We are going through some serious teething with Grayson, but so far he has been such a trooper. Hallie doesn't have any teeth just yet but, is becoming attached to Mommy lately. She cries when she sees me during play-time and reaches for me constantly. I love this extra bonding time as she has not always been overly affectionate. Fortunately, Grayson is a happy camper most of the time and doesn't seem to mind the extra time Hallie has needed. As with all things twin related, we jump in and out phases so fast it takes me awhile to even realize we have left one and entered another. I'm sure next week she will be over me and on to someone/something new!
In other news, both Grayson and Hallie have graduated from ECI therapy. WOO HOO! This is one less appointment for us to schedule each week. They are age appropriate in motor and fine motor skills so we got the green light this week.
As for helmets, we are getting ready for round two. We aren't overly excited about a second go-round, but want what is best for H&G.
Here is what we are up to in our 9th month.
GRAYSON
Weighs 20.5 lbs
Says 'dada' and 'baba'. He has become very vocal lately and does a funny growl like noise when he is playing or having fun.
Sits up for as long as he wants and can go from a laying to sitting position with no problem.
Starting to pull up so the crib had to be lowered. Here we go!
VERY close to crawling. Up on all fours rocking and is ready to take off any minute.Has SEVEN teeth! He is a trooper after getting his 4 top teeth all at once. He was fussy, but nothing we couldn't handle and in my opinion, easy for four!
Loves to eat and is very interested in his food and everyone else's!
Likes, oatmeal, chicken, peas, squash and doesn't mind mommy's homemade food. Not a fan of anything sour or tart like apples and pears.
Loves to play/tackle Hallie. Even pulls her hair sometimes. This isn't a favorite for Hallie.
Likes to bite and 'give sugars' on our arms, faces, legs or whatever is near him.
Loves bathtime.
Sleeping like a champ through the night, but it still takes a few minutes (or more) to get him to sleep.
He loves the dogs, watches them intently and try to pet/grab them whenever he is within reach. I think he may be an animal lover.
His disposition is sweet as can be. He is fairly easy going until he is over tired or hungry. He is laid back and east going like his daddy.
HALLIE
Weighs 18.5 lbs
Says 'dada', 'baba' and 'nana'. I am patiently waiting for mama!
She squeals and screams when she is happy or excited. She let out a huge squeal out of nowhere in the car this week and scared Mom and I half to death.
Sits up and can go from laying to sitting with no problem. She scoots wherever she needs to go.
VERY close to crawling. Up on all fours rocking and is ready to take off any minute.
Starting to pull up so the crib had to be lowered. Here we go!No teeth. Maybe she plans on Grayson doing all of the chewing for her :)
She isn't as interested in food as G, but does like the pureed store bought food better than homemade. I think she prefers the texture. Her favorites seem to be the sweeter foods, such as apples, bananas, and sweet potatoes.
Loves to play with her toys still, and has no problem taking toys from Grayson. In fact, once she decides she wants something, she will most likely end up with it. Grayson doesn't seem to mind.
Loves bathtime.
Sleeping is still hit or miss. She has been waking in the night and coming to bed with us. She sleeps in the pack and play away from Grayson so that she doesn't wake him when she does. We hope this is a phase and are going to try not to get her right away. Cry it out method is a little harder with Hallie. She gets so worked up it almost scares me she will make herself sick. So for now, we have another little body with us in bed. It could be worse and to be honest, I kind of like it.
She waves bye-bye and claps her hands to paddy cake. It's adorable!
This girl is all personality, she constantly makes us laugh with her drama. She lets us know when she isn't happy, but is sweet as sugar like her brother.
