We're 9 months old!

We've been 9 months old for a couple of weeks now, but you know I'm always late with these updates!

So what are we doing? Morgan was the first crawler. Rachel was the second, and Sophia started crawling one week after Rachel. WE ARE MOBILE!!!! Watch out world! (Note to self...buy more gates!)

We can all sit up. While Morgan has mastered this skill, Rachel and Sophia are wobbly sitters. Morgan can also pull up to standing. She pulls up on just about anything or anyone she can find. We're all babbling and talking all day long. Sophia's favorite thing to say is... Da da da da da da da da da over and over again. Morgan's is Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma mum mum mamama.. So cute. What is Rachel's favorite thing to say you ask? She likes to say the letter H. She pronounces it just like the letter sounds. Its funny to see your 9 month old just look at you and say H, H, H, H, H.....

The girls are really getting to be good eaters. They are eating us out of house and home. lol... I've recently had to buy double the baby food than just a few weeks ago. I think I finally need to get on the band wagon and make some of our own baby food. Plus, at 9 months old, I'm fully aware that they can start eating some mashed table foods. I'm so afraid of that though. Earlier this week, I was at Target with my mom and the girls buying, what else..... baby food. Well, everyone knows I am afraid to move on from the Stage 2 foods. So my mom talks me into buying a couple of jars of Stage 3 foods. I think we bought beef vegetable with rice and then one lasagna. I've tried giving the girls the Gerber Puffs and yogurt melts. Sophia and Rachel spit them out immediately. It took Morgan a couple of tries, but she will actually chew the puffs and melts and eat them. Anyway, so we get home and my mom starts to feed them the Stage 3 beef thing. I assumed they would spit it out since they spit out anything they are not used to, but my mom was just sure they'd love it. Well.... LMAO... They totally spit it out! (Well Morgan chewed a little bit of it, but she wasn't looking too happy about it.) I wish that they would have eaten it. I feel like I feed them the same things over and over again because I'm afraid of everything else. Needless to say, we have not tried the lasangna one yet. Also, Sophia and Rachel are such picky little eaters. They act like I'm trying to kill them if I put a green vegetable or baby food meat in their mouths. On the other hand, Morgan will eat anything you put in front of her.

Oh TEETH... Rachel is the front runner and she has 6, yes SIX, teeth. Two on the bottom and FOUR on top. The 4 on top have just come in, but she is oh so cute. Morgan has two bottom teeth and is cutting one top and one more bottom one currently. Sophia also has her two bottom teeth and is getting FOUR on top too....they just haven't broken all the way through, but I can see that they are going to any day now! So yes, I know they are ready for more foods. I am so afraid they won't know to CHEW the food. Go ahead and laugh at me.......

Overall, the girls are really doing great. We're so proud to be their parents! Time is just flying by. I can't believe we have less than 3 months until their first birthday. *tears*....
