Fun Day

After a fun, long weekend in Atlanta we were all happy to be home today. We had a great day together and Kate and Wright were so much fun! They really enjoyed their new musical table! Kate has started to pull up as well so I added the legs to see how they would do. See video below. This is one of many great videos that reflect their fun personalities. You can see that Wright reaches for her pacifier and then decides that the toy is still more interesting.

We are in recovery mode from our first ear infections. It started out as a virus with some congestion that drained into their ears. Wright was diagnosed last Tuesday and started medicine and Kate was diagnosed on Thursday. Needless to say, last week was very busy with two little ones that weren't feeling well! They were troopers though..they take their medicine well! Wright weighed 21 lbs. 10 oz and Kate 17 lbs 13 oz...We knew he was heavier but I didn't think almost 4 lbs! I can not believe they are almost 9 months..we have our check up in a few weeks.

We have moved them from their carriers which is sad for me because they are growing up so quickly. Wright is especially happy to be in the larger car seat. They are still rear facing, but have much more room.

Kate has started talking and has the sweetest voice. She isn't saying much but I hear an occasional mama-mama-ma. Will and I think Wright says, "Hey" and "Baba" for bottle along with dadada and other sweet noises. He seems to move around faster every day crawling on all 4's and pulling up on anything and putting everything in his mouth. Kate started crawling today! She has been army crawling for the past week or so, but tonight crawled on all 4's. We are so proud of them!

They are also eating so well and so much! I continue to make their food which has been a great experience! They love their veggies and have started some self feeding. Kate is especially interested in feeding herself. Wright just wants to eat! Kate likes bananas cut up..kind of, but doesn't care for them mushed with oatmeal. She loves most veggies, pears and peaches. Wright really likes anything we put in front of him. They love crushed ice or frozen fruit in their nibblers. That is always a fun afternoon treat!
