now for the 9 month update - and a few pics

LILY IS GETTING HER FIRST TOOTH! Lower front left. It has sort of broken through. There's one sharp little corner that we can't see, but we can feel it and hear it tap on toys.

Now for the generals... Lily is 18 pounds, 27" and in the 27th percentile for weight and height. Kate is 25 pounds, 30 inches long and in the 97th percentile for weight and height. Doesn't seem like all that much of a difference, but in baby land, it's apparently enormous.

They're eating nearly everything (except the big allergens that they can't have until one year or older - probably older since they're still considered preemies).

They're both mobile enough now that we had to install a baby gate and we're actively child-proofing. Our belongings are moving higher up every few days and when we run out of up, we're boxing and storing them temporarily (or not).
