9 Month Apt.

Ok, so Brock put a small amount of himself in the toy bucket this morning and I did the rest. How cute is this?!?

C did not really like being in his bucket :)

Babies in their buckets :)

Mom- Why did you put me in a bucket?!?

Let me out :)

Well we had a great 9 month appointment today.

Christian weighed 18 pounds, 8 oz and was 27 1/2 inches long. He was on all the regular 9 month charts at 25-40% range. Yeah! He was super cute with our new pediatrician and smiled and coo'ed at her during the exam. His head was rated "excellent" and he passed with flying colors.

Brock weighted 19 pounds, 12 oz and was 28 inches long. (no wonder my back is hurting). He ranked in the 25-50% in all his areas on the regular 9 month chart and was at the 90% for weight for a 7 month old (which is even a month before he should have been born). He was also very charming for the doctor today and she was thrilled at both their progress, development and personalities.

We have been cleared to eat pretty much everything with a few exceptions (fish, milk, peanut butter, egg whites). So, Brandon and I will start feeding them some bit size foods, level 3 baby foods and let them start playing with the spoon. They can also start with sippy cups with juice/water mix and in a month or two we will be cutting out one of their bottles. They are turning into little men before my very eyes.

Brandon and I are exhausted from taking them in today... two 9 month olds in a waiting room is a LARGE chore. They ate all the paper on the exam bed, twice, threw up on a nurse, the floor and all over us and tried to chew on all the stuff on the walls. Yikes!

She also increased our prevacid. The boys both have reflux and although we are eating great, they do some big time spitting up. Hopefully an increase in medication will help cut down on this for both of them (we would love that). I am covered in spit up everyday.

Oh, Christian now has TWO teeth on the bottom! Soooo cute but it hurts when he bites me now :) We will start brushing his teeth when they are a little more visible.

Brandon also had his cancer scan this week and came back clean as a whistle! Yeah!!! How wonderfully blessed are we?!? Thank you lord for two healthy, wonderful and loving babies and a healthy, happy and very much loved husband. We certainly have quite a bit to be thankful for :)
