9 months old!

Where did our tiny babies go? Nine months have just flown by, and we're loving every minute of these twins! They have become expert stair climbers, they just have to figure out the going down part. The safe going down part, they think nothing of just turning around and flopping, of course. Nuala is starting to let go and stand without holding onto anything, but not as often as Bran.

They've just recently started to get upset when the other one takes whatever they're playing with. They used to not care and move on to something else, but now it's a HUGE deal, occasionally even if the other twin merely looks at the super-cool object (...wooden spoon...wipee...yep, ultra-cool), the original-player twin will burst into tears. Sometimes original-player twin won't even try to evade pillaging twin, what's up with that? Just automatic tears...babies are funny little things.

Then, they play and laugh together, and chase each other around and around and around, and the tears are forgotten. So sweet!

WOWZERS! I can't believe they're 9mos! I haven't even seen them in person yet, but I feel as if I had from the blog. I'm sure I will not meet them until they are 5yrs old :( but at least we have this. Thanks for the blogging - it really keeps us all in touch with you guys!

Half-way to nursery!:) Now the real fun begins with the toys, can't wait to hear how it continues when they start walking and running etc...

And love Nuala's hair!

Finally I get to just sit and read all of the blogs. Nula that hair is outrageous!! It makes me laugh. I know from experience that it will be gorgeous in no time at all. I really enjoy your descriptions Zac and Fiona of life. Bran and Nula are growing up fast I just want to have a turn at babysitting them. Love

Nuala & Bran are so beautiful.....and isn't it interesting how their reactions are getting more "mature"... about their interactions (squawking .... instead of peaceable...... the "natural man" creepin' in!)...but they are good about changin' their tune and playing together, I note.. Thanks for keeping us updated....we love it!
Love, Mom (and Dad too) xox

"Pillaging twin", LOL! You can hear the love in your voice when you write about your babies. They're adorable...as usual! ;o)
