9 months

This last month we've had our first bout with stomach flu and chest colds, trying new foods, possibly teething, pulling up, cruising on the furniture, playing peek-a-boo, clapping and definitely being BUSY!

They love dumping things out, the louder the better! 

Sawyer is in the pink/animals, Rylee is in the white/flowers

Sawyer had to resort to drastic measures one naptime

At their 9 month doctor's appointment everything went well.  The doctor did say "well, they aren't the biggest kiddos, but they are staying on their curve" meaning they are growing at a steady rate, just like they should! 

Rylee is now up to 18lbs 7oz (50th percentile) and 27inches long (25th percentile).  Doc couldn't hear her murmur, which is a great sign, but he wasn't willing to say it had healed completely.  Sawyer is 17lbs 12oz (30th percentile) and 26 1/2 inches (15th percentile).  That means when we're packing both of them around we are up to 35lbs!  Sawyer's hernia continues to improve and it's looking like she won't have to have surgery when she reaches 1 year.  The best part is that she will probably always have a little bit of an "outie" belly button...thank goodness for little blessings.  We've already had to resort to that belly button and I'm sure we will again!

Overall, things are great and we are truly blessed.  I can't believe they are 9 months old and how fast that first birthday milestone is approaching...wow!
