- They are both crawling all over the place...I am tired from chasing twins around the house all day. Well actaully not really because we installed some gates to contain them to the living room...thank goodness or I really would be chasing them all over the house all day long. They dont stay in one place long
- They are pulling up and walking along the furniture and they stand every chance they get...they pull up on any and everything
- We have added macorni and cheese, spinach, and many more finger foods to their diet. To this day the only things I cannot get them to eat are avocados and bananas. They will eat asparagus but not bananas (hmmm, starting to wonder if they are really my kids LOL)
- Evan is saying dada all day long...so he is not saying w/ purpose but he is saying it. Taryn is saying dada and mama but again w/o purpose...they just say it to say it...cant wait until the word assocaiation comes into play.
- They are finally on the charts at their 9 months appointment Evan and Taryn finally made it on the growth charts...it took a lot of persistance and work to ensure they were eating enough during the day but it was well worth it.
Evan: Head: 25th%, Weight 5th%, Height 10th%, and Weight for Height 25th%
Taryn: Head: 50th%, Weight 12th%, Height 25th% and Weight for Height 50th%
We obviously still have some work to do espeically w/ Evan but we are making progress. Evan is actually heavier and taller then Taryn but becasue they are boy/girl they are measured on different charts...so although it appears Taryn is doing better, Evan is still bigger.
I believe that is pretty much it for now...so until next time
Hugs to all

cute cute cute! enought said =)
What gorgeous eyes, look out, you're in trouble with those peepers! Here's something else that may be of interest to you Gena (& Chad). The growth charts the pediatrician uses are based on a the typical growth of a formula fed baby in the US. However, breast fed babies grow at a different rate than formula babies, so tata feeders often start looking like they're falling off the charts when they get near the one year mark. However, if you look at the WHO growth charts, you will see they're actually much "better" than you think. I know this because the ped just got in my chilies a bit about Libby not weighing enough. Argh! So I'll take whatever weight gainer tips you have, though I'm less concerned now that I compared apples to apples with the WHO charts. Miss you!
