MM just took her first (real) steps!
She walked five steps from the chair to where I was sitting, grabbed my arm and then took two more steps.
I'm pretty sure she had no idea she was doing it.

She's One!
MM had her one year check up. Here are the stats:
Weight: 17.3 lbs (8%)
Height: 28.75"(45%)
Head: 18.5 (50%)
What a little peanut! She still wears 6m clothes.

Superstar
It's safe to say that LM isn't really into playing soccer.
She's actually on the field this season instead of sitting with me on the sidelines, so some might call this progress.
I think I am going to go ahead and cross "sports scholarship" off the list, though.

Taco Bell
We're sitting at dinner, and LM says, "Mom. Speak Spanish."
So I say in Spanish (forgive my tenses, it's been a long long while)- "In high school, I take 4 years of Spanish classes, and then when I went to college, I take 2 more classes."
They cracked up.
LM says, "I can speak Spanish too. Eka-leeka-alaca-zebra."
To which I reply, "No, I speak Spanish. You speak Cah-Razy." BigM and LM crack up when I translated into English.
BigM says, "Hey hey I can speak Spanish too."
Okay, lemme hear it.
"SALSA."
I'm still laughing.

Shrimpin'
Remember when MM was 2 months old and she was in the NINETIETH percentile for weight? We called her Chubs.
Fast forward seven months, and because that little monkey crawls everywhere she goes, climbs up stairs (supervised of course- don't worry, Dad) and thinks that it's more fun to throw food on the floor than eat it, she weighs in at a measly 16 pounds, 6 oz which puts her in the eleventh percentile.
Quoting the nurse at our appointment, "I do believe she's the smallest of your kids yet. I mean, they're all small, but this one here is a shrimp."
Must be all that sushi I ate while I was pregnant (and if you're my midwife and you're reading this, I am totally kidding, I never ate sushi while I was pregnant.)
{slowly uncrosses fingers from behind my back}
So here are her official stats at nine months:
Weight: 16#6 oz (11th)
Height: 27.5" (50%)
Head Circumference: 17.75" (77%)

Get Up, Stand Up
MM just crawled over to my chair, put her hands on the edge and stood up, looking at me like the cat that got the cream.
I'm going to need some help chasing this one.
