So Big!




We are amazed that our "little" girls are already nine months! Marley is totally mobile, she crawls everywhere, over anything or anybody. Her crawl is more like and army crawl, she looks like she is break dancing. Turner is not to fond of his sister being able to get into "his" toy room and has become very territorial. He tries to block her from getting whatever toy she is after (once I caught him sitting on her). Poor kid won't know what to do when Morgan gets moving. For right now Morgan is content just sitting up and playing with whatever toy is near her. She has become more daring in the past few weeks, lunging at what she sees. On a few of the many occasions when Marley crawls over her sister, Morgan has been known to lean forward and bite her sister in the butt. Good thing those diapers are so thick. The girls are now eating.... they love finger food. Morgan gets so excited when she sees food coming her way she shakes her hands and if you are not fast enough she will voice her discontent. Marley continues to be our Mighty Mouse and Morgan has become our little Bam Bam complete with the pony tail on the top of her head.
Where to begin with Turner. He challenges us, makes us laugh and makes us crazy each and every day. He loves letters and numbers. He can spell a ton of words. If he sees a word a couple of times he has it committed to memory. He surprised us the other day by spelling MACHINE - thank you PBS and Word World. You would think after almost three years we would have him figured out. Not at all, he changes his routine daily, when he wakes up, when he sleeps, and what he eats. It is now several weeks past Easter and he still has Easter Eggs with candy in them. He is so quirky!
