The girls had their nine month (OMG!) check up this week. Both girls are climbing up the growth charts and their MD was very happy…

Ava’s stats:
Weight 17lb 12oz (45th percentile)
Length 28″ (65th percentile)
Head 17 1/2″ (65th percentile)

Emilie’s stats
Weight 17lb (23th percentile)
Length 27″ (26th percentile)
Head 16 3/4″ (24th percentile)

On another note, the MD we saw (our normal MD was on maternity leave) recommended I feed my children Wonder Bread, white potatoes, rice (none of which has any nutritional value), and whole eggs (not recommended until 12mo). And he suggested we use baby powder (which is also not recommended because of the talc)… I will be glad when we find a new MD closer to the new house…

Well… in the G-Rated sense… the new hardwood flooring for our new house just started to be installed today… after a week delay and many sleepless nights…

Yeah, for wood!!

Rhino is not only the color of our new bedroom but it is the permanent look of my children. We have entered the “goose egg” stage where both kids have constant bumps on their foreheads… they look like baby rhinos…

Emilie is really on the move lately. Her latest accomplishment is that she can make it to the cat food dish in one minute flat. Ava is starting to crawl with skill now but is really frustrated by her slow speed. Mostly, she is happy on her tummy reading a book… sounds like her daddy.

As Steph mentioned, Emilie is really getting around the house now.  This video doesn’t really show it off, so I’ll have to get more soon.  But, you can see a few of the tricks she’s mastered in this video: crawling, torturing Penny, and attempting to steal Ava’s pacifier.
