Nine Months

Keegan

Nicknames: Bug, Munka, Keegan Lee
Weight - Doc appt next Wednesday and I will report back!
Height - see above!

Keegan is 9 months old! Over the past month so, so much has happened with our sweet boy. We celebrated our first Christmas and enjoyed a week in Houston with family and friends. Unfortunately, the week before Christmas Keegan was diagnosed with RSV! No fever, just a cough and a yucky snotty nose. Luckily he was feeling just about himself during the Christmas celebrations. It's always a little tough on them to get out of their routine, but they did great and Santa Clause spoiled them rotten. (Thanks Mimi and Netta!)

Words: Dada, mama, working on bu-bye

On the move: Crawls --- speed crawls, really. Pulls up to standing on everything! Takes a couple steps when behind his push toy. Creeps along the couch ottoman.

Foods: Little pieces of lots of things. Cheeses, yogurt, cheerios, banana, puffs, crunchy celery sticks, pureed baby food.

Sleep: Loves to sleep. Sleeps 7-7 every single night. Sometimes we even have to wake him up in the morning to get him ready for school.

Teeth: Keegan has two bottom teeth. The first popped out the day after Thanksgiving, with the second one just a couple days later.

Keegan is still such a happy, funny kid. I mean he just has this hilarious personality. He loves his daddy and LOVES to be picked up. He will follow one of us until we bend down to get him.

He wears 12 month and even some 18 month clothes.


Noelle

Nicknames: Pie, Angel Pie, Noelley, Princess Pie
Height: Will know next week!
Weight: same!

Noelle is really thriving these days. One day we will be able to tell her just how many grey hairs she put on our head as a baby. :)  She is so happy these days. Her little personality is blossoming; she is inquisitive, sweet, funny and beautiful. She gets SO excited about things and kind of flaps her arms.. I think she is trying to clap because she loves watching me clap for her. She gets THE biggest smile and does her little laugh. The best is when her daddy tickles her and she closes her eyes when she laughs. She loves her daddy and will reach for him as soon as she sees him.

Noelle went from army crawling to real crawling the week of January 13th. She also started pulling up on toys the very same week. Guess she got tired of watching Keegan get into everything, and she wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Words: da-da, ma-ma

On the move: Officially crawling, and crawling fast!

Foods: All the same as Keegan, but she is a better eater. Noelle is great at picking up the little pieces and feeding herself. She always wants to do it herself, and doesn't want me to feed her with a spoon very much. Her eyes get big when she sees the cheerio box - she loves them.

Teeth: 4 sweet teeth - two on the top and two on the bottom. They are gonna be cute little teeth.

Sleep: Sleep has also been great for Noelley. She sleeps 7-7 each night. There were a few nights this month she would wake up for a little while because her poor little teeth hurt. I rocked her back to sleep those nights, and wouldn't have traded those quiet moments with her for anything.

She wears 9 month and 12 month clothes.

Noelle is so fun, and this month has been so neat to watch her learning about new things, interacting with Keegan, and becoming so vocal. She squeaks and squawks and 'talks' all day long.
