9 months

The girls had their 9 month well-baby visit yesterday. It is hard to believe that the next time they see their doctor (barring any illness) they will be a year old! The girls keep on creeping up the growth chart- Claire was 16 lbs 12 oz (26th %) and 26.5 inches (12th %). Audrey was 22 lbs 4 oz (93rd%) and 28 3/4 inches.

Size wise, Claire is in mostly 9 month outfits (although I have a few 6 month items that she still wears). Audrey has moved into 18 month sizes for the most part... she was in 12 month sleepers for about a week, but then they got too difficult to zip up. Thankfully Claire should be able to use them. Audrey seems to skip sizes... she really jumped from 3 month clothes to 9 months, and now from 9 months to 18. Good thing I have two babies so everything gets worn :) 

The doctor said that there is no reason for the girls to be getting up for night feedings, and suggested letting them cry it out. I gave it a go last night, but I couldn't let them cry for more than five minutes. I did however listen to her suggestion of getting them water in their bottles... Audrey didn't seem to notice the difference.

Claire and Audrey are now ready to start table foods- it is kind of scary, but the doctor said that the girls should be eating whatever we are eating... time to get some meal ideas from Pinterest!
