Happy Nine Months Yip and Yap

We made it to nine months are we are all still alive and relatively sane. The girls are both crawling and sitting straight up. As you can see from the pictures above, they are much more interactive (poor Kermit.) Evangeline has two bottom teeth and Addison is very close to getting hers, or at least that is what it seemed like at 3:00 in the morning. Both are napping very well, which gives mommy time to update blogs and do her woman's work (ha ha ha, I'm very tongue and cheek here for those of you who knew me in my angry feminist days.)

Addison and Evangeline are starting to communicate more and more. We are teaching them sign language and they understand milk (surprise, surprise) and they can do it back to us. They are doing very well on their solid food, which I am still making from scratch. They love corn and blueberries, lentils, green beans, pewi (peas and kiwi mixed) and mango. Surprisingly, they hate oatmeal. As you can see from the pictures, the girls are full of joy and life at all times. Our small house is full of joy and bursting at the seams with it. We are all so grateful for the well wishes, gifts and diaper donations that we have received. Having children can be difficult, but it connects you with your friends and family on a deeper level and helps to remind you what life is really about. The trick is reminding yourself that at 3:00 in the morning. :o)



Top four pictures are a result of silliness caused by cousin Lindsey, I take no parental responsibility for future child embarrassment as a result of making the girls look like Alfalfa or old golfers on Caddy Shack.

In the photo of Evie and Addison with Kermit (the first of the 8th
month photos), Addison looks like what her Grandpa Mick must have looked like at 8 months. I have seen that same expression on Mick so often.
