food. Mason and Marc sampled it and really enjoyed it. I put the soup in the blender and proceeded to feed Dylan. He made a few funny faces, but I figured he was getting used to it. After five bites, the kid was miserable, so I stopped trying and moved on to Noah. Noah was even more miserable! He literally gagged himself and tried to throw up! After a few more tries, it was clear these boys hated my cooking. Thank goodness for Earth's Best because my twins only prefer gross jarred food. At least the other boys in my house enjoy my cooking!

We are enjoying this stage with our boys very much. Even more now since they are great sleepers. They go to bed around 8:30 and sleep 11 to 12 hours. And they take great naps during the day. Now that we are sleeping through the night, we are no longer zombies throughout the day. I almost forgot what those first few months were like. Marc probably does not agree! We look forward to the many more milestones that they will reach, but as of now, we are loving each moment with these boys.
