NINTH MONTH PHOTOSHOOT

MAC at NINE MONTHS

* Has started clapping her hands

* Loves it sniff/snort - hence the pictures

* Does NOT like veggies 

and will hardly open her mouth for them 

and will sometimes NOT open her mouth 

when she knows/thinks I am feeding her veggies.

* Loves fruit

* LOVES baby yoghurt. 

* Has started weaning off her bottle 

and does pretty well with the sippy cup

* Will let everyone and anyone hold her 

and she acts like she's known them forever

* Loves her binky

* Shakes her wrists when she wants something.

* Has started arching her back 

when we put her in her car seat or stroller. 

But once in she is fine. 

* Goes to bed around 7:30pm. 

Wakes for a bottle between 6-6:30am 

Goes back down and

wakes for the day between 7-7:45am.

* Puts herself to sleep with a blanket 

and the beloved binky.

* Moves like crazy while she sleeps.

* Very sensitive to texture and 

thinks she is choking if the smallest 

piece of food is in her mouth.

* Loves teether biscuits - 

but mom & dad watch her like a hawk

in case a piece breaks off in her mouth. 

AKC at NINE MONTHS

* Loves to clap his hands

* Loves all food. Not a picky eater at all

* Has started weaning off his bottle 

and does pretty well with the sippy cup

* Would prefer to have mom or dad hold him

but he sure loves interacting with others

while we are holding him. 

* Only interested in a binky when he is tired. 

* Has started licking/smacking his lips. 

* Still arches his back 

when we put him in her car seat or stroller. 

But once in she is fine. 

* Goes to bed around 7:30pm. 

Wakes for a bottle between 5-5:30am 

Goes back down and

wakes for the day between 7-7:45am.

* Puts himself to sleep with a blanket 

and the beloved binky.

*Has finally started to roll over. 

* Loves cheerios and any other baby cracker. 

* Loves teether biscuits - 

but mom & dad watch him like a hawk

in case a piece breaks off in her mouth. 

* Loves anything and everything 

that Mallory picks up to play with. 

Happy Valentine Week

seeing as we are a day late ;-)

 

Accessories...

Andrew has a new accessory.

A TOT collar

He likes to hold his head to the side.

He thinks he'll get a better view that way ;-)

We have a fabulous PT who stretches his neck muscle

but mainly just loves him!

 T.o.r.t.i.c.o.l.l.i.s  

is the 3rd most common diagnosis for pediatricians

and it's very common in multiples.

Given the position of his head 

for the last part of my pregnancy, 

I am not surprised the little boys head isn't straight ;-)

Good thing he is so dang cute and can pull it off. 

Another interesting thing.

There were 4 babies in our ward 

(including the twins) 

born in May-June 2010

Mallory is the only one who does not have

 T.o.r.t.i.c.o.l.l.i.s

Sunday Best

Mallory would like to thank her cousin Livvy for her beautiful dress!

Picasa rediscovered = Picture OVERLOAD...

First Visit with Santa (AKA Father Christmas)

1st visit was a success.

I am not that hopeful for the 2nd ;-)

2011

We hope you have a fabulous 2011

Many pictures later I still did not have one where 

BOTH babies were looking at me at the SAME time

But I did have a few where neither 

were looking or smiling at the same time.

Oh well, at least they have the half blinking look down - together ;-) 

Baby Shower Post - 7 months later!

Seeing as I decided to increase my blood pressure

 and decrease the amount of platelets in my body

AND

Seeing as the babies decided they'd prefer to living in the NICU 

for the first 3 weeks of their lives...

My baby shower was AFTER they were born.

None the less it was fabulous!

The babies making their debut at 'their' shower

 Definitely MY kind of bag!

Thanks to my good friends and lovely hosts 

Amber & Sarah for putting it all together.

PS: Thanks to Lindsey H. for the fabulous pictures!

Lincoln's Mom

This is Lincoln's Mom, Kim.

And she is one amazing women

and a FABULOUS mom.

Little Lincoln has had a rough few months 

but she has dealt with it all 

with so much faith and optimism.

And has been an inspiration to so many.

And through it all 

she has looked beautiful and put together 

every single day ;-)

Future Friends

I always hope that my friends babies and my babies will be the best of friends one day.

I hope that they will tell people they have been friends from the time they were born 

because their moms (or dads) were friends.

I hope Andrew & Mallory will love Lincoln 

as much as I love his mom.

And I hope that they knew each other in heaven, 

before they came to be our babies

Loving Lincoln

This is Mr. Lincoln

And he is a MIRACLE

We've waited too many months to meet him and we finally had the pleasure.

Andy loved him.

I secretly think he had a mancrush on Andy though

He was loving Andy and could not stop smiling at him.
