9 month update

Today the babies are 9 months, hard to believe! What a 9 months it has been. They have now been in this world longer than they were inside. I can't say truthfully I have enjoyed every minute of these 9 months, but it sure has been the best time of my life. It is hard to believe that these two little people have captured such a huge part of my love.

Life has been a little nuts lately with teething. Anna now has her first tooth and a sore red bump of a second tooth. Alex had #4 come in this week (right bottom). The poor boy was miserable for a few days, and had a hard time sleeping at night, not that he didn't want to sleep, but his teeth were waking him up. I haven't tried many tricks to help them with the pain except for the occasional dose of Tylenol and frozen teething rings (anyone know of any other good tricks?)

Anna loves standing, she has become fanatical about practicing it. She pulls/pushes up on anything and anyone. She even seems to practice it in her sleep, she will be half falling asleep when she goes down into her crib, and next thing I know she is standing up in her crib, still half asleep. She also seems to sleep crawl. Poor girl will be whimpering and so tired and she can't seem to stop herself from moving. This has made naps a lot more tiring for her parents too, who have to keep going in to rescue her :(.
