Growing so fast!

The boys are growing and learning so fast, I feel like I can't keep up with them. They are both approximately 20 lbs but Connor is 2 inches taller than Cameron. In addition to everything they could do at 9 months they now:

BOTH BOYS
* are great eaters
* clap hands
* give high fives
* will crawl across the house to find me if I go into another room (good thing we have such a small house!)
* interact with each other. For example, if one has a toy, the other will crawl over to get the toy. Grabbing toys away from each other doesn't bother them right now although both will get upset if the other is pushing them down in order to stand. Otherwise, fingers in eyes, smacks to the face, etc is all acceptable.
* cry when I enter or leave a room. This happens when I go to pick them up from the sitter's or when Mike has been entertaining without me and I come into view. It's distressing for all but I know it's because they realize they missed me which is really sweet, just difficult to deal with.
* are used to and accepting of their car seats (most of the time)

CAMERON
* walks holding onto furniture, walls, etc.
* got his 7th tooth
* says "da da" although it does not seem to be attached to Mike yet
* understands "No!" and "sit" (important when he's trying to stand up in the tub)

CONNOR
* pulls up on furniture
* crawls on hands and knees although will occassionally revert to his military crawl
* puts himself into a seated postion
* got his first 2 teeth at the same time
* gives "kisses" but not all the time

They are both just adorable! I can't believe our time home with them is over already. Mike went back to school three weeks ago and my time off from work is over now too. I wonder how full-time day care will change things...
