We took a trip to Longwood Gardens last weekend while Aunt Trisha was up for a visit. It was a beautiful day so we spent some time looking at the tulips! Here are few photos from the trip!

A Sunday in the Park

We took the boys to the park a few weeks ago. Carter loved the swing but Jacob was crabby and he really didn't have a good time. I think he was really tired. We will have to try again soon!

Update

The nine month appointment went well.

Weights: Jacob is 19 pounds 1 ounce and Carter is 17 pounds 12 ounces.

Dr. Devon says they look good and the best news was they didn't need any shots! And they don't go back until they are a year old! I can't believe we are almost there!

We also went to Jefferson Hospital on the 16th for Carters EEG. He really screamed..he hated having all of the electrodes put on his head...but once they were on, he went right to sleep. The following week we went to see his neurologist for the results and it was normal! So he is being weaned off of his phenobarbital and then he will be medication free! We are so happy!!!

Jacob has been pulling up on everything and thanks to Grandma we have a new playard so that they don't get hurt. We have it set up in the basement and hopefully it will help with the scratches and bruises from falling into the furniture!!!

Will post more pictures soon!!

February pictures

Jacob is getting ready to be on the move. He did lots of plank positions until he figured it out! Carter is starting to get the hang of sitting upright...and he loves the spinning toy!

We spent many days inside because of some horrible snow storms...but we managed to get a couple of shots of the boys in the snow! They didn't care for it too much!

And the last picture shows the really cute shirts that Michelle made for them. They looked so cute in them!!

January pictures

We had the boys baptized on January 10th. All the family was able to be there which was nice. Trisha, Austin and Patty are their godparents. We had an excellent lunch after at Carol Williamson's house to celebrate the boys! It was a great day!

9 Months Old!

I can't believe that the boys are 9 months old! They are both doing great!! We go to the pediatrician later today for their check up and I will update the blog with weights and heights. (and pictures)

Jacob is crawling...everywhere! This past week he has been picking up speed and now we are on to trying to pull up on things. This is not fun...he is scaring himself and hurting himself and crying alot. Hopefully this will pass soon...

Carter is doing excellent things. We started with a physical therapist in January who has helped immensely these last few months. He has learned to roll in both directions and he does this constantly to get to toys. He now much prefers to be on his back to his tummy which isn't the best since we would like to see him strengthen his arms. He is sitting up for short periods of time since 8 months. He isn't extremely steady but once he finds his balance he can sit for up to 5 minutes without falling over. He is also wanting to pull up on things...so I am sure that it won't be long before he is crawling around too!

I will post some pictures soon!
