9 Months

9 Months? Really? 

So strange to watch them grow and learn at different paces and with different styles, in spite of being twins. Their personalities are polar opposites, with Niram being a snuggly koala bear one moment who throws monster fits the next, but has incredible hand-eye coordination and throws things and crawls, while 'Lena sings along with every bit of music that comes on, watches people so intensely, and loves to be held because she loves to have a better, higher view of the world. She isn't a snuggler, though I can get snuggles out of her a couple times a day. She doesn't throw back-arched-bloody-murder fits like Niram, but she will give a good, long, sobbing melt down when she's in the mood.

They are incredible little people.

I still can't believe it's been 9 months.

Niram crawls, and thinks he says "mamma", but it's really just jibberish.

Helena cut her top two teeth this week, and has been pulling up on furniture. She is sure she says Daddy, but her "YagAM!" noise doesn't sound like "Daddy" to me.


Anyway, that's all. Happy 9 Month Day, darling children. 3/4ths of the way to 1 year old.

Mommy loves you!
