9 Months

You girls are SO MUCH FUN!  Payton has spent that whole month crawling all over the house.  And Parker ... she's working on it!  She's so strong.  She just can't figure out how to go forward instead of scooting backward.

We ended the month with brand new teeth.  (Finally!)  Parker got her bottom two teeth a couple weeks ago, and Payton's started peeking through just a couple days ago.  They are both working on lots of top teeth right now.  Well, there better be a lot of teeth coming!  Cranky past few days.

These Pictures are More Difficult Than They Used to Be!

So we tried focusing on one baby at a time:

Happy Parks

Happy Pay

These girls love to take pictures, play with Big Brother, eat Puffs, and climb on Mommy every chance they get.

Things We Don't Want to Forget

• the look on Payton's face when she sees us coming to get her out of her crib
• Parker's obsession with making raspberry noises with her mouth
• how both of them love their Mommy and want to be held all the time (one day I will miss that feeling ... that feeling of being everything to them)
• the giggles when Barrett makes them laugh
• Parker's determination to crawl, and Payton's determination to always be close to Mommy (that girl can find me anywhere)
• the way Payton sits up on her knees and bounces with her huge smile when she gets excited
• the way Parker flaps her arms, makes her happy noise, and smiles with her whole body when she gets excited
