they are 9 months old

The babies are 9 months old today. I know its hard to believe. I took pictures today but have not uploaded them yet. Will try to get to it tomorrow. But I thought that I would post some facts about them for right now.

Carter:
  • He never stops moving, not even in sleep. He is all over the place now that he is crawling.
  • He loves to clap his hands.
  • He is pulling himself up on just about anything.
  • He took a few steps tonight, holding onto my fingers. He just recently started standing flatfooted. He was still standing on his toes.
  • He loves to eat, eat, eat. He is not one to stop eating unless he is really tired. Most of the time you have to finally just cut him off. I am talking about food here.
  • He is only taking 2 bottles a day, and he is a slow poke eater.
  • He is my happy baby now. He has kinda changed personalities with Morgan.
  • He doesn't really like baby food in the jars cause his momma has spoiled them and usually makes them all sort of tasty concoctions.
  • He is still really only saying Dada, much to my disappointment. I am ready to hear a momma out of one of their mouths.
  • He has two teeth on the bottom. Oh where, Oh where are your other teeth?
  • He does really well with his sippy cut.
  • He can pick stuff up with his fingers but this is something that Morgan beat him on.

Morgan

  • My little daddy's girl. This girl loves her daddy.
  • She is still frustrated because she can't crawl. But she is trying a little more, she just wants to do it so bad but gets mad so easily.
  • She is scooting more and more.
  • She still only has two teeth on the bottom. Mommy is impatiently waiting for more to come in.
  • She also still really likes to eat but she reaches that point where she will tell you that she is done. What she does is a little different according to who is feeding her. This is when you usually but Carter off.
  • Its funny how is lags behind Carter just a little bit. She is getting closer to clapping her hands but hasn't done it yet. Makes me wonder...is this how things are always going to be with the two of them. Carter being a real go getter and Morgan being the procrastinator? I guess we wait and see.
  • Morgan is also taking 2 bottles a day.
  • Morgan will say dada, Daddy and HI. Again I would like to say that I would love to hear a Momma.
  • She is wearing 12 month clothes.
  • She finally figured out how to drink from a sippy cup.
  • She has gotten really good at picking things up with her fingers.

I know that I am forgetting something for one or both but that is it for now. will post pictures soon. Leave me a comment if you read this please.

All that Jazz...



















I have a favor to ask, will you please leave a comment at the end so I know that someone (other than my cousin Angie) is reading this. Thanks!!






4 years old and starting Preschool!!!








Keagan started preschool today. I would like to know where the time went. How is it that he is old enough to go to school. He going to Grace United Methodist for school. I think that he had a good time. He did really well. I thought that he would have a harder time going into the class but he just went in with his teacher. He is such an amazing little guy. He picked out his outfit and finally got to wear his Pokemon backpack. Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't get to take his Super Mario Bro MarioKart lunch box with him. I can't wait to see how he grows and all that he learns.










She will be crawling around the mountain, sometime in the near future. I hope.





Morgan is so frustrated right now its comical. Its almost as if the babies have traded their personalities. Carter is so happy now that he is moving around and can go where he wants. But poor Morgan can't go anywhere and she lets you know when she has had enough of being left alone. She has finally started scooting around a little. She goes through this vicious cycle... You set her down, she sits for a couple minutes, flops onto her belly, starts to whine until you set her back up. Unfortunately as soon as you set her back up she flops back to her belly again. I will be happy when she finally starts crawling.












If you are happy and you know it clap your hands.













Carter started clapping his hands out of the blue. He is so cute doing it. He will crawl a little, sit up and start clapping. This went on for about 5 days and then, no clapping for over a week. Then yesterday he started clapping. He is just so darn cute.
