Zoey's Diary: Nine Months
Zoey here--Hi! Hi! Hi!
(By the way, my way of saying "hi" these days is smiling a big smile, shaking my head back and forth no, waving one or both hands up and down, and saying ay! ay! ay! ay! ay! at the top of my lungs. I'm talking A LOT...Luke not so much (actually, he makes a lot of squeals and clicking sounds instead of the ba ba ba ma ma ma da da da I do), but Mommy says he's got more advanced motor skills. Oh, and I've learned to pout, too, although I don't pull that move very often.)
Anyway, we turned nine months old on Saturday...Mommy and Daddy helped us celebrate by taking us to brunch where we sat in high chairs and ate puffs and scrambled egg whites...it was super fun.
Early in the month, we spent a week at Uncle Ben's for Thanksgiving. It was really fun, although we started getting sleep trained there and that wasn't so fun, but it's all good now. Here are some picutres from our trip:
Mommy tried to feed me some turkey at Thanksgiving dinner...I wasn't having it! Luke and I are eating really well, but we're not much for texture. Or meat.
Luke and I each have some new powers. We're crawling at super-speed, and just starting to stand without holding onto anything. (I did it first, Luke a day or two later). I can wave hi and bye when someone asks me too, or I do it on my own when I get excited like when I haven't seem Mommy for a little while and she comes back. But Luke can eat puffs better than me, picking them up with a thumb and finger and popping them right into his mouth. And he started climbing the stairs first (only under supervision is this allowed, although we try to sneak off and do it on our own whenever we can), but I'm doing it too now. We are speedy. We take our ducky baths upstairs and we'll crawl from the kitchen through the dining room and living room and up the stairs super quick, me screetching the whole way because my ducky bath (you know, the bathtub full of warm water and rubber duckies) is my favorite part of the day. Here we are after ducky bath in our PJs, climbing on the stairs:
We hang out in our sports car walker sometimes too, and on our new couch if supervised, and in the bouncy seat:
And we go to Grammy and Grandpa's every Wednesday...we have so much fun over there!
We get along so great, too. It seems like one baby would be so lonely. We sometimes steal each other's toys, and cry, but generally we just have the best time together. We are still sharing a crib and sometimes before we go to sleep we sit in the crib and giggle, giggle, giggle. And we're always side-by-side at home and out. We're so lucky we're twins!
So that's it! And I know month ten is going to be great...Grammy's been teaching me about Santa Claus and I can't wait!
Love,
Zoey
