9 Months Old

I know, I know a day late, but we have a good reason- I'll get to that in a moment...

First, Happy 9 Month Birthday to Harper and Jack! They are very busy these days and Tony and I were thankful we both got some time off of work to spend the day with them and take the kids to the doctor for their wellness check up.  Here are their stats:

Jack:
Height- 27 in. 
Weight- 16 lbs 12 oz 
Head Circumfrence-18 in. 
Overall Development- A+

Jack is getting some more tummy time these days and is starting to get up on his knees a little more, so we think he'll be figuring out this crawling thing soon. Our pediatrician also said that Jack is getting ready to cut his first tooth any day now, which would explain the endless drool. The doctor was happy with his overall growth and was very impressed that he gained 4oz in a week, despite having a nasty stomach bug. We must be doing something right!
Harper:
Height- 25.5 in. 
Weight- 13lbs 4 oz 
Head Circumference- 17.5 in. 
Overall Development- A+

Our pediatrican was very happy with Harper. She said that she's gaining weight (praise God!) and loooking much better at the 9 month appointment than she did at the 6 month appointment. The doctor was also impressed with the strides Harper has made in her development. She said that her head shape looked pretty good, but we need a little more therapy for the torticollis, so we have a referal for that. Harper's eating is her big improvement; she is back on the growth charts and seems to be enjoying her meals. We couldn't imagine a few months ago that we would be in the place, but we are so happy to be here.
Alright, drumroll please....we didn't get a chance to take pictures of the kiddos and post them yesterday, because we were at teh car dealership buying a mini van. Yes, we are now middle aged, uncool, and super practical. I shouldn't complain though, because the ride is nice, the options are pretty cool, and I get both kids in and out without having a struggle.

Happy 9 month birthday Harper and Jack, enjoy your new ride!
