I can't believe I'm posting these pictures 10 days late! Growth pictures are one thing that I'm actually pretty prompt with most months, but oh well. We didn't get to take these until Saturday since J was out of town most of last week, & they definitely are not our best work. I guess that's what I get for being late.
This shot reflects Mal's mood of late. She is apparently having some teething pain & has been quite the stinker about not sleeping well. As a result, she ends up tired & cranky a lot more than usual.
Photo session problem #1: Jake trying to escape
Photo session problem #2: Mal is easily distracted
Sadly, this is about as good as it got this month.
Despite their uncooperativeness, the twins are doing well & getting to be such big kids! They are both crawling at warp speed, pulling up, cruising around furniture, getting into mischief & generally wearing me out, but it's also a really fun age.
This was the only shot we got of Mal where she wasn't crying. She's showing you her serious side.
According to our at-home estimates, at ten months, she weighs 16 lb 10 oz. She still has no teeth but is finally starting to get some hair. Mallory talks, shrieks, screams & finds new ways to make noise constantly. She is our little busybody & loves to dance, whether there's music playing or not.
We tried valiantly but failed to get a decent picture of Jake for this month. Here are our outtakes.
(see photo session problem #1, above)
Immediately after this was taken, he proceeded to dive head first off the chair. Don't worry - I caught him.
Poor Mr. Bear!
Ah, those mischievous eyes!Jake now weighs approximately 18 lb 3 oz. This boy loves to eat! While Mal daintily picks up her food with her tiny little fingers, Jake shovels it in as fast as he possibly can, all the while whining for you to hurry up & put more on his tray. His latest talent is waving & saying "hi," which is so cute, but I haven't gotten it on video yet. He still just has his original two teeth, but I have a feeling that more are coming very soon. Jake is our fearless little ball of energy & has the sweetest belly laugh.
We love them both so much!
