9 Month Appointment, Picture time

When did my girls get to be 9 months old? Where is the time going?

They're both doing great!

Callie is 19 lbs 6 oz and 29" long (50% for weight and about 90% for height).
Emma is 15 lbs 13 oz and 27" long (5% for weight and about 50% for height).

Both are where they need to be developmentally. Emma has a 3rd tooth coming in (this one is on the top)...no signs of more teeth for Callie yet.

I cannot believe I made their 1 year appointment today! This has been the fastest year of my life, I think.

We took the kids to get pictures last night...not a good choice (as Josh would say). They were all cranky. Josh wouldn't smile (but, he never does for posed pictures). :) Callie & Emma were both fussy. The photographer wasn't as good as the one we normally have...she missed alot of decent shots - maybe not GREAT shots, but at least the girls were looking up and not crying. HA! Oh well...we got a couple of "okay" shots. I bought mostly wallet size pictures to send out in Christmas cards.

After that, Josh insisted we go see Santa. Tuesday nights are a GOOD night to see Santa - there was NOBODY there. :) So, we walked right in. While I was getting the girls out of the stroller, I told Josh to go over and talk to Santa. He told Santa he wanted Batman for Christmas!

The Santa pictures were no better the the portraits. Josh and Emma looked pretty serious and Callie was crying. Emma was fascinated with Santa, though. She just kept looking up at him and trying to figure him out. Josh was really excited that he actually talked to Santa. :)

He is doing great with talking to people now. He's so painfully shy, but he's really making an effort. I don't push him into talking if he doesn't want to - he does it on his own and then is so proud of himself for talking to different people. :)
