Adalyn & Emma are doing great. They had their 9 month appointment today with Dr. G and he is pleased with how they are doing. Adalyn is 17lbs 15oz (26th percentile) and 26.5 inches (11th percentile). Emma is 17lbs 5oz (17th percentile) and 26 inches (5th percentile). So we definitely do not have a of couple giants on our hands, but they are on the growth chart and Dr. G is not concerned that they are short right now. Looks like they will not have to worry about being taller than boys when they start dating someday (probably when they are 30 if Dave has his way). In terms of their development they are rolling (although mostly just from front to back unless the are in their cribs then they roll every which way), sitting supported and unsupported if they are on your lap or at your eye level (they tip over if they have to look up at you), scooting on their stomach and back (not if they are by eachother, then they stay put, so if we want to see them move we have to seperate them and they will scoot towards eachother), standing while holding fingers, jumping while holding fingers or in their super saucers, they love to babble mostly oooo's, ahhhhh's, lots of goos gaaas geees, some ha ha has and recently a lot of da da da das. They also like to do raspberries especially when they have food in their mouths. EVERYTHING they get their hands on ends up in their mouths so we have to keep an eye on what is around them. They chew chew chew on everything, but so far no signs of teeth. They both recently got over ear infections. We are having lots of fun with them. They continue to be good babies and provide us with lots of joy. We praise God for how far they have come. One of our favorite things is how much the girls seem to love eachother. They smile so nice at eachother, talk, and fuss and cry when the other is not near.
Please continue to pray with us that they girls continue to grow and develope well and that God continues to keep them healthy. Also, due to the ear infection Adalyn has not been taking her bottles well so please join us in praying that she begins to eat well again and enjoys it. Oh and one last thing...Dr. G also took them off their preemie formula...woo hoo! So once we are done with what we have at home they will be switching to Enfamil!
