9 Month Appointment

Aidric

Lachlan
The Twinners had their 9 month appointment today.  They were declared, "Very healthy" and also "so cute".  The babies did a size flip flop.  Aidric is the top photo.  He weighs 3 oz more and he was 27 3/4" tall.  Lachlan was 28" tall.  He used to be shorter and heavier.  (No, I didn't mix them up.)  This may be a little deceptive because I did nurse Aidric right before he got weighed and he honestly could have had 3 oz or more of milk in him tummy which increased his weight.  Lachlan had to wait to eat until after his check up so he didn't get an increase in time of weighing.  It was also a good visit because they didn't have to get any shots.

In other baby news, Lachlan has FIVE teeth and I think another one is going to pop through in the next few days.  Poor Aidric has no teeth, but he does have more hair.  They both are crawling great and sitting up.  They are learning to feed themselves and frequently try and steal the puffs off each other's tray even if their own is full.  Aidric is starting to pull up on things so he had to have a bed demotion.

Look, I can stand.....kind of.

The man is always trying to keep you down

Lachlan happily crawling.

 Beckett was happy because he got to bring home Pondus, the penguin from school.  He fed him herring, shared his juice, and snuggled with him in bed.  We also played, "Pondus Away" which consisted of throwing Pondus at someone's head while screaming, "Pondus away!" while the other person tried to punch Pondus out of the air.  I'm sure his teacher would have been thrilled.
Are you enjoying your herring, Pondus?
Ciaran is excitedly planning his 3rd birthday party.  The poor kid got the shaft on 1 and 2 so we're going to do 3 up right.  Even though its not until June he loves to talk about how he wants "a dreamlight, and cake and Thomas".

  1. your kids are so cute!! i can't believe they're crawling and 'kind of' standing! that's fun that they get to eat together and steal each other's food...drake's only eating partner is the dog, which i think she enjoys more than he does as the stealing only goes one way.

    beckett and ciaran and getting so big! every kid should get a 'dreamlight and cake and thomas' for their birthday, right?

    love the updates :)

I love Pondus the Penguin...cute idea. And Ciaran is such a cutie! (What is a dream light?) You have a beautiful (and exhausting) family
