The girls

Here's an update on the girls.



Isla is almost 9 months old already - where has the time gone? She is crawling now - real crawling and she's fast. She's able to climb stairs - well one stair. At Janet's they have one room in the front which is a step below and Isla figured out how to get up it and was very proud of herself. So we will be putting gates up this week. She has also learned to pull herself up and now all she wants to do is stand. So far she's got the landing pretty good when she falls so no injures yet.
She also is babbling a lot - got the mamamama down which is so cute. Not sure if she knows that's me or not but it's still cute. It's neat since Lilo got the dada sound first and took her awhile to say mama.


Lilo is still growing like a weed. All of a sudden we realize that she can reach some light switches and her pants are getting short. So I just measured her and she's grown 4 1/2" this year. I don't know what the average height growth is but that seems like a lot. I just looked online and found a couple of places where they say that 2-3" is normal. I also found this site that gave you a formula to find out how tall your child will be - there is 2 ways to figure this out - one way Lilo will be 6'6" tall and the other she will be 5'6", a bit of a difference. My guess is that she will be somewhere in between.
The other big news with Lilo is that she's potty trained - yay. It took awhile but she's got it down so no more accidents, well not in awhile - just one while we were out once she doesn't like going on a big toliet.
Lilo also has this cold that's not going away - poor girl goes to bed with a deep cough. We're going to see the doctor on Monday to see if we can get it cleared up.
The 1st picture is of Lilo rocking out to the Rock Band game that Drew got for Christmas. The mic wasn't hooked up but she didn't notice - not sure where she got the moves from but she was loving it.
The other Lilo has monkey's hanging in her hair which she thought was very funny.

Rob has 3 weeks until he starts his paternity leave, which means I have 3 weeks until I start back to work. I still don't know what job I'm going to be going back to - hopefully next week I'll hear.
