Sorry I did not get to write some more last night. Teag is teething and he woke up before I could finish. He is doing alright with the teething. He's chewing on everything and wanting to nurse more, but he's still smiling most of the day. He's up to about 18 lbs. now and into some of his 9 month clothing! He's almost mastered sitting, still wobbly at times. He's cooing and "talking" a lot as well as reaching, grabbing, pulling and shaking anything he can get his hands on.

Mattie has been practicing for her dance recital, which I think is in December. She is getting smarter everyday. She can spell her name and recognizes several letters. She'll point out the letters that make up her name in other words or show her two words and she'll point out which letters are the same in them. She is also getting pretty good at cutting with her safety scissors and has completed and entire book of mazes!
