9 Months Old

Luke and Madison turned 9 months old on January 30th! They are growing so fast and learning so many new things. We had our 9 month appointment this past week and here are their stats :)

Luke

Weight- 18.6 pounds (18th percentile)

Height- 28 3/4 inches (66th percentile)

Head- 18.7 inches (95th percentile) All those brains :)

Madison

Weight- 16.7 pounds (13th percentile)

Height- 28 inches (64th percentile)

Head- 17.1 inches (34th percentile)

All other reports were great! They are ready to start meat and try more table food! Luke still only has 2 teeth and Madison doesn't have any yet. It made me feel better when our doctor told us that his daughter didn't get teeth until she was 13 months old!

We do have one prayer request...Luke's abdomen seems to stick out a little more on one side. A while ago we did blood work to check his liver and the tests turned out normal. Our doctor's hoped it would straighten out by now but he still favors one side (it is not that bad but we notice it). It seems like when he lays down his body just makes a little curve. He wants us to get an ultrasound just to check it out. He didn't seem worried because he said if it were anything it would have shown up on his newborn screening. I am not sure when we will do that but if you will just say a prayer that everything will be fine we would really appreciate it!

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to lately :) Enjoy!

Daddy is their jungle gym when he gets home from work (looks like a pj day)

Poor Luke is Madison's gym when Daddy is not here. We are working on the pulling hair thing!

You can see how excited she gets when she plays with her brother! She thinks it is so funny and giggles the whole time. She acts like she is wrestling him! She will roll over him and then come back and roll over him the other way. Very funny to watch! I have it on video! Also, as you can tell, Luke doesn't think it is quit as funny. This is his 'mommy help me' face :)

Madison found the freezer! I pulled something out turned around and when I turned back there she was! Go figure a little girl from our family would go for the rolls :)

Two of Daddy's favorite things all in one bag!

Luke loves books! He kicks his legs and arms like crazy when we read to him! It is so cute!

Luke and Madison's favorite spot when it gets late! They love to lay back on Daddy and relax. Look at that tummy! Horizontal stripes are not very slimming :)

They love to play together now! Whenever Luke is in the jump jump or exersaucer Madison loves to crawl up on it and play with him. Luke doesn't seem to mind as you can tell.

Rock n' Roll Maddie

We have slowly opened Christmas presents and his week we opened our Lion walker/rider. They LOVE it! They both love to ride around the house (which breaks your back!) and they both love to push it as the lion sings.

Madison never really liked the swing when she was little so I had not put her in it in forever. I tried it again and she loved it...well, she loves to sit in it sideways and then she likes to hang off the side and look at the floor while she swings. It makes me dizzy just watching her. As you can tell her other favorite thing is to drop whatever toy I give her on the floor! Silly girl!

Those eye lashes!

Rubber Ducky, your the one!

Clean baby smells SO good!
