Joyful, Joyful: 9 month milestones

It's official... we have a crawler! Mary Kate started crawling Sunday night, the 17th, and she was very proud of herself. We are very proud of you too, Mary Kate! Your dad and I love watching both of you meet and conquer milestones! It is such a joy, and it is like watching small miracles happen everyday! Sally is not far behind. She is up rocking on all fours. Sal can also get herself into the sitting position on her own as of today. It is still a little hard for her, but she did it for the first time today! Both girls are pulling up on things to get themselves up on their knees. When I go to wake them up in the mornings, Mary Kate is sitting in bed with her feet through the bed rails waiting on me. One morning, she was sitting at the end of her bed just watching Sal. Right now, the girls' favorite game is peek a boo. They get the biggest smiles on their faces. I would pop out from behind chairs a thousand times a day to get those smiles! Here is another picture of Mary Kate crawling. Right now, it is a slow and steady crawl. I know in a couple of weeks, I wont be able to keep up with these girls!
