9 Month Stats

I'm really late posting these stats from the boys' 9 month well-check visit (and back-dating so they'll be chronological), but I guess it's better late than never.  So...

Colt weighs 17 lbs 3 oz and is 27.13" long

Luke weighs 17 lbs 7 oz and is 27.25" long

(even though the scale says otherwise)

In case you missed that.... the difference between them is 4 oz and about 1/8"!!!  For fraternal boy twins, that is shockingly close!!!   Everyone continues to think Luke is bigger because his face and head are larger than Colt's.  What most people don't see however, is how lean Luke's legs are compared to Colt's.  He definitely gets those from me :/  Great.  

Since I posted their actual 9 month info a few weeks ago, there have been some new developments, so I'll share (isn't that what this blog is all about??):  

*Both boys are crawling (in their own style) all over the place; 

Luke pushes himself with his right foot and pulls with his left arm stretched out in front.  His stomach never leaves the floor.  So, he's basically slithering like a snake, and couldn't be happier moving all around.   And Colt can crawl in the typical way sometimes and then he gets excited and starts swinging his left leg out in front.  It's pretty cute!!  So, it's knee, foot, knee, foot.  And somehow he actually moves forward with this cute little spin on the traditional crawl.  

*They pull up on anything and everything (tho no "cruising" has taken place yet) 

love how Colt is nearly doing the splits here...

*Colt has turned into QUITE the Momma's boy.  He would prefer that I hold him at all times... sleep included.  Clearly he hasn't gotten the memo that he's a TWIN AND A YOUNGER BROTHER.  If you happen to see him, would you please let him know??  I'd certainly appreciate it, thanks!!  :D

*Luke has a 3rd tooth coming in 

and..... drumroll.....

*Colt is finally getting his bottom two teeth!
