Big Girl

Claire is now mobile! She has a very interesting way of crawling - frog kicks as she pulls herself forward with her arms - but definitely gets around. She can also push herself back into a sitting position and pull up to her knees. The gate has gone back up and the shoes will need to be put back in the closet (they're her favorite thing to chew on). She went to the doctor on Tuesday for her 9 month check up - she weighed 20.6 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long (about the same size as Ella at 18 months). She also has two teeth on the bottom.

Ella went to the dentist yesterday for the first time and had no cavities! She still doesn't have all her teeth - waiting for one more molar - but the ones she has look great!

That's great! Raegan started officially crawling on Father's Day, which was pretty awesome. She'd been rocking back and forth before that, and scooting backwards sometimes, but since Sunday she's been tearing all over the place. Well, she's still working on the speed thing, but she thinks it's great to be mobile! It's really fun to watch. :-)

Sounds like our girls are developing right at the same pace. Makes sense, I guess, since they're only a week apart!

Have fun!
