On January 5, 2011 our little baby girl Juliana Grace has started crawling. She was up on her knees two or three weeks ago but she wouldn't move anywhere but backwards. She has now grasped the concept that she can move forward and at a fast pace. This keeps mama on her feet almost all day. We are so proud of our little girl. Olivia is crawling super fast. Yesterday I had her on the floor in the living room and before I even knew it, she had pulled all our music cds off of the lower shelf. I called out her name and she looked at me and smiled. What can you do when you see that sweet face, but smile back. Most of the time, Mike and I let them get into things and crawl over things to explore. As long as they are not into anything that can hurt them, we are ok with it. When the girls go to bed at night, our house looks like a disaster, but it is alright since it gives me a little more exercise.

Hello Juliana!
Hello Olivia!
Another great milestone we have achieved is 9 months. The girls are growing so fast. Olivia weighs 17.5 pounds and Juliana weighs 17.2 pounds. We are so thankful for all the clothes they received around Christmas since we have grown out of the 3-6 months. Yes, fortunately the girls are still small for their size and they can fit into smaller clothing. We are currently in size 6-9 months, which are a little big. Besides our growth spurts, Juliana and Olivia say "da da" even though they don't know what it means, and stick their tongues out and spit. Juliana has just realized that she can clap like Mama and is getting her 3rd tooth, as you can probably see in the pictures.
