9 months!

Believe it or not, Nora and Colton are 9 month already! Where does the time go?! Thursday they had their 9 month check up. Colton is 28 3/4 inches long and 18lb 13oz. Nora is 29 1/4 inches and 20lb 15oz. They are both doing great! Colton is trying to start crawling. He gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Nora is standing by herself by holding on to something or leaning against something. They will be running all over the house before I know it!

The house is slowly coming along. Our progress got derailed by illness and a water pipe bursting. Andy and I both had sinus infections and bronchitis. It hit us like a vengeance and hasn't let go yet. Little by little we are getting things unpacked and moved over from the other house. Speaking of which, we have a tenant now! Woo Hoo! I believe they are moving in next week.

Thanks to all of our family and friends who have been helping us the past few weeks. We really appreciate it!

We've moved!

It's been a long process, but we have finally moved! We still have some things to move from the old place, but we are living at our new home now. The carpet has been installed in our rec room, so we can move the furniture over for that room and really, all the remaining items. Our old neighbor and his wife were both laid off (and just had a baby on Dec. 16th), so he has been painting for us. It has been nice to get almost everything painted, most before we moved in.

Andy and I are both sick now and I am hoping the munchkins don't get it. We both have sinus infections and bronchitis. On top of that, I have a ganglion cyst in my left wrist. It has been giving me some pain, but I think it has gotten a little smaller. Hopefully it continues to shrink. If it doesn't (or it starts causing me more problems), I have to go see a hand surgeon and have it removed. That should make caring for 2 babies easy!

Speaking of which, Nora and Colton are now 9 months old! Wow how the time flies! They are settling in nicely in the new house and have adjusted well to the move. They have a lot more rooms to play in now! Last week, Nora started playing "So Big"! She is so cute doing it. Colton is now sitting up much better and they both love sitting on the floor with our big stuffed teddy bear or dog behind them. Lord help me, I don't think it is going to be long before Colton figures our this crawling thing! He gets his legs up under him now and occasionally gets himself going backwards. Nora has gotten her knees up under her a few times too. They will be really mobile before I know it! I guess I better invest in baby gates soon!
