9 Month Appts

Well both the girls are growing like weeds! Finley is up to almost 17lbs and Gillian is about 20lbs. Both are about 29 inches long putting them in the 95th percentile for their height and Finn is in the 25th for her weight and Gillian in the 75th.

My little girls are getting so big!

Blinged!

Finley's helmet is done! Well its gotta dry some more but its done! Gary put all the decals on it and then we went out and got some "bling" for it and put some diamonds in her name and some on the flowers and then Gary threw some modge podge over the whole thing so it would stay!

I can't wait to see her in it. Here are some pics of it finished. I will post some of her wearing it when she is in a good mood and I can get a pic of her and Gillian together!

Making Progress

I think.....

We went to CCMC this morning (bright and fricken early too by the way) to have them make adjustments to Finn's helmet. She is hating this thing. I mean hating. She looked so miserable in it Gary and I couldn't stand it.

Now that they shaved some off the insides where it was too tight she seems much happier in it. Thank goodness. I was on the verge of saying screw it and let her have a screwed up head!

Also the decals I ordered for it are in. I'm excited to bling out her band. Its gonna be so cute!

Say Cheese!

Its been forever since I posted pics of the girls so I thought I would overload everyone with a million today from the past month! Here you go!

Blabbering explosion

I forgot in all the helmet drama (which went much better the 3rd wearing today by the way) Finley started blabbering like crazy this weekend. She says Daddadadadada over and over and over again and she even throws in a Mama now and again for good measure.

Helmet Hell

Oh boy. Oh boy. Breath, Breath.

Finley got her helmet today. She hates the dumb thing. I am praying she was so darn cranky wearing the it because she only took a 20 minute nap before her appt and a 20 minute nap on the way home. Maybe she was just exhausted? Oh dear lord. Please let it be because she was tired.

I can't stand to see my babies unhappy. It was breaking my heart watching her cry wearing it earlier.

Anyway, she has to work her way up to wearing it 23 hours a day. I already ordered her decals for it. I can't wait to get it. Seriously. The stares walking out of there were insane. I mean, I'm used to people staring. I have twins for goodness sakes, but this is going to get us even more attention so the more I can do to make people (and ourselves) feel comfortable with this thing the better.

If you have a baby that is getting a band you need to check this site out www.blingyourband.com
they have the most awesome decals and designs.

I can't wait to get it in and make her helmet look adorable!

Dear Gillian

My little bean bean.

You have morphed into such a good little girl. Its strange. You used to be such a crank. Now you are a happy smiley baby that really only gets cranky when you are hungry or sleepy (or when Finn bites you) and you have a smile that could melt anyone's heart and the most beautiful blue eyes.

You have been crawling for the past 2 months and I honestly thought you would be walking by now. You seem pretty content crawling around as fast as you can though. Maybe that's the way you like to get around?! You are blabbering like a crazy girl too and started clapping a few weeks ago. You've been saying Dada and Mama (once in a while) and other blabbery things. You also love to scream! Loud!

You will eat anything and everything we put in front of you. I honestly haven't found one thing that you are Finn won't eat. Your favorite breakfast is pancakes and you love peas, green beans and any pasta.

And best of all you are finally starting to sleep through the night! You still get up around midnight for a bottle but I'm still up then so I don't mind!

Well that's all for now. Your such a sweetie pie, please stay a good girl for Mommy and Daddy !

Love you to pieces!

Mommy XOXOXOXO
