Month 9 with Twins

Hello my wonderful readers. Usually I post the day they turn whatever months but we have been busy haha, that's life right? Well these two boogers are 9 months old! They are all over the place and getting cuter everyday!  Andrew is now 18 pounds 15oz,  27.75 inches and Juliet is 14 pounds 14oz,   26.5 inches. 
Diaper Size: Both are still in their cloth diapers 95% of the time set on the first rise snap still. For disposables which we use when we are out of the house and at night Andrew is in size 3 and Juliet is finishing our size 2 stash and then she will be in size 3 as well.
Clothing size: Andrew is wearing his 6 month clothes (possibly not for much longer) and 6-9 month clothes, and some 9 month clothes. Juliet is still wearing a few 3-6 month things, mostly 6 month clothes. 
Sleeping: Both still take 2 naps a day for 1-2 hours one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They are still sleeping all night in their cribs in the same room as big sister. 
Feeding: They are both most of the time eating every 2.5-3 hours 5oz each of formula. They also have purees of all kinds twice a day so far, breakfast and dinner. 
Routine: Our routine has stayed the same for awhile now.
Firsts: The only first things that we did this last month really was their first wedding outside the womb. 
Movements: They are crawling at full speed now, both are pulling themselves up on everything (both cribs have been lowered to the lowest setting), even climbing at times, both sit up no problem by themselves now. Juliet has taken a couple steps once behind the pushing lion toy we have, also she can kind of walk along the couch holding onto it. 
 Everyone loves to be in the chair when mommy sits down for a second haha. 
 They are so smiley. 
 Here is a prime example of the climbing, don't worry Aaron is sitting right outside the picture. 
 These two are up to no good always haha. 
 We celebrated 37 weeks outside of mommy, the same as the 37 weeks they were inside me. 
 Sitting up all the time now and laying in the boppy pillows to eat. 
 Little Mr. chunky thighs standing up.
 Just relaxing with daddy. 
 Climbing on me always. 
 Andrew got to wear his daddy's baby clothes. 
So proud of themselves standing in the crib. 
 Their first wedding outside the womb was their uncle and aunt's. 
 We have only ever taken one picture together as a family of 5, the day we came home from the hospital and it was a terrible one, so this one will be framed on the wall. 
Everyone standing together playing nice for a second. 
I hope you enjoyed the update on these two I can't believe how fast 9 months has gone by. I need to get a move on on their first birthday. Lots of love always.

Our trip to Lake Tahoe

Hello my wonderful readers. A few weeks ago we ended our summer with a trip to Lake Tahoe. The kids had lots of fun and it was a really nice day. No one got sunburned and we didn't bring too much sand home, win win! I thought I would share some of the pictures from our trip. 
 Penelope didn't want to even go in the water but had a blast just digging in the sand for a couple of hours. 
 Little brother wanted to play too but we stayed out of the sand due to them putting everything in their mouths right now haha. 
 So cute!!
 My sexy hubby! 
 The bumbo chairs were perfect for this outing! They sat in them out of the sun and watched sister play while they played with the bag of toys I brought for them. Every so often I pulled them out. 

 We took a picnic lunch because Penelope loves picnics!

 Daddy did put each of the baby's feet in the water and they liked it. 
Overall we had a wonderful time. Our little set up was great and kept us out of the sun for the most part. Lots of Love to you and yours.
