Today the weather was so nice outside, Mom took us to the park. On the way over we enjoyed our favorite food- Crackers! London was very excited to get out of the house. He kept running ahead of the stroller.
At the park there were lots of kids to watch. They liked chasing London and that made us laugh. We also got to try out the swings for the first time. I loved it! Sister wasn’t so sure about it. While we were swinging I sang her a little song to try to comfort her. I hope the weather stays nice so we can go back soon!
My baby girls are nine months old now. I feel like every month that goes by I say, “This is definitely my favorite age”. I wonder if there will be a point in which I’ll wish they were still a previous age over the current one, but at this point they are learning and doing new things everyday. It’s so fun to learn more about them and watch as they become more active, more expressive, more opinionated and just so very different. The best thing has been watching them play together. Wherever Emmie goes, Ainsley is not far behind. Whatever Ainsley has Emmie is sure to be interested in it. Emmie is far more adventurous and active, seeking to destroy anything in her path. Ainsley is more focused and aware of those around her. She likes to focus on one object and examine how it works. Emmie is far to busy for such things.
During the first few weeks after the girls began crawling, it was relatively easy to build a barricade that kept them in and out of places. However, now they are much to strong and smart to be fooled by such things, they either go through it or over it, so we invested in the Ultimate Baby Jail. So far it has been great. It allows them freedom to roam around, make a mess, and I don’t have to worry if they are into something they shouldn’t be or if they’re attempting to climb into the fireplace. Now if only I could keep them from pulling each other’s hair and using the other as a stepping stool.
Today we went with Mom and Grandma to run some errands. Of coarse we hit up Costco. While we were out it got pretty cold, and Mom forgot our sweatshirts. Lucky us, Grandma bought us some cute warm sweatshirts. All that shopping made us pretty hungry so we got some yummy bagels from Trader Joes.
Lately we’ve been trying lots of new foods. In the morning we love waffles, bananas, yogurt, apples and our favorite Cheerios. We also like frozen peas, green beans, raviolis, carrots and spinach. It’s so fun exploring new foods. We’re glad Mom is such a good cook.
Today I went to my weekly PT (Physical Therapy) I really enjoy my therapist Mary. She is very patient and encouraging. Today was a good session for me. I didn’t cry or need my blankie. I was able to do all of the stretches and relax. My neck felt so much better after and my crawl was a little straighter too!

We love our Aunt Maddy! She came to spend Christmas with us. She brought us lots of fun gifts. New puzzles, blocks, books and clothes. We looked so cute in our first pair of trousers!
She is lots of fun and lets us do things Mom says no to. We get to fly in the air, pull the dogs tail and chase the Cat! We hope she comes to visit more often.
