McKinley Jane and Grant Alan

We are officially at the 9 month mark and had their 9 month check ups recently. They seem to be growing and developing in leaps and bounds at this stage and it's so much fun to watch! Grant: For everything concerning development and growth they go by their adjusted age (which is based on their due date) which is 7 months old. As far as growth he's in the 30 th percentile for height and weight based on 7 months and as far as small motor and gross motor he's at a 9 month level. He weighed in at a whopping 15 lbs. 5 oz. so they're little guys. He loves sitting and playing with toys and can pull up on his knees. He can't pull to standing quite yet but loves to stand and hang onto things independently. He has zero interest in crawling and the developmental specialist that sees them thinks he might just skip over crawling and go to walking. At his last checkup the only concern they had was that his soft spot is closed which is a little early so they're referring us ...
