Nine Months

We took this most recent picture of the quads this afternoon. Look how big they are!

Waiting for breakfast

The girls are very patient.

Can you tell we're hungry?

Playtime in the morning

Virginia

So sleepy!

Virginia is our biggest talker. We've heard her say ba-ba-ba, ma-ma-ma, and da-da-da, among the other noises that she makes. She also enjoys watching, touching, and mimicking your mouth as you talk to her. She still needs a little assistance sitting up. Although she isn't crawling yet, she uses rolling to get where she wants to go. She is starting to rock a little when she's on her stomach and we discovered last week that sometimes she dances. Sometimes when the music plays on one of her toys she starts nodding her head and bumping to the music. She is quick with a smile and a laugh. She is so much fun to watch and such a happy baby.
Jane

Posing with her sleeping buddy.

Jane also loves to smile and laugh. When she is happy or excited she squeals. Sometimes when Gray gets home from work, she shakes her head back and forth and grins so that he will notice her. She loves attention. Jane is beginning to tuck her legs underneath while on her stomach and is able to scoot backwards. She is great at moving herself around and getting to the toy that she wants. She is really interested in the other babies now and likes to touch and pat them. Jane now has two teeth on the bottom and two teeth coming in on the top.

Broox

Broox is the closest to crawling. He can push up to all fours, and loves to be on his stomach moving around the mat. He is our only pacifier lover and has to have it and his green frog in order to take a nap or go to sleep at night. Broox is a big flirt and loves people. He has learned how to give hugs and likes to cuddle. He also has two teeth on bottom and two coming in on top. He likes splashing in the bath and being tickled.

Rainer

Rainer does not enjoy crawling practice and will only spend a few minutes at a time on his stomach. He is the best at sitting independently and prefers that position to any other. He loves to squeal and let out high pitched screams when he's having a great time. He loves bouncing on your knee, swinging around on your hip, dancing with you, etc. He likes to be active. He makes one hundred silly faces, and loves a bottle. Rainer has four new teeth on top and three on bottom.

My boys

The crew playing with their cool new toy from Papa and Lizzie. They love the songs it plays.
Our play room

Rainer is a bottle holder now! Broox only needs a little assistance every now and then, and the girls will be there soon.
