The girls are now 9 months old! At their appointment Taya weighed 17lbs 6oz, and Haylen was 17lbs 1oz. It is up for debate, but Haylen might be an inch longer. They are doing good on the growth chart. About the 20th percentile. This means they can get off the super formula. They went to the Blank Developmental Clinic a week earlier and they were pleased with their progress as well. They are doing stuff at about the 7 month level based on that assessment. Taya did have one therapy session that she aced, so she no longer needs therapy.

The girls have mastered sitting and now are working on getting in and out of sitting. They also like to stand at the cube which is full of their toys. Taya is quite a commando crawler. She is pretty fast. Haylen has just figured out how to move forward. They are getting good at eating. Everything has been liked with the exception of peas and bananas. They are interacting with each other more. They hold hands, make each other laugh, take each others toys, and pull one another down.

The girls went to the state fair, another family reunion, a Lake of the Ozark trip, and watched mud volleyball. It has been a fun summer although quite a bit different than those past. Even though we have been boating, our own boat has yet to make it out of the garage!

Check out the dolls in the pics. Yes they are they same ones that were the same size as the girls in the beginning:)

Summer Vacations

The girls have really been traveling around. They went to Cedar Falls, to Newton to a family reunion, to the Quad Cities and the Mississippi River, and Table Rock lake. They are doing ok riding in the car and learning to sleep in the pack N plays. They are pretty funny when checking out their new surroundings. They experienced their first swimming pools, boat rides, met other little family members and entertained all of us of course.

They are 8 months old and continue to do new things. They are rolling like crazy. Eating cereal, applesauce, pears, and sweet potatoes. Haylen is starting to get up on her hands and knees. They are keeping us going for sure. They get big so fast. I think I have said that a million times, but as we were taking their pictures this month with those little doll from the very beginning, we can see that the doll that once was as big as their entire body is now only as big as their heads.
