Today may not be the best day to do this post. The boys have had a cold this week and sleep has been hell. Seriously. From 9 pm to morning one is up the other is up repeat, repeat, repeat. It has been on par with newborn days. We did get a 4 hour chunk last night, so here's hoping the worst is past. I do feel bad for the poor stuffed up little dudes, but I also like to sleep. No, I love to sleep.
Other than the sickness the brothers are great. We had their 9 month check up and Soren was 17 pounds 8 ounces, Kai was 16 pounds 13 ounces. Both are still on the growth curve like 15% and 7% or something like that.
Everything checked out well. They are a bit behind in their gross motor skills, but they were also a month early so no one is concerned. They will crawl, and pull themselves up, and walk, and wave when they are ready. They seem to be progressing just fine so no worries from us or the doctor. In fact, Kai is quite good at catching a ball. Here is some video proof.
What are the brothers doing? They are scooting all over the place. The get on hands and knees and rock but they mostly move by rotating and scooting on their bellies. It's not really army crawling because they mostly go backwards and side to side, though there is some forward motion. They definitely go after things they want. Before we know it they will be everywhere
I swear Kai has said hi and I also think they have both clapped and waved but it is not consistent yet. They say mama and dada and we think maybe they say it in the appropriate context. Food, they love food. Any food we put in front of them they devour some of their favorites are eggs, meat of any kind, and yogurt.
We started a music class with them and they love it. They love instruments, especially shakers and banging sticks together. They have a blast at class. So does Audrey, though she is not actually in the class but the teacher is quite kind about letting her participate when she wants. The class is at an indoor play space and she sort of comes and goes depending on what instruments are out. She always makes it for the goodbye song and dance. That little lady loves to dance and the brothers love to watch her.
Things the brothers love right now
- Food
- Blocks
- To steal each others toys
- Baths
- Stroller runs/walks
- Riding on mom or dads back in the carrier
- Peek a boo
- When mom or dad walks in the room
- Winnie dog
- Books (Kai likes them OK. Soren hates books. Hates them.)
- Getting their noses wiped
- Diaper rash (poor Soren)
- Getting stuck places, scooting around is hard
