9 Months!

Madison & Macey are 9 months old! It has flown by and they are getting more and more fun each day.

Madison is army crawling like crazy. She loves following Macey around and they think it's funny when they chase each other. She likes crawling on top of Macey, taking her toys away from her. She gives high-fives and loves giving kisses, especially to Mommy, Daddy, Macey, herself in a mirror, and baby cousin Brady. She pulls up in her crib. She is still very attached to Mommy & Daddy. She is eating mostly table food and puts anything she picks up into her mouth.

Macey is also army crawling like crazy and is very fast. She pulls up on whatever she can and loves to walk holding your fingers. She loves to wrestle with sister, and talks nonstop. She loves laughing and will also give kisses. She also eats table food but prefers her baby food still at times. She can drink pretty well out of a sippy cup. She has become very attached to Mommy & Daddy.

Are you over there, sister?

Really mad about it

I was going through their clothes trying to pack up what didn't fit anymore, I don't think these toboggins will work this winter.

"Sister, there's something on your head."

Pulling Up

Well, they finally hit a milestone on the same day. They both pulled up this morning, and in typical fashion of their personalities, Madison was desperately trying to get herself out of bed, and Macey was playing. Madison has been crawling a lot more this week so let the fun begin!

Wrestling--Macey is on top

Macey loves pulling everything off this table

Hmmm, bottle or passy?

I finally did it, Mom!

Now, I've just got to learn how to get down

Macey wondering what's going on

Pulled up --get me out of here!

Hey, I'm standing up!

I thought it was summer!

I thought it was supposed to be hot in July & your kids didn't get sick. Well, I guess not this summer. The weather has been fabulous, but our girls can't seem to get well. That's why I haven't had time to update the blog lately. Madison got a virus first about a month ago, then Macey got it, a much worse case, and we've been trying to beef her back up ever since. Now all three of us girls have colds...I don't know what the deal is, but I'm ready for us all to be well again. Anyways, the colds aren't affecting their moods quite like the virus at least. Jeff & I did get to get away for his cousins wedding in Dallas. It was hard leaving the girls, but it was nice to get some sleep since they haven't been sleeping well with all the sickness.

They have hit a few more milestones. Macey got her first two teeth while she was sick--the double whammy was NOT fun to deal with. She is also trying to follow me everywhere--she's getting pretty fast at crawling and loves to climb up me if I'm sitting on the floor with them. Madison has learned to put herself into the sitting position from her belly & likes going back & forth. She can belly-crawl, but still doesn't do much of it. She has also gotten good at feeding herself, and would eat Puffs, Cheerios or Mum-Mums all day if I let her. It's been very interesting how they have gone in different orders of learning to do things making each of them know how to do things the other one hasn't mastered yet.
