Movin' and Groovin'

The twins turned 9 months a few weeks ago and boy oh boy do they have a lot going on. Butter is quite the little mover. He now can crawl faster than anything I have ever seen, pulls himself up on anything and everything, "cruises" around and between furniture, climbs the stairs like a champ (all the while laughing and giggling), and walks while pushing a toy or holding your hands. He is everywhere and into everything!

Crawling up Momma's leg

Peanut is not so advanced. He is still struggling to learn to crawl, but can roll like a champ and to anything he wants. In the last few weeks he has started doing a strange rolly army crawl type thing when he really wants to reach something. Anything else he will just roll too.

The boys are working on eating table food, something that Peanut is much better at than Butter! Mostly anything chunky or to textured Butter will spit right out. Peanut is a little piggy and shoves it all in his mouth. He has 2 teeth (working on more!) and Butter still has none (although I am pretty sure we are working on one!). Peanut has really caught up size wise and now weighs more than Butter. I am looking forward to their 9 month appointment tomorrow to see the difference in their weight, their differences in every other way are so apparent!

Yummy!

We had quite the bout with illness at our house a few weeks ago. Peanut and Butter both got Hand, Foot, and Mouth from daycare and Doodle had some unknown virus. No sooner were the twins back at Daycare than they got sent home one after another with Strep. The doctor said it was a secondary illness related to the Hand, Foot, and Mouth. 2 weeks and a couple days later and everyone was back on track just in time for a 4th of July trip to Grandpa's cabin.

River Rats!

 Fishing with Grandpa Doug



First Fish

We had a ton of fun! Doodle got to ride a jet ski for the first time ever with his Grandpa. We swam and ate too much food and boated. At the end of the trip we stopped at Arlene's family sand pit and walked to the river. The kids had tons of fun splashing and eating river mud (yuck!). Doodle also got to fish and caught his first fish (and several more)!

Doodle also had another first. He went to the Dentist. He was a total rock star and sat by himself, did exactly what he was told, and had no cavities. He has been pretty proud of his clean teeth and the ball he got to choose from the treasure box.
