Ta Ta Toofies

We have teeth galore in my house.

Christopher has his 2 top front teeth and 2 bottom front teeth.  When I picked him yesterday from daycare, my sister in law said she thought she saw another tooth coming in to the left of his front tooth. 

Sure enough, it looks like somethin' is a brewin' in those parts!

Kendall's 2 front bottom teeth popped through the gum over the last week and I think her 2 front teeth are coming in as well.

Could explain her fussiness over the weekend.  Hmmmm, ya think?

The kids have their 9-month check-up this afternoon.  I always look forward to these. 

What can I say?  I love to hear the doctor tell me how absolutely wonderful my children are.

They are, after all, SUPAH STAHRZ!

What can they do, you ask?

Christopher
* Can crawl like nobody's business
* Is able to get up one stair
* Can stand unsupported for about 2-3 seconds
* Can walk/cruise along an object like the sofa or ottoman
* Eats 3 meals per day + 25 ounces of formula
* Says Ma Ma and Da Da but it's still more babbling than anything

Kendall
* Talks all....of....the....time
* Says Ma Ma, Da Da, Ba Ba, Na Na
* Is close to crawling.  She sits unsupported really well and has started to lean forward and transferring weight to her knee
* Loves to pat her belly with both hands
* Has just started a waving motion (as in "bye bye")
* Absolutely loves, loves, loves books

I just adore these kids more and more every day.  They are the center of my world.  I love to see their faces first thing in the morning and I can't wait to pick them up in the afternoons.  They are changing so fast and I don't want to miss a thing. 

Hey!  Come out and play with me!
I didn't do it.
Was that ice cream?!
Christopher did it.
