This month has gone by so fast it has been a blur. I was actually sitting in bed on last night when I suddenly realized that it was the 9th- they had turned 11 months and I didn't even realize! And in only 4 weeks I will have one year olds. Crazy.
They both managed to get sick this month- together AND separately! They really have not been sick at all up until now, so I guess we were making up for lost time. Ben got Roseola which was awful! Thank goodness that Mia managed to not get it.
The biggest thing is that Mia is now walking! She still prefers to crawl, just because it is faster and she is ALWAYS in a hurry, but she is able to walk across an entire room! I have tried really hard to capture this on film, but she apparently does not want this to be documented until she has it perfected, because she always sees me and immediately drops! I did manage to get some footage though.. excuse the bed head, she just woke up!
On the teething front, Mia now has 7- she grew 3 new ones over the past month. Ben has had 6 for the past two months, but is officially cutting 7 and 8 right now- as in, he may have them by tomrrow!
They still love to wrestle... or at least, Mia loves to tackle Ben!
They both love to dance, but I think that this is the funniest video of Ben rockin' out to Elmo! Love the foot stomp to the beat in the beginning!
Mia is now obsessed with waving bye-bye! Whenever we are out, she constantly waves at everyone- at restaurants, in the shopping cart, and in the stroller going for walks she waves at the cars- it's pretty funny because the people in the car usually wave back! This is her with her talking book- when it says "bye-bye" she always waves :)
We've gone on a few picnics, and they seem to really enjoy eating outside... if they can focus on the food that is!
And Ben has this new thing where he likes to grab onto Mia in the stroller- he'll just hang on to her for the longest time like this....
She really doesn't seem to mind! He often does it when he's exited, or when we're in a store and someone comes up and starts to talk to them!
Mia LOVES dogs. We don't have one, but whenever she sees one she gets so exited. She is pretty close to saying "doggy" too. We took them to Dog Beach (yes, we really do have a beach just for dogs here!), and she loved it!
Every day when Daddy gets home we go to the park. They are definitely not content just swinging anymore, they love to explore the grass, slides etc. Once in a while they stop moving.... well, Ben does anyway!
OKOK, one more picture just because I love it! Daddy and his babies!
Next up- One year old!!
