New Milestones

Always Holding hands

This was so cute Ayden was just laying into Gavin.

The boys Florida Shirts

The boys are officially 9 months and they have come along way in their milestones and again, they are growing and developing so differently. Ayden is a little butter ball and has always been an inch shorter than Gavin! Gavin seems so long ans definitely not as chunky as Ayden, but it seems like the differences out weigh each other and they seem to way the same, we'll know more accurately at their 9 month appointment. Gavin can now crawl, clap, he has recently started lifting himself up on the easier things and he just started today doing this new little scrunchy face, we are trying to get a picture of it. Little Ayden is trying so hard to crawl, he just can't figure out those dang hands, he gets so frustrated, but he sure can scoot, he bounces his little bum then throws himself towards a toy, he can also turn himself to reach the toys around him. He isn't as interested as getting around as he is being held, he enjoys being the observer and laughing at his brother as he sits on the side lines with his parents. He kills me sometimes, when we try to put him down to play with toys he stiffens his legs so they won't bend while he tries to turn his body back into the person holding him, all he needs is love! We are also seeing a lot more of his little tongue these days, he has found that he likes blowing his lips together and spitting his little tongue outside of his mouth, especially while he is eating.

We got their 9 month pictures and once again Ayden was a little ham and smiled the whole way through, except when they were making him stand, that kind of threw him off. Gavin once again just stared at the photographer with this blank stare of "who are you and why do you think you can make me laugh", but we did manage to get a smile or two out of him. It's funny because they both have there moments and there are always people that see them and go "oh he's the smiley one and he's the serious one" and it is never about the same one. Some days Ayden can be very serious and some days he is very silly, it also depends on the time of day. The same goes for Gavin. Always when getting his picture taken he has a blank stare, and some times he does the same thing for other people he doesn't know, but he has the biggest smile and for the most part he likes to show it off, so really, there is not one or the other who is more serious or smiley than they other, they just pick and chose their moments.

The other day we were trying out the walker and it was so cute. Gavin stands up by it and as it moves he gets the scared look on his face and starts to cry. The cutest thing was Ayden was sitting on my lap (being the observer ) and started cracking up at Gavin, which gave Gavin some confidence and got this big smile on his face was slowly getting the hang of it. Ayden on the other hand was not quit ready, I had Gavin in my lap the camera in one hand with the other hand trying to steady Ayden and the walker from moving to quickly....you'll see him in the video it's quit funny.

We also just recently got a jogging stroller so I could go jogging with them in the mornings (Thanks for the idea Carrie) I don't know what was wrong with me, but I just couldn't put two and two together. I was trying to figure out how to work out when they were asleep, but then if I did that it would be hard to find time to just to get ready for the day, anyways now I can just go jogging with them. I think they enjoy being next to each other, here is a cute picture of the boys in their new stroller.
