9 months

How can my sweet baby boys already be 9 months old? Time is truly flying. 

Monday we had our 9 month check up. The boys did great although both Nick and I got spit up on. That's usually not a big deal but mommy fed the boys spinach, pears and quinoa for breakfast. Talk about stinky...and green.... Oh well. You live you learn! Won't be doing that again. 

Pierce weighed in at a whopping 13# 5 oz. Knox weighed in at 14# 5 oz. They are both right on target on their growth chart but Dr. Agrawal does want them to gain some more weight. We are adding a few ounces of milk to their daily intake and focusing less on their food intake. 

The LPs also got their blood drawn. There were no shots today. We are all caught up on those. The blood draw was a small prick on their toe and then a tiny vial was filled with their blood. They both did really well. I was impressed. Pierce's took a few minutes but Knox was a good bleeder and his took no time!

After our check up, daddy headed to work while the LPs and I went and got adjusted at COL. Then we headed back to the burbs. We spent the rest of the day snuggling and playing.

Tuesday was a work day for me. Boo. I sure did miss my loves. 

This morning we did our 9 month photo shoot. 

Sweet P. You are still our mover and shaker. Boy are you going to give mommy and daddy a run for their money! You are quite the explorer. You're so curious and want to see and touch everything for yourself. You love to scoot in circles on your tummy and you put anything in sight, in your mouth. You love to eat! Puffs are your favorite and you scream for more at all times. You grab them by the fistful and try to cram them all in your mouth at once. You are such a happy boy and you scream in delight everywhere we go. You know how to flirt with the ladies and you love to flash your megawatt smile. You're such a joy. We love watching you grow and learn. We love you so much Pierce Alexander. 

Knoxamillion! You are such a lover. You love to snuggle and burry your head into the shoulder of whoever is holding you. You are really good at pulling up on anything and everything and once you have accomplished this task, you are so proud of yourself. You're quite the eater and you scream when food isn't in your mouth fast enough. Like P, you love puffs and you are really good at picking each one up and putting them in your mouth. You are a happy, go lucky boy. You flash your gummy smile with some coaxing and everyone loves your crazy, untamable hair. You love to reach out and touch things but are content sitting with your toys too.  We love watching you grow and learn.  We love you so much Knox Collier. 

I'm sure the next month will bring many more adventures. We love you Little Presidents. Thank you for bringing us so much joy. We look forward to watching you grow and learn. Xoxoxo
