Happy 10th Month Birthday!!

Here are some pictures of the babies at 10 months. Danner and Sawyer love to sit by the door and look out.


Well yesterday Danner and Sawyer hit their 10th month. Time has flown by. I can't believe in 2 months they will be 1. It is sad to think how fast they grow up, but I look forward to seeing them walk and talk and play together. We have had quite the week. They both have been sick. Danner started with strep throat almost 2 weeks ago. It sure is hard trying to assess sick babies and figure out what is wrong. I really thought it was just a cold, but took her in anyway. They reluctantly did a strep test because I guess it is fairly uncommon in babies, but that is what it is. Fortunately Sawyer didn't get it. Which is quite surprising seeing as how the babies share toys, bottles, pacifiers, and spit!! But he did end up with a bad stomach bug. He still has it and we made our 3rd trip to the dr in 3 weeks. Poor guy has lost half a pound in 5 days. Danner has lost 2 ounces. Doesn't sound like much but when you are only gainly about half a pound a month.......Must be sympathy because she doesn't have the stomach bug (yet). We have to take her back next month for another weight check. She just doesn't like to drink her milk so isn't really gaining much weight. However she loves solid foods so I am not too concerned.

Danner can crawl and is starting to pull up on things. She can wave, clap, and raise her hands up. She can also say mama, dada, bye-bye, baba (bottle),and no no. And it appears that Danner will stick with the butt scoot even though she knows how to do the "real crawl".

Sawyer is quite active. He is standing and has been crawling for several months now. I think he will be walking soon (too soon)! He likes to crawl to all the wrong places.....like the fireplace, cords, and computer. His favorite thing to do is watch Maggie (our dog) out the window. That is what he is doing in the picture. He just learned to wave and clap. He can also say mama, dada, bye-bye, and baba (bottle).
