It is hard to imagine that our babies are 10 months old! Looking back on all the months previous, they have absolutely amazed us in their growth, curiosity and with their individual personalities. We had a very fun month with the babies; taking them to the Great MN Get Together, the State Fair. They did so good, especially since we were there for 6 hours! They tried a couple of different foods, sunfish, French fries and Grandpa even gave Maddy some chocolate malt, which she absolutely loved. We also blew up a small pool for the kids on a hotter day and they really loved it! Pictures below! We have been enjoying the cooler weather, spending more time outside on walks and playing in the yard. This last month also brought us our first sickness at our house. We had made it 9 months, 2 weeks and 4 days without anyone getting sick. I think a lot of it had to do with teething, but Dylan was the first one to get a cold, which of course both Mason and Maddy ended up with as well. Let me tell you, having 3 babies with runny noses and drooling non-stop because of teething made for a very long week and a half!
Mason
Mason was the first and is still the only one that can put himself into a sitting position. He looks so grown up when he does it! He is also crawling the best, up on both his hands and knees. He is definitely still our little snuggle bug, with a little smile and giggle that will melt your heart. Mason currently has his top 2 front teeth coming in that you can see, as well as the 2 next to those as well as 2 other bottom teeth coming in. over the past couple of days Mason has just started pulling himself up onto furniture and toys, but it only ends up being 1 or 2 times each day.
Dylan
Dylan continues to be our little monkey man, going through each milestone with a huge grin on his face and developmentally very advanced. Technically, they babies are only 8 months old since they were born 2 months early, but Dylan is definitely not letting that hold him back. He was the first to crawl, kneel, stand and is working on walking. Crawling for the most part he gets up on his hands and knees, but he is still much faster when he does his little army crawl. He absolutely loves to stand and hold on to everything and anything, but 2 of his favorites are anyone’s hands that will hold him and the window sill so he can see outside. He also still loves to jump non-stop, especially when you are holding his hands. This past weekend he took his first few steps behind a walking toy, so it won’t be long now before he is really on the move! Dylan also has 6 teeth coming in, 4 on top and 2 more on the bottom.
Maddy
Maddy has really changed a lot this month. She really, really wants to keep up with her brothers and no longer gets frustrated when she can’t. She loves to feed herself at dinner time, even though she is just getting in her first 2 teeth. It won’t be long now until she starts pushing herself up into a sitting position. She also loves to sit and look outside in our main window in our living room, but she has to do it from her little exersaucer, as she has not quite started pulling herself up yet. One of our plans for this coming weekend is to lower her crib mattress down as well to the next level. She is definitely moving along at her own pace!
We are very much looking forward to the fall; taking the kids to the Anoka Parade, their first pumpkin patch, and Halloween which will be their last 1st Holiday!
Happy Fall!
Love,
S&B+3
At the Fair!
Having fun with Grandma!
