Sarah's 9 month check up

Sarah had her 9 month check up today (yes, I know she's already 10.5 months old). Here are some of her stats:
17.1 lbs (10th percentile for her age)
29.25" long (70th percentile for her age)
She had her flu shot and the first of 2 H1N1 shots today and they ran a hemoglobin test which came back with good results.
She seems to be hitting all of her milestones, and seems to be a healthy and happy little girl!

Sarah's new accomplishments

Sarah learns how to do new things everyday! She has pretty much mastered crawling and goes everywhere. Here's her newest endevour...

Sarah got this rocking horse / riding toy for chanukkah from her bubbie and grandpa. She loves to rock back and forth on it!

I bought the "busy ball popper" for Sarah a little while ago and it has turned out to be one of her favorite toys. She either tries to catch the balls when they pop out or she'll try to catch them as they go down the curvy green section before they get spit out again. She makes it go over and over and over.

We are 26 weeks pregnant now and things are going pretty well. I have been sick a lot this holiday but other than that things are good. We have another ultrasound next week, and my tentative last day of work is Feb. 18th since my Dr. is taking me off work at week 32.

Happy 10 month Birthday Sarah!

Today is Sarah's 10 month Birthday and she gets more curious everyday. She crawls regularly now and likes to get into everything! She pulls herself up onto everything and still loves to stand and jump. She has 6 teeth now (the front bottom 4 and front top 2) but should have more within the next week or two. Here is Sarah's official 10 month photo..

I love this shot of her!

She loves playing with the new toy her Bubbie and Zadie gave her for chanukkah!

Crawling around just because she can.

Today we had a mini reunion of a bunch of friends from my high school youth group. We had it at our house and had a great time catching up. It's amazing that we are all old enough to be married with kids! There were 14 adults and 11 kids! (Sarah was napping for the photo)

She's Mobile!

Sarah is now crawling! She is still a bit hesitant but I'm sure within a few days we'll be chasing after her. Here is the proof...

She also usually ends up sleeping on her tummy at some point during the night, but my favorite is when she sticks her butt up in the air...too cute!

She's starting to get into everything. We tried to put her to sleep the other night, she seemed to go to sleep, was completely silent and when I went in to check on her 30 minutes later, she was standing, holding the rail and jumping in the corner of her crib. Scott put her on floor with her toys last night and left the room for maybe 30 seconds. When he came back, she had crawled to the coffee table, stood herself up and was trying to reach the basket of stuff in the middle of the table. :) Guess it's time to baby proof the house.

Catching up a bit

Apparently we are complete slackers about blogging lately. I went to post Sarah's 9 month picture and realized we never posted her 8 month pic. So here they are...
Guess how old I am?

If you guessed 8 months, you're right! :)

Now I am 9 months old!

Here is an update on Sarah's milestones...
Finally eating 8 oz bottles and full containers of baby food if she is in the mood (which is not that often)
Can (and usually will) pull herself up onto her feet if there is something nearby to hold on to. Sometimes she'll even let go and stand on her own for a few seconds
Still loves to stand and jump
Gets on all 4 but can only scoot backwards for now
Ends up sleeping on her tummy during the course of the night although she still can't roll over onto her back
Wearing 6-9 months in most clothing, but can still wear size 6 months pants
Is cuter every day :)

Sarah and Cambria at the Mall

Yesterday we met Dave and Cambria at the mall. The girls were getting along really well, especially during lunch.

Please Vote and help me decide!

I know it's still early but I am trying to decide on decor and colors for the twins nursery. I have narrowed it down to 3 but am having a very hard time choosing so I though I would ask for some opinions. Which one do you like best?
