9 months old!

The girls finally had their nine month checkup last week. They got a great report and only had to get one shot! We are working on making the switch from baby food to table food and from formula to milk. Developmentally, the girls are right on track to where they should be for their real age. I am so proud of them!





Caitlyn weighed 18 lbs, 11 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches long

Caitlyn: Caitlyn is very independent but also a big mama's girl. She is the baby of the group and moves at her own pace. She is very laid back most of the time. She has a great big smile and the cutest little dimples. When she is upset, boy you will know it. She has a big boo hoo cry that will melt my heart in seconds. She is content to play alone and can entertain herself with a toy for hours. Caitlyn loves to play with dolls and loves to eat! This girl will eat anything and everything! She is a sweet baby and will always give you a good cuddle when you need one. Caitlyn has her front two bottom teeth and is getting a tooth on the top. She has the longest hair of the group and it is a beautiful champagne color.



Addyson weighed 17 lbs, 14 oz. and is 25 3/4 inches long

Addyson: Addyson is very strong willed and determined. (I wonder where she gets that from?) She can have the biggest pouty lip but also has the prettiest smile that makes her eyes just twinkle. When it is time to go to sleep, Addyson's crib turns into romper room. She will spend at least 5-10 minutes rolling around, talking, singing, and throwing her stuffed animals around her bed before she goes to sleep. Addyson says Dada and likes to move her hands around and watch them. She also likes to stick out her tongue. Addyson loves music and loves for anyone to sing songs to her. She also loves textures and fabrics. She loves to feel different fabrics and loves buttons, zippers, and fringe. Whenever I give her bottle, she will rub on my shirt almost the entire time. She is finally getting her first tooth and has some hair coming in in the back.



Brooklyn weighed 19 lbs, 1 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches long

Brooklyn: Brooklyn is the ham of the group. She is the typical middle child, aka the overachiever. She has been the first to do almost everything so far. She is like a bull in a china shop, always on the go. If her sisters are playing with a toy, she has to have it. She loves to jump in her bouncer and has a new walker that she also enjoys....anything that keeps her going! She has a very loud high pitched shrill that we say is her singing voice. Brooklyn's hair is starting to get thick on top and is kind of in a little spike right now. It is very cute! Unfortunately, Brooklyn is not much on cuddling. There are very few times when she will stop and let me love on her. She has the cutest little laugh and loves to giggle. She is very ticklish. Brooklyn has her front two bottom teeth. She is the pickiest eater out of the group but is starting to warm up to new things.

Caged In

Well, it was inevitable and after a few escapes over the weekend, we now have a gate to the playroom. All three girls are mobile. Caitlyn began an indian type crawl on Friday. It looks like she might have her own crawling style rather than the inch worm like her sisters. Brooklyn is extremely busy and into everything. When she is on a mission, she doesn't let anything get in her way.....including her sisters! She loves to crawl over them and the funny thing is, they don't seem to mind it. She is also pulling up on things that are low. They have some new "big girl" toys that they can ride now and push once they are up and going....which I am hoping is still a few months away!


Hmmm...this is interesting


If we look cute, will you let us out?

Ready or not, here I come!

Whoop!

Yesterday we had all the fam over to watch the game and cook out. The girls had on their Aggie wear (pink of course) and played with their toys while everyone watched the game. We had a great time!

Mason brought over his doctor kit and gave us all a checkup!


Crawling update: Brooklyn is on the move! The girl does not sit still for a minute. She has earned the nickname "inchworm" because she pretty much uses her upper body to pull her along. It is kind of hard to describe but it gets her anywhere she wants to go. The other girls are not far behind!

Big Girls

The girls have new "big girl" car seats. This afternoon we unloaded them out of the boxes and got them all ready to put into the babymobile. We had the girls try them out before we installed them. I think they really like them and will love having more room on their rides. Their carriers were starting to get quite heavy and pretty cramped!

Caitlyn still unsure about it


Ready for a road trip!


We sure have come a long way! These are some pics of the girls when we brought them home from the hospital six and half months ago and they rode in their infant carriers for the first time. The girls were so small, their carriers seemed to swallow them. We never thought they would outgrow them!

Just being cute......

Its what we do best!

Saturday I got the girls dressed up in new outfits Nana had sent them and new headbands I ordered for them and they went to their first birthday party for their friend Whitney. They had a great time!

Big thanks to the girls at Sweet Daisy Bowtique! We love the headbands!

They didn't get to eat any cake but they did have lunch and got to have their own personal feeder. Its not too often that happens! Thanks Denise!


Brooklyn even got to try out some of Whitney's toys!


It makes me sad because it won't be too much longer and we will be doing this for the girls!

Ready, Set....Crawl!

The race is on and it looks like it won't be long before my little babies will be crawling everywhere. Today Brooklyn got up on her hands and knees and was rocking back and forth. She was quite proud of herself! Addyson is scooting herself around and is slowly getting her knees up under her. Caitlyn seems quite content to roll if she needs to get anywhere but I am sure once her sisters are going she will soon follow. I am really excited to see the girls growing and developing but not sure if I know what I am really in for once they are mobile!






What are you so excited about mommy?


I can do it!

Poor Addyson watched her sister and really wanted to do that too!


This is her pouty face after she got very frustrated


Caitlyn playing with her doll and working on sitting up

A little wobbly but almost got it!


I did it!

Happy Birthday to Whitney!

We wanted to wish our friend Whitney a very happy birthday. We hope you have a great day and are extra nice to your mommy because she may be a little emotional. We can't wait for your party on Saturday!
