Adult Company
Last night, for the first time since the girls were born, we wad dinner guests!
Drew, Nathania and Ivy both came over with drinks and we had home made burgers and yummy nibbles and then around 9:30 Ivy left and the rest of us got comfy outside to watch "The Moon" on the outdoor cinema that Josh had set up.
The girls slept the whole night and our guests left around 11:30pm. Josh had had a few beers and kept whispering to me "this is so much fun". I'd say the night was a success. Even if the movie was craphouse.
Hurrah for clear nghts. and iphone projectors onto white sheets. and solar powered fairy lights and popcorn. and babies sleeping through the night.

10 months
We have clapping (Ruby), dancing (Ava), playing peek a boo on their own, bouncing and so much giggling. And sometimes they happily play on their tummies longer than normal, so who knows, maybe we are getting a bit closer to movement.
They are both just under 7 kgs and both have 5 teeth, but looks like it'll be 7 very soon.
Their hair is getting longer and longer.
If I say up, they put their arms out to be picked up.
Ava loves soul. and "the fox" song. And they both love Baa baa black sheep, twinkle twinkle little star and Old McDonald had a farm.
Ruby happily plays by herself (except when she is teething) but Ava is definitely going through separation anxiety. She is fine but as soon as she loses sight of me or thinks I've walked away too far, well, she lets out the most awful cry. Sounds gut wrenching but she'll be all smiles as soon as I come back.
Ruby still likes to scream every now and then just to make sure we are all still awake. She thinks it is the best party trick ever and I don't know how to convince her otherwise.

teething monsters
We've had a bad run with little Ava teething and getting teething snots. Bright red, hot cheeks and glassy eyes and oh so miserable :( Lasted a bit longer than a week, but she came right in the last 2 days and we've had the girls sleeping through the night again. Woohoo!
And then today, Ruby got bright red, hot cheeks, glassy eyes and cried at the drop of a hat.... here we go again!

9 months and 12 days
Sooo, girls are getting HEAVY! I think they are around 7kg, but haven't had them weighed by plunket for a while.
They both sit up really well and both like to stand a lot. Ava especially will hold onto my fingers and pull herself up. Tummy time on the other hand is just not improving and they hate it. Ruby will occasionally roll herself over, but more often than not, both of them will just grizzle or full on cry until I pick them up. Lazy bums! :)
They like to say babababababa alot. Especially Ruby. And they've mastered the art of blowing raspberries. For a couple of weeks, Ava couldn't do it, and would purse her lips together and blow as hard as she could but would keep her lips clamped so she looked a bit like a chipmunk haha. But she's got it now. Ruby can do it with and without her tongue sticking out and it is so hard not to laugh when they do it. And they are very vocal about letting us know what they want. Especially when they are hungry!
Ava likes to bop up and down when sitting and occasionally shakes her head from side to side. It looks like she is dancing and Josh says she is in time with the music when it is on. Ruby seems to prefer to sing (aaaah aaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaah) or scream with everything she has (tenses up whole body and lets out the loudest shout she can).
They are lovely, smiley wee things. Unless they see someone they don't know and then they freeze and put on their serious face.
