The babies' 9 month checkup was on Monday. They received their Hepatitis B shot in one leg and their first of 2 flu shots in their other leg. They did OK with the shots...not too many tears! Colin is now in the lead with weight. He is 21 lbs. 9 oz. followed by Andrew at 20 lbs. 1.5 oz and then Daniel is 19 lbs. 4 oz. Andrew is the tallest at 29 1/4 inches, then Colin at 29 inches and finally Daniel is 28 1/2 inches. The pediatrician is very pleased with their progress. All the babies are getting close to sitting up independently. Andrew did for about 5 minutes straight one day this week. Colin arches his back a lot so he flails backwards and I need to always have a hand behind him to catch him. Daniel just wants to slump, turn to the side and go. Yesterday Daniel had himself on knees in full crawling position and was rocking. He is almost there! Andrew wants to grab whatever he can get his hands on. They are all teething like mad! I would say Colin is drooling the most, but still no pearly whites showing! Daniel is working on a third tooth emerging on the bottom left next to the 2 middle ones. They are gnawing on anything they can find and have been irritable this week. Hopefully today is a better day!
