Update on growth

Lizzie and Paul had their 9 month check up on Oct. 5, 2007. The main stats:

Lizzie - 21 lbs. and 27.5 inches
Paul - 20 lbs. and 27.5 inches

They are both doing great. Paul is still army crawling, but gets up on his hands and knees every once in a while. Lizzie is crawling and pulling herself up on everything. She can get into a sitting position on her own (Paul is working on it, but not yet there). They love to stand and play with their table toys, so who knows, walking could be coming sooner than I thought.
Here are some pictures of their cousins Jonathen and Killien's birthday party.

Costume Parade

Last Friday - Oct. 26, 2007 - the daycare had a costume parade for all the kids. It was a lot of fun to see all the kids in costumes. They went to different stations in the parking lot and then to a nearby resturant. Paul and Lizzie got to participate (and Mama and Daddy got some candy!) Unfortunately for the photo ops - the parade was during nap time, so they aren't real happy.

Lizzie - thinking Paul's headgear isn't very normal either


Tomorrow on Halloween the kiddies will go to Grandma Allgeier's house, with a stop at the Paschal's house (family friends).

October Update

The babies are still doing great. Paul is doing an army crawl and getting around rather well. Lizzie's actually on her hands and knees, and is getting good at going backwards - but has not yet figured out going forward. This is getting her very frustrated and we're finally seeing a little of me in her. We can hardly believe they're already nine months. Soon we'll be having their first birthday. Here are some recent pictures to show how they've grown. They have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, so I'll have an update on their weight and height.
