It's hard to believe that these babies have been on this earth longer than they were in my belly! They are so much fun, each with his/her own personality. We went for their well-child check up and had to snag a few pictures while waiting for Dr. Sheri. 
At 9 months, here are their stats:
Harrison~19 lbs 7 oz (40%), 28.5 inches (75%), 18" head circumference (75%)
Madison~17 lbs 15.5 oz (40%), 26.6 inches (30%), 17" head circumference (40%)
Han is very good at army crawling, rolling, smiling, saying Da-Da, and taking a binky. He is starting to be a better sitter and we finally had a break-thru in the eating department. If you read my blog regularly, you'll remember that Harrison had a total dislike of all food, other than breast milk. At play group one day, someone suggested that I buy a self-feeder. I'd never heard of such a thing but it's like a little net that you can put any type of food in and the baby can suck on it to get some of the taste without the texture. We tried it that night and soon had an eater! We discovered that if he could put it in his mouth, he'd eat it which made for a few messy meals. But now he's happy to sit back and let us spoon-feed him and he pretty much likes everything, especially YOGURT!
Madi is still a petite little princess. She gets doted on regularly and hasn't found it necessary to learn to crawl yet. She is great at sitting, saying Ma-Ma, picking up cheerios or other small foods, drinking out of a straw, and getting her way. She is often found in dresses, skirts, bows, and piggy-tails (AKA horns). She likes all things girly and is attracted to earrings, necklaces, rings, and anything shiny. She recently started scrunching up her nose and it is absolutely adorable!
They both have very red hair and very blue eyes. Dr. Sheri said that their eye color will probably stay! Who knows about the hair! Trips to the store, library, church, basically anywhere take a little longer because people love to stop us and look at them. One elderly gentleman recently stopped me in Wal-Mart to look at the babies. He asked if we'd go over to the next row to show his wife, which we did. He told me we had made his day!
We are excited to spend more time outside in the double-stroller, taking walks, playing at the park, and frequenting the swimming pool. We invested in some 85 SPF sunscreen to protect Harrison & Madison's creamy white skin! Hope it works.

Love their stats! They are growing so fast :) I love that an older gentlemen stopped you in wal mart so he could show the twins to his wife! They are quite a pair, I like to gawk at the cuties myself :) Oh and my brother-in-law is a dermatologist and he says that anything over 50 and above is the best you can do, and pretty much the same. So, I hope their skin stays protected this summer!
They are so cute, I can hardly stand it! Love Madi in the lavender dress! I think it's nice that you made the little old man's day, too.
