9 Months and 1 Week

Ruby & Charlotte are 9 months and 1 week old today. At their 9 month check up last Thursday, Ruby was 20lbs and 28" tall, while Charlotte was 21lbs 7oz and 28 1/2" tall. We discovered that Ruby loves to stand on the sofa and look out the windows. Charlotte continues to get up on her hands & knees to rock, but no attempt at forward movement yet. Ruby now does an impressive impersonation of Mick Jagger, as you will see in one of the photos and video. Charlotte began babbling "dadada" last Friday, much to Bob's delight, though she does not associate it with him and will say it to anything at this point. Enjoy the photos and 2 videos below!
