Growin like weeds! 9 MONTHS OLD

Have you seen anything cuter? All you moms out there will secretly think ("of course I have! My kids!) But honestly these babies are just so stinkin sweet I could just eat'em up! And of course my Mom and Grandma Jones will completely agree with me. :)Brooklyn is 17 pounds, 9 ounces and 27 inches long. She finally outweighs her sissy. Both girls are only in the 25% which appears crazy if you have seen their cheeks. She LOVES to eat! She yells in between each bite of food she gets and granted there is a longer pause in between each bite because Lauren gets every other one and I switch spoons each time too. Very tricky!

She ALWAYS wakes up first in the morning and at each nap. She just requires a little less sleep than Lu. She is very independent and will play and explore in the play room for long periods of time. From 3-6 months she was the "high maintenance" baby. From 6-9 months she was SOOOOO easy going. But this past week she is proving that she wants to be "the one" again and Lauren has just mellowed out. It is so funny how that works.


Lauren is 17 pounds, 27 inches long. She may not eat as much as Brookie but she sleeps like a teenager! The girls always wakes up last, always sleeps longer, and will sleep anywhere (for the most part.) She has just stolen the "high maintenance" baby title from her sister but is SOOOO cuddly that sometimes I don't mind that she wants to be held more.
Lauren is just so happy! She smiles all the time and babbles non-stop. She is so sweet and not as bossy/dominant (for as dominant as 9 month olds get) as Brooklyn.
Oh and she HAS TO HAVE her binky! This girl cannot live without her binky. In fact most the time she has hers in her mouth and her sisters binky in her hand......so Brooklyn now sucks her thumb.


This past week the girls have discovered this drawer. I remember when Katie did and I thought it was so cute. It still is cute but all of the sudden they are like tornadoes. In to EVERYTHING!
