Kennedy

Kennedy made it to the top of the steps! Uh-oh...we're in trouble now!!!

9 months!

I can't believe the girls are 9 months old. It's going way too fast!!! They had their 9 month check-ups and are doing great! Both girls weigh 15lbs 6oz and are only in the 4th percentile for weight. Kennedy is 27.5 inches long (50th percentile)and Ava is 25.5 inches long (3rd percentile). Basically, Ava is just really tiny and Kennedy is tall and skinny! They are both into everything and are becoming hard to keep up with. Ava is just as fast as Kennedy now and equally curious about everything around her. They've knocked just about everything over that is in their reach and are not liking being told no. They love to pull themselves up to a standing position and Kennedy has even attempted to stand without holding onto anything. She lasts a few seconds, then falls and looks at us like we were supposed to stop that from happening! They both like table food so far, although Ava is more picky than Kennedy. They're both going through a mommy phase right now. I think they've really gotten used to me being home every day with them and they're becoming quite attached. Letting them cry has been hard, but I know it's the right thing to do if I want them to be healthy, independent little girls!
Jon and I are leaving for Chicago in a week and we're dreading it and looking forward to it at the same time. We've only left the girls once overnight and we came back the next day. We'll be gone for 3 nights this time so I know we'll miss them like crazy! BUT, the trip is much needed and should be a lot of fun!!!

Woo Hoo!

Finally, finally, finally Ava is crawling!!! Thank you God!!! She was beginning to get so frustrated and was getting more and more difficult to make happy! YAHOO!!!!
