9 month appointment

Look at that bed head.

Sierra and Luke had their 9 month appointment this past Thursday. Both had pretty nasty colds, but are on the mend now. Sierra weighed 17 lbs. 13oz (39%) and was 29 inches long (86%). Luke weighed 22 lbs. 9 oz. (86%) and was 29 inches long (64%-different percentile charts for girls and boys). We looked back at Isaiah's stats and he was 20 lbs. 6 oz. (he weighed 17lbs 13 oz. at his 6 month appointment and 22 lbs. 6 oz at his 12 month appointment) and 29 inches at 9 months. So all three of our kids were 29 inches at 9 months.

October....

Time seems to be flying by. Hard to believe it is already November. Matthew's mom came to visit (help) for 2 weeks in the end of October. We had a great time and the kids love her. Some highlights were going to the pumpkin patch, trick or treating for Halloween, riding the train, and the twins baptism.  The twins turned 9 months the end of October. They are full of life. They both love to explore the house, stand up next to anything, wave bye-bye, clap, and enjoy being outside. Sierra is a little aggressive and will tackle (or bite) her brothers if they try to take away her toys. Luke is a little more laid back.

We take this same picture each year we visit the pumpkin patch. (4th year)

Trick or treating with cousins on the wharf and party at Frontier Ranch.

Kids were playing in Luke's bed after his nap. Luke was laughing as Sierra was "patting" Isaiah's head.

Family Photos

We got family photos taken by our friend Peter and Jana Thomsen. Peter always does such a great job.  Here are a few of our favorites...

The twins love standing by their play table and eating snacks.

Matthew said we needed to fix the sink, so Isaiah thought he would be nice and take care of it for us.

Having some lunch.

Sierra and Luke are 8 months old! They are always on the move; crawling around the house and standing up by everything. Sierra likes to clap, be held, pull all the books off the bookshelf, go for walks and take baths. Luke likes to shake his head "no", play with Isaiah's toys, make funny faces, go for walks and his Daddy.

The twins new high chairs.

Isaiah loves to help Daddy work. Here he is with his tool belt, hard hat and his construction plans.

Eating

The twins are loving eating food, especially Luke. He tried apples and made this face after each bite, but kept opening his mouth for more. He even decided to eat Sierra's bib when the food ran out.
