9 months

Just a quick update...

Elsie:
weight - 16lbs. 9oz. (10th %ile) height - 28 1/2" (65%ile)

-started crawling on her knees

-still loves to balance on Daddy's hand

-loves to eat babyfood (she'll eat just about anything and cries when it's Ava turn and she's taking too long. She also cries when the babyfood is gone, she just loves the stuff!)

-loves to say "dada"

-loves to play with others: Carver, Kaydree, Ava...whoever will pay attention to her. She loves to interact, and she gets lonely when she's all by herself.

Ava:

weight - 18 lbs. (30th %ile) height - 29" (90th %ile)

-started pulling up on things

-started waving and becoming more social and talkative

-waves her arm around when she hears music (like she's conducting)

-"sings" when other people are singing, she's loud too!

-started shaking her head NO

-refuses to eat babyfood anymore, she's all about feeding herself table food

Notice the 1 1/2 lbs. difference between the girls. I'm really going to have to start bulking Elsie up: protein shakes, muscle milk, whatever it takes (not really). Ava is using her size to her advantage too, she loves to crawl on top of Elsie. They also love playing peek-a-boo with each other, I catch them doing this all the time. Here are some pics from the last month, and hopefully some video if it will cooperate...
