9.5 Month Stats

We were a little late on the 9 month exam, but we  went to the doctor in last week, so it was more like a nine-and-a-half-month check-up .  The doctor said the girls are doing great and right where they need to be in all areas.  Ellery weighs 20 pounds, 8 ounces and is 27 inches long.  Marin weighs 20 pounds, 13 ounces and is 27.5 inches long.  They are both crawling and pulling-up.  Marin started a little earlier than Ellery, so she's mastered both.  Ellery crawls with the best of them, but she's still perfecting the fine art of the pull-up.  Marin likes to play peek-a-boo and wave bye-bye, and Ellery "dances" to music.  They both give kisses and patty-cake and love being serenaded.  By her blood-curdling screams the amount of drool she's producing, it looks like Ellery is about to welcome her bottom two teeth.  Marin already has two on the bottom and two on the top.  The girls have found their voices, and along withe a talkative brother, our house is filled with plenty of chatter....and toys...and piles of laundry...and sloppy smooches.
