Trevor lost his first tooth!!!!

I got some one on one time with Trevor this afternoon while the babies napped and we carved a pumpkin. He also lost his first tooth today. It was the very first tooth he got as a 6 month old. Our baby is growing up-sniff, sniff.

More pix!

These cute little POLO outfits were a hand-me-down from a mama on out twins site. They are so soft and comfy! Thanks you Tracey!!!

Of course the next day, we were well rested!

New Jammies From Aunt Judy and Jessica

Connor is left and Logan is right( with the post-bath hair)

We were happy for a moment, but alas, sleepiness set in and we weren't happy for very long.
Big brother Trevor tried to console us but we are just to tired.
Mom Snapped this just before we got fully worked up. They were crossing over the invisible dotted line with each other.
These jammies came from Aunt Judy and Jessica when we were jsut wee little things. So hard to believe we finally fit in them. They are just too cute and so very soft!

Quick updates.

The boys have had a touch of sickness after my 2 weeks of horrible bronchitis. I am thankful thiers is mild. They went to the DR on Thursday the 19th after a difficult night of coughing and breathing and Logan has bronchiolitis and a right ear infection and Connor has a viral upper respiratory infection. Logan was started on antibiotics and both boys are on breathing treatments three times a day. All in all this has been relatively mild in comparison to 5 months ago when they had 8 weeks straight of ear infections and were inconsolable. Both have been clingy and needy and irritable, but still very good babies. Both lost a smidge of weight. Connor is sitting very well now. He doesnt go for too long, but he has it down. Sometimes he will get excited and end up toppling backwards. He also will scoot on his belly backwards all over the place and he got up on his hands and knees and began rocking. It wont be too long before they are both mobile. Logan is a bit slower at this. he doesn't sit very well. We are putting him in the Bumbo seat more and hope to have him gain more upper body strength. We try to do tummy time with him but he just rolls right over and wants to be on his back. He will get there. Just a quick note to say, Big Brother Trevor turned 6 years old on Oct 17th. YAY! I will post some more pictures this evening as I am quite behind!

**********NEWS FLASH***************Connor sits for longer than 30 seconds!!!

Yes, Connor sat unassisted (except for the blanket) for about 5 minutes before toppling over. He did very well and was very proud of himself. LOGO isnt too far behind, but still needs some more time in the bumbo and boppy for help. He is getting stronger by the day!

quick update

The boys are growing so fast now. Aunt Diana weighed the boys and they are soo big! Logan- 15lb 6oz Connor-16 lb 5 oz Yay Boys!!!!

Getting bigger by the minute

Logan left and Connor Right

The boys are getting so big now. I can't wait to have them weighed again. They have a 9 month check- up here soon. Both are loving thier foods. they are having 1-2 meals a day with thier bottles and the weight is really piling on. Look at Logan and how his little face is filling out. To me, they are looking even more identical.

Both will be getting flu shots and the RSV vaccine. Monthly we will have to get these vaccines (not the flu though- just 2 shots there). Logan has a follow-up with the pulmonologist on the 24th. He will have a repeat chest X-ray to see how his lungs are doing. As he is gaining weight, he is doing better with eating. I think we blew through a lot of the 3-6 months stuff and are now getting into the 6-9 months stuff.

I challenge the boys every night with all sorts of motor skills. They are really doing well sitting up with the boppy pillow supporting them. Logan still topples over, but is getting longer and longer in length at sitting up.

We had one quick bout of sniffles and coughs, but it was mild and we are thankful. Lets hope for a smooth winter with minimal illnesses!
