The girls are HUGE!!! Let's start with that.. They are finally on a schedule and doing great with it. Bedtime is anytime between 7:30 and 8:30 and they will sleep til about 4 or 5 and then have a bottle. After that they go back to sleep til at least 8am which is pretty good.

Nap time is about noon or 12:30 depending on when they got up and they will sleep til about 1:30 or 2.. That is a morning with Daddy.. and he leaves to work at 2:30

I get home from work at 3:30 or 4 and they are up and will usually go back to sleep at 5 for a half hour if we are not out and about. It's usually a short nap (very short) then it's play time, bath time every other day and play time again until they get a bottle before bed and once it's bed time, it's BED TIME! 8:30 is the limit if we are home, which is most of the time. It was hard in the beginning cause they would cry but that onlu lasted a week and they learned it was night night time. Now it's pretty easy and if they cry (once in a while) then i go in check them give them kisses and thats that. For example as I type, Morgan is not a happy camper.. :(

They are learning so fast though. Morgan started crawling first and she still does the belly crawl. Riley just took off one day on all fours and just kept going. Not they are both trying to pull up on things and they are ALL OVER THE PLACE in seconds. Riley does much better getting from sitting to crawling to sitting again. Morgan still doesn't get how to get from sitting to crawling, but once she falls over ( lol ) she is off and all over the place.. She is so fast..

We are currently cup training with hopes to have them off the bottle by there first birthday or at least 14 months. We will see.. There new pedi thinks they are so darn cute and just amazed with all my kids, especially Aiden.

Riley had her first ear infection when the bug cam through the house and stayed a while, but it missed Morgan. Well not the bug just the ears. We all, except for daddy, got the sore trout, runny nose, cough, itchy eyes.. and the kiddos had a few other issues going on.. (Can you say got poops) ewww i know.. It was a stinky house with 3 poopers.. ha ha ha

Last weigh in was right after Aiden's birthday and here is the tally...

Morgan 20 pounds 9 ounces and 27 inches tall (at 9 months old)
Riley 21 pounds 8 ounces and 29 1/2 inches tall (at 9 months old)

and just for fun to compare..

Aiden 26 pounds 1 ounce and 32 inches tall (at 2 yrs old)


I will post pictures soon... for now I have to go rescue the girls with nite nite kisses..
