#44. Seventy-Five Percent to One

Two bathers at once...a perk to both twins being able to sit up for an extended time!

It's a wild thought, but Clare and Luke have now been out of the womb as long as they were inside it!! 

Happy 9-Month Old Hawks fans!!

Takedown!!  Sister's still in charge...18 months and counting

Here are some photos and videos highlighting the last few weeks as the twins turned 9 months old. First, we'd like to report that all is going well with Luke's helmet.

More reason to be more reckless than ever!!
23 hours a day...it's amazing the food didn't reach the helmet this meal

He has been wearing it for a month now and we already saw significant improvement at his first 'adjustment' checkup.  There is no word yet on how long he will have to wear the device, but things are moving along.

So is Clare...didn't want her to feel left out

The twins celebrated their first Easter holiday.  Easter weekend began with a visit from Grandpa Dan and Grandma Steffie.

Twins loved the visit and Papa and Daddy enjoyed a night out (Thank You)!!

There were no Easter baskets or eggs to hunt this year, but it proved to be a great opportunity to get dressed up for the day.

Dressed in our Sunday best!

We all spent the holiday in Naperville at Aunt Lisa and Uncle Paul's house.  It was a beautiful day and Luke and Clare enjoyed being outdoors on the lawn and patio.

Clare prefers a more Sports Illustrated-like scene

Looking like an executive at his desk

The best part of a dress is there is more clothing to chew on

We 'tried' to stage a little photo shoot on the lawn.

Hopefully, Cousin/Brother Ben will teach these three how to pose better next time

They clearly had no energy left for the family shot

Luke and Clare are beginning to change at a fast rate.  We have enjoyed listening to the twins start to babble...

Anyone understand what Clare is saying here??

Luke saying 'hi'...I think
                                         

and laugh...
Sister's ticklish just like her Papa

Luke is becoming one big ham

and (in a preview of a future blog post) crawl!!

She will be on her feet in no time!


We are looking forward to a tenth month with these two!!
