9 months

My little cuties just had their 9 month check ups.  They are the best little babies.  Beckett just laughs or growls at the doctor the whole time and Maci has finally smiled for him.  They are still just the tiniest little things.  But they do eat well.  Becket is very excited for any and all "real" food.

Their torticollis is much better.  Actually it is gone for both of them and they have had huge improvements on their development in the last month.  We are hoping that they will go to PT again next month and then we can be done.  They still have flatness to their heads but it is much better so they don't qualify for helmets.  We are hoping with time they will continue to improve.  Their heads will continue to reshape until they are 5.  One nice thing about all this therapy is that we can't let them just lay on the back of their heads and haven't for a long time now.  That means no bald spots.  I love that.  My kids usually get giant bald spots. 

Beckett claps and gives fives.  I was really excited that I saw him clap first.  So exciting.  I know that sounds silly.  But really feel like I miss everything.   It is those little moments when I finally get to experience something first that I can go to work another day.  He talks and plays and talks and talks.  He is loud.  As he grows he is more and more like Landon.  He is all about the game.  He rolls over now both ways and he is starting to scoots on his back.  He can stand along furniture but not on his own and doesn't pull himself up yet.

Maci loves attention.  Just like Cait.  They are girl through and through.  She doesn't clap or anything yet but she does get all over the place.  She rolls over and can get up in crawl position.  But no crawling yet.  She scoots all over on her back and is starting to on her stomach.  She loves to stand up at furniture and does well.  But she doesn't pull herself up or anything like that.

The doctor has suggested we contact kids on the move to help them with their delays.   Looks like I will add that to my to do list this week.



Maci has passed up Beckett in weight.

Maci weight 15.43 lbs  2%   26.2 in 7%  head is 9%
Beckett weight 15.15 lbs 0% 27.25 in 12 %  head is 12%
