Their personalities are starting to show and become what is normal for them. As I'm reading how they were at 9 months, most of it is still the same. Owen is still the bruiser and Griffen is complete opposite!
Owen:
Weight: 20lbs 6 oz-33%
Height:2 ft 5"-16%
Head Circumference: 17.3-5%
Height:2 ft 5"-16%
Head Circumference: 17.3-5%
Man it's crazy that Owen is only 2 lbs heavier than Griffen. He feels so much heavier. It's got to be how his weight is proportioned because they're the same height.
*Size 3 diapers
*6-9 month and 12 month clothes
*Eats solids 3 times a day with a bottle after breakfast, lunch, and bed
*Sleeps better but gets fussy at 9:00 wanting to go to bed. Fusses at 7:30-7:45 to be up. Wants to eat by 8:30. He doesn’t cry hardly during the night.

*Roams and roams and destroys! He loves pushing trucks and this little elephant. He'll push the elephant that moves and then chases it! He wants to be around people, but doesn't seem to play or stay by Griffen. Very busy boy and doesn't have much attention span to sit and play.
*He crawls and pulls himself up to everything. He'll walk along stuff. He's even standing for a few seconds on his own. He'll be walking in no time.
*Not content being along anymore. He's been so fussy lately (I think more teeth coming in) and goes around crying what seem most of the day. And poor boy because I don't ever get many times to just sit and soothe him.
*Loves going to the pantry and fridge (when it's open) and pulling things out. He also loves the dishwasher and drawers in the kitchen that he can reach. He does about pulling so much out! I can always tell when Owen's been in the room!
*Likes the binkie a lot and is the binkie thief!
*H'e more picky on food than Griffen. It's hard to find food to feed him. He loves all fruit and corn. Peas, olives, and beans on occasion.
*Mommy's boy STILL...seems to prefer me over others. He will go to Kyle though if I don't help him. But if he sees me when Kyle has him he'll try to get out of his arms and into mine!
*He gets so happy when he sees his siblings
*7 teeth-3 top and 4 bottom
*Hates getting dressed and diaper changes. It's so tiring the fight I go through every day. I have to hold his hands down with my feet to change his diaper.
*Has turned into a screamer...he screams so much it's exhausting.
*From what I can remember, he is unlike any of the other kids as babies. I don't know where his personality came from. He is stubborn and will fight for what he wants until he gets it! He will get far in life with that attitude but I think he will be a challenge to raise!
Griffen:
Weight:18 lbs 3 oz-7%
Height: 2ft 5"-7%
Head Circumference-17.7 in-19%
Griffen seems to have multiple personalities. He's very unpredictable. He's always been more fussy but does seem to soothe down easily. He seems harder to entertain and wants to be held or being interacted with. This bolded description of Griffen still seems to hold true. If he has a binkie when he is fussy that does seem to soothe him. He does throw quite the tantrums though. It’s not just screaming or crying when he’s upset (Owen just screams and cries). He will throw his body around. He also gets onto his tummy, put his head down, and rock and kick his legs. I’m scared for the tantrums he’ll throw when he’s older. This is why I document! This is the complete opposite of how Griffen is as of late. He's the calm and quiet baby. He doesn't scream or throw many tantrums. He seems to be by himself a lot. He will be content in one spot for a while playing with toys. He doesn't roam too much like Owen does. I think Griffen will be the peacemaker of the family. I hate to write this but it's the truth. Both the older kids "prefer" him. All 3 of them gravitate towards him.
*Size 3 diapers
*Size 6-9 and 12 month clothes
*Eats solids 3 times a day with 3 bottles at breakfast, lunch, bed
*I think he's been sleeping a bit better...Kyle has said he's gone in multiple times a night to give a binkie but I haven't heard them crying so I guess I can't give an accurate view.
*Crawls but didn't crawl first like I thought he would
*Pulls up to things but doesn't walk along them too much
*Loves playing with toys
*Loves pulling down the DVD’s on the bottom row in my room...this is true for both babies now!
*Hates hates hates diaper time and getting dressed. This is the time when he throws himself around in a full on fit. I feel like I’m wrangling a alligator changing him. I have to pin him down too!
*Doesn't seem to have a preference on a person...just anyone willing to hold him or talk to him
*He lights up anytime Oaklee is around.
*Has 8 teeth...4 top 4 bottom
*Eats better and less messy than Owen..Loves fruit too and corn. Peas, olives, and beans are hit and miss.
*Has had another ear infection. Since he's been born I think he's had 4. He may need tubes the Dr said if he gets another within a month or so.
They are busy busy boys and keep me cleaning! They would be happier babies if I could give more of myself to them. I need to work on giving more love and attention to all 5 kids. They have been a huge adjustment but I know a huge blessing will come from being obedient.
