9 months

 

In July the twins turned 9 months old! We had these cute pictures taken but Dash wasn't feeling well so he didn't give many smiles but Liam on the other hand gave us lots!

 

Liam

Liam says "dada" a lot, I'm not sure if it means Daddy, Dash or nothing but it sure is cute. Since Dash started crawling a month or so ago Liam has been trying hard to keep up and has gotten pretty good at army crawling. He does get up on his hands and knees lately so he'll get it any day now. He has pulled himself up to a standing position on the toy box and a few other things but is still perfecting it. He loves to stand but this was the first time he pulled himself up. He has a very sweet personality and loves hugs and kisses and will push his face into yours to give/get loves. He does this funny face usually when eating where he pushes out his lips and then breathes through his nose fast, then when we laugh he does it some more! Lately he has been singing a lot, he has these little tunes that he sings to himself, it is so cute.

Dash

Dash does these loud and drawn out dramatic yawns that make us laugh. He started to crawl around 8-8 1/2 months and pulled himself up to a stand on the dishwasher for the first time right after he turned 9 months. He says "mama",  and has started to say "dada", again I don't know if it means anything but he does seem to say "mama" a lot when he is sad and wants me.

He is a lot like Livvy and likes to push his brother's buttons. He will purposely crawl right over Liam, sometimes pausing to laying right across him. He also crawls in front of Liam (who only army crawls so far) and then sit right in front of him blocking his path and of course he usually steals his brother's toys. Today I saw him intentionally dance for the first time, it was so cute! Luke trained him to kick and wave on demand.
