So this is what our first Texas summer feels like. Yuck! We’ve been trying to do all of our public appearances before noon so we don’t wilt. That leaves lots of afternoon time in the air conditioning to play with Mom and Dad. Mason has decided to start exploring the house using his Army crawl skills that he must have picked up in baby basic training. Morgan watches from the sidelines and tries to figure out how to skip all of that crawling stuff and just get Mason to fetch for her. So far, so good.

We went to visit the baby doctor man for our nine month check up. Yet again we aced all of our tests (that staying up all night to study really helps). Mason is a monstrous 21 lbs 8 ozs and 29 inches long, while little lady Morgan isn’t far behind at 19 lbs 13 ozs and 28.25 inches long. We both have some new top teeth which help us try the new foods Mom and Dad are sneaking in. Just the other day, Morgan tried her first dill pickle. Mmmm! Those new teeth also mean we get a little (ok, alot) crabby at night and yell for Mom and Dad to come and check on us pretty frequently.

We’re learning how to wave hello, goodbye and just for the heck of it. Mason is practicing his Taco Bell order by saying what sounds alot like “Taco, Taco, Taco.” Won’t be long before Morgan surely chimes in with “Queso, Queso, Queso.”

Stay tuned as our baby bellies, appetites and vocabularies are sure to grow!
