So I am trying to get a post in before July gets here! We are just a few weeks away from the boys first birthday!!! I can't believe that they will be a year old!
The boys are doing great. Jacob took his first steps earlier in the month. Just three steps but not much more. He is so close to walking....he is into everything he can find. He is extremely independent. He is happy to play alone and he doesn't want your help during meals. He wants to feed himself. He loves pretty much anything you give him. Thank goodness....so far no picky eaters!
Carter is good! He started his water therapy and it seems to be helping. He is a great swimmer. He absolutely loves the water. He is army crawling all over the place and he is pulling himself up on toys. He doesn't have much balance but he really wants to do what Jacob does. He is very stubborn and I think he is a little lazy! He wants us to do everything for him...but the good news is that he can do alot...even if he doesn't want to!! He is eating alot more table foods now. He still has a little trouble and we have to feed him but it is so much better than before.
His therapy sessions seem to be really helping. He was given a developmental exam on the 21st by therapists at Bryn Mawr Hospital. They said his gross motor skills were at 7 months, fine motor skills were at 6 months and his communication skills were at about 9-10 months. So he is behind but not terribly so. Looking forward to hearing what the Special Babies clinic says about him next month at Jefferson!!!

End of May already
So I haven't been any better at updating!
The boys are doing well....getting bigger all the time.
They went to the YMCA last week for Carters first water therapy. It was difficult to get them both there and dressed by myself but we did it and they had a great time in the pool. They were giggling and splashing the whole 45 minute session. We will be going every other week to help with Carters physical therapy. He is army crawling now...not consistently but he is working on it. He cut his first tooth this past Sunday and from the looks of it he will have a mouth full very soon!
Jacob is pulling up on everything and is minutes from taking his first steps alone. I will be surprised if he isn't walking in a week or so. He is very brave! He is into everything so we have to keep a close eye on him! No teeth yet for him but I don't think we are far. He also has a great appetite and will eat anything we give him. He loves to feed himself!!!
We are starting to plan their One year Birthday Party! I can't believe that a year has gone by already! Stay tuned for pictures. I will try to get some up soon!
Memorial Day weekend is here and we are getting ready to make a trip out to Gettysburg to see Alexie play in a soccer tournament. Hopefully we will get some pictures while we are there!

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!!
