We had our 9 month checkup at the pediatrician on Wednesday and here is the results….
Madelyn is 12 lbs 12 oz and 25 3/4 inches long and is finally on the growth chart for her actual age (9 months). She is in the 4th percentile for her height and the 2nd for her head circumference (hc).
Lila is 16 lbs 10 oz and 27 3/4 inches long. She is in the 11th percentile for her weight, 19th for her HC and the 52nd for her height. Looks like she might be long and lean!
Carter is 20 lbs 8 oz and 28 1/4 inches long. He is in the 46 percentile for his weight, 45th for his height and 59th for his HC.
So I was getting ready on Saturday night for a baby shower and Brad was staying home to watch the kids. Brad is constantly moving the gate that I have in front of the dog’s food and water bowl without telling me. I noticed that Lila has what appears to be blood running out from her mouth. It was a redish color and that was all I could think was that she had hit her mouth and was bleeding. As I started to examine the situation I realized that it was not blood but still couldn’t figure out quite what it was and then noticed her chewing so I immediately stuck my figure in her mouth and there it was a red piece a dog food. YUCK…and I didn’t even take the time to see the handfuls that she still had tucked away in her hands. It must taste good b/c since this incident if she get the opportunity to get near the dog bowl she is fast like lightening and grabs handfuls and starts trying to shove the food in!!!
And here is the proof of the curious george…she always got to be where the action is…
And another….no toy is better than the one that someone else has…
Madelyn is getting her first tooth. I felt it first and now you an really see the gums opening up as the tooth starts to push through. Her newest thing is crinkling up her nose and snorting…its so funny. She also has a fake cough. Here she is this morning….
Playing with her stroller
She figure out where daddy works…she is peeking into his office!!!
Carter also has a fake little cough that he thinks is pretty funny…
He gives kisses now. You ask him to give you a kiss and pucker up and then he will open his mouth and lean forward. Its so cute!!! Carter took a one step crawl yesterday…so hopefully he is on his way to being mobile!
Here he is standing up in his crib for the first time
And helping mommy with the laundry
Playtime…they have recently started to really enjoy playing together. When in the right mood they just light up when they see each other and start doing things to make the other laugh. Below is Madelyn and Carter laughing at each other in the mirror. The other four pictures are of Carter and Lila playing. Lila kept making funny faces and noises at Carter and he would laugh out loud for the longest time and then slap his hand down on the floor and then Lila would laugh. They did this for quite sometime….it was so cute!!!
I caught the tail end of their play….
The girls playing
Playdate….we recently had a playdate with the Jenkins triplets…Avery, Colby, and Zach. The babies had a blast and even powered through right passed their nap.
All the toys to play with and the girls wanted to play on the boxes!
We played dress up with Madelyn…she didn’t mind
The whole crew!!!
L-R: Copper (Jenkins Dog), Madelyn, Avery, Lila, Colby, Carter and Zach
and a playdate with Autumn to the park….
More food adventures!!!
We tried eggs for the first time and it sure was a mess…
Lila is always the messiest. She gets it in her hair and in creases and cracks I didn’t know existed. 
Madelyn is right behind Lila except she manges to drop most of her food on her chair that ends up in her diaper and between her legs.
And then there is Carter…Mr. Clean. He never makes a mess b/c he always eats every last bite!!!
I have alot more pictures to come and we are also taking a trip to the children’s museum…so more to come soon!!
