Dumping clothes all over their bedroom floor

This has been a big growing month for these two!  It seems now they are no longer babies but are becoming little people now.  Each eat solids 2 or 3 times a day now and both prefer to eat food rather than formula.  Each tried sippys, but neither of them are fond of it yet.  Emmy struggles with fruit but loves sweet potatoes.  But she will put anything in her mouth that is left on the floor! Max loves corn and sweet potatoes and will eat mosts veggies, but struggles with fruit other than bananas. Neither of them are big meat lovers yet.  Each is crawling at a rapid pace now and get from point A to B faster than the rest of can get there.  Each is pulling themselves up to everything and Max is really efficent at it.  Emmy crawled a bit before Max but I think Max may walk first.  Emmy is really vocal and she waves "hello" and says bye bye, dada, mama and baba. She blabbers a lot in between though.  She and Max like to play with the same toy at the same time and are interacting more with each other,  The other day Max was out here playing while Emmy was taking a nap and when I brought Emmy in after her nap, she yawned.  Max opened his mouth wide and tried to copy her.  Then they both grinned.  I love moments like this.  Max says dada and mama.  He LOVES to pull himself up to their changing table and dump their baskets full of clothes all over the floor.  He is quieter, but he is into everything.  He is not sleeping through the night and likes to sleep in our bed.  Bad habit. He really wont take a nap unless he is in his carseat. He seems more sneaky and less vocal than she is. She babbles everywhere she goes.  It just seems like each is starting to grow up an each is learning new things at such a rapid rate now. She nods yes and he nods no.  I could just melt. Their new favorite thing to do is dump their baskets full of clothes in their room all over their floor.    They had their well check appointments are here are their stats:
