My friend Emily, the mom of Luke and Logan, (11 months) came over today with her guys. Another twin mom named Melissa, who I met through Emily, brought her boys Weston and Haiden ( 9 months). There was supposed to be a third mom with 1 year old twin boys, but she couldn't make it. It was fun having our twin talks and comparing stories! We got to visit while changing diapers, cleaning up baby puke, breastfeeding, bouncing, rocking and playing. It was so much fun! Thanks girls!

4 little infected ears

I've figured out why we haven't been sleeping this week....both babies have double ear infections. Poor boys. :( The doctor said that they are both pretty bad, and couldn't believe how content they seemed when so much was going on in there. They are such good boys! And to top it all off, poor Weston STILL has his little yeast infection, which has also gotten worse in the last few days. So needless to say, after picking up 2 bottles of amoxicillin, 2 tubes of Nystatin, 2 tubes of Hydrocortisone, Probiotic Culture Capsules, some Motrin and some Tylenol, we are finally on the road to recovery! Now just pray that they sleep!

Coleson's New Smile

Our little Coleson is the proud owner of two shiny little bottom teeth! My sister in law was over and discovered them the other night. He has been such a little trooper! He's been acting completely normal- I never would have know that he was teething. There is never much of a production with Coleson, he leaves the drama to Weston!

Sort of Sitting at Seven Months

The twins are not too sure about this whole sitting thing yet. Coleson is quite a bit better at it....Weston has some trouble with that big belly in the way! They are both improving and will probably be sitting up by themselves very soon!

Okay, this isn't so bad!

Playing with toys is much easier when you are sitting!

Weston is already stealing his brother's toys...he must be learning that from the big kids!

Carter had to get in on all the action
What a good big brother!

Weighing in

We had our 6 month well check yesterday...
Weston: 18 lbs. 6 oz. (75th percentile)
27 3/4 inches (90th percentile)
Coleson: 17 lbs. 9 oz. (50th percentile)
27 3/4 inches (90th percentile)
The boys looked great! Coleson has a little ear infection, but he hasn't even noticed! The doctor said not to worry about treating it unless he has a fever or seems to be in pain. I can hardly believe my tiny "preemies" are now giant chunksters! Thank God for these healthy boys!

And while we are talking weight:
Ava: 45 pounds
Carter: 40 pounds

Our Goofy Guys

The little goof balls

6 1/2 months

Baby News: We are both approximately 17 pounds. (They go to the doctor for a check-up Friday, so I'll correct myself if I'm wrong.) We talk and laugh constantly! We love eating our baby food...even prunes! We enjoy walks, books, naps and our johnny jumper.

Weston is the quieter one that always smiles. He is very good natured and easy going..unless he's hungry! He is already a home body- he doesn't eat or sleep well when he's not at home. He is our early riser of the two and wakes up talking and squealing! Weston is a good eater, but gags if he doesn't like something... I wonder where he gets that from??!! He loves bath time more than anything...poor Coleson gets splashed and kicked like crazy!

Coleson will eat ANYTHING and probably eats more than his brother (don't ask me why he's smaller...maybe he has a good metabolism!) He needs to know you before he warms up to you, but when he does, he's such a goof ball. He loves to sleep in and sleeps right through Weston's noisy morning wake-up routine! He still sucks his thumb to get himself to sleep, and he's starting to do it more during the day. He screams and jabbers alot...usually when I'm trying to talk on the phone!

These guys have completely completed our family, and we are so blessed!

Coffee Chaos

I have coffee with a few of my high school friends once a week, and these are 4 out of our 9 kids. There are also 2 one year olds, 2 three year olds and one 6 year old...can you see why I say "chaos"!!! It is so much fun getting to see everyone so often, and it's one of the things that helps get me through the week! The older kids play really well, and the younger ones get into things really well! Sometimes we even get to talk in between chasing kids around!

Auntie Abby with Ava and Oakley

These babies have no patience!

I was busy warming up some more baby food, when I turned around and saw the boys helping each other out! If you can't have more baby food, why not suck on your brother's hand?

Mmmm
It's good, wanna try it???

They are interacting with each other so much now. They are always looking for each other and reaching for one another. I'm looking forward to them playing together and being best buds!

In the world of a 3 year old!!!

The other day, Carter and I were sitting in the living room talking. I asked him if he knew who the new president was. His eyes lit up and he replied "Sure I do! It's Michael Phelps!" I couldn't stop laughing, because he just knew that he had the right answer!
