Well, somehow in there we missed the 10 month update. #momfail
Actually, not a mom fail, more like #twinmomreallife
And, I am only a couple days late for their 11 month update. #momwin
Excuse me if there are typos, I am trying to focus on the screen through teary, blurry eyes. My babies are almost 1 year old toddlers. Babies, no more. The longest, hardest, most rewarding, year of our lives is about to end. I am deep in party-planning mode for their first birthday bash in a few short weeks, and soaking up the calm moments (which are few and far between these days).
Let's get right to it....
Keegan. Keegan Lee. Munka.
Weight: No doc appt, but I think about 21 pounds
Teeth: 4
Words: Da-da, ma-ma, La La (Laila) - waves buy- bye, shakes his head no
This month Keegan developed this funny, squinchy face when he gets mad. He wrinkles up his nose, frowns and goes ehhhhhhh. Then he pauses and waits for your reaction. Most of the time we laugh because its the fakest pouting ever. Kiddo is on the move. He has mastered the art of crawling, speed crawling is more like it, will stand by himself, and races along furniture. He'll wake holding our hands, but isn't brave enough to let go just yet. He loves pushing things across the floor - cars, plates, tupperware, you name it. He babbles non-stop and still thinks the world is hilarious. Keegan is a genuinely happy kid and only gets worked up when he is tired and hungry. He absolutely loves Laila pup. He yells LA LA any time he sees her and loves trying to pet her. This month has been fun because the babies will play for a long time by themselves, and its so fun to wonder what is going through their heads. Keegan loves to eat, and is a terrific sleeper. So, so blessed that since 6 months they have slept 7-7 consistently. When you lay Keegan down in his crib, most of the time he squishes his arms under his belly, sticks his booty up in the air, and he's on his way out without a peep.
Noelle. Noelley-bell, Pie face, Toofy girl, Princess pie.
Weight: 19 or 20 pounds
Teeth: 7
Words: Da-da, ma - waves by holding one hand up in the air, shakes her head no
Noelle has become such a well-natured little sweet pea. She wasn't necessary the easiest baby.... but she gets more and more fun, funny and happy as the months go by. Noelle has these funny 'quirks' about her. Like the way she flicks her little hands and gets so excited. Especially when she sees Laila. She gets so excited she almost cries - its adorable. Noelle is also a speed crawler, and will pull up to stand when holding onto something. She is not interested in walking just yet, but she will take steps behind a walker toy. She loooooves when music is on so she can dance. Actually, they both do, and they will stop whatever they are doing if a song comes on the radio or TV so they can rock back and forth. Noelle has a mouth full of teeth, and sometimes bites hard. We stop her and say no ma'am. Which usually just makes her laugh. :) Noelle will play very well by herself and can entertain herself with toys and books. She follows Keegan's lead a lot, and will watch what he is doing and then copy him. Noelle also sleeps super well - 7 - 7. She takes a few minutes to squeak and fall asleep, but after that she is a great snoozer.
We dropped most bottles this past month, and will work toward dropping the morning and night bottles as we transition to whole milk this month.

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.
