Since it's October already, I figured I better finish up the September photo album with the last few pictures for the month. It's been busy as usual here. We are anxiously awaiting completion of the house addition. We have windows now, and they'll start on the drywall as soon as the framing inspection is done. Funny quote from one of the subcontractors yesterday, as he was fixing a couple of things that didn't pass inspection: "You call the inspector an a%*hole one time, and the next thing you know he's red-tagging all your jobs!" Yeah, buddy.

The kiddos are changing every day, it seems. Katie is definitely learning words, she says "bye" and "ball" and "star", and she barks when she sees a dog (or a picture of a dog, or something that looks kinda like a dog). Jimmy is still babbling a lot, but we haven't heard any real words from him yet. He has finally decided he'd rather walk than crawl most of the time, and he is much steadier on his feet now. Sarah is rolling over both ways now, and starting to scoot along and reach for toys. She is happy to lie on her tummy for quite a while, holding her head up and playing with little soft toys. One of her favorites is the same set of soft blocks that Jimmy loved when he was about this age.

Everyone went to the doctor together last week, the twins for their 15-month visit, and Sarah (a couple of weeks late) for her 4-month visit. They all got shots, which always makes me sad, but they got the crying over with quickly. One of the nurses brought out some bubbles, which took the twins' mind off the ouchies instantly! They're still growing well... Sarah is up to nearly 25" tall and 13 lbs. 6 oz., Katie is 30" tall and 21 lbs. 2 oz., and Jimmy is 31" tall and 25 lbs. 2 oz. (yes, he's a solid little boy!).
