9 Months Old!

9 Months Old...Eileen and Margaret (with Dad making sure they don't tumble out of Papa's chair)

9 Months Old...Eileen

9 Month Old...Margaret

Last Friday, 11/11/11, marked the girls' 9 month birthday.  I'm a little behind on this post as Rob and I just got back from a whirl-wind wonderful San Francisco vacation (our first since the girls were born).  Thank you so much to Grandma Cary and Grandpa Pat for taking such great care of Eileen and Margaret while we were gone!

Eileen and Margaret had their 9 month check-up with Dr. Sheridan last Friday and they are still growing like gangbusters!  Eileen weighed 21lb 12oz (91st percentile) and was 29.5" tall (96th percentile).  Margaret weighed 20lb 4oz (75th percentile) and was 28.25" tall (75th percentile).  It is time for new car seats!

Eileen is now truly crawling (she started to really get the hang of it last week) and likes to explore and examine everything.  Margaret is getting better and better at sitting up everyday and still prefers bouncing to pretty much everything else.  Eileen has three teeth on the bottom but no teeth for Margaret yet.  Here are some of our favorite pictures from the past month...
