VIDEOS!

Mommy and Daddy finally got video of Alex walking.... enjoy!

Good news, Bad news

Bad news... we are sick.... just little colds right now, runny noses and lacking in sleep due to lacking in breathing ability in our noses. But no ear infections or anything, we went to the doctors yesterday morning. 

Good news. ALEX WALKS!!!!! He went 6 feet, measured distance... not steps, between Mommy and Daddy. He was so proud and confident. He has been doing it way more often now and even take initiative to do it himself. Everyone is hoping that he is a full time walker by our birthday... which is just a few weeks away! (April 4th for those of you who have forgotten already) 

Well we need to go play a little bit more before nap time. Just wanted to fill you all in on what has been going on. 

Hello

Hope everyone had a great valentine's day! We got lots of cards... which were immediately ripped to shreds. We had such a busy week this past week that we are just now getting around to updating about it.

Wed. Aunt Katie met us at Nana and Grandad's house, Uncle Ben couldn't make it cause he had to work, but Aunt Katie read us stories and played with us. Then on Saturday Aunt Maureen came over to play and spend Valentine's Day with us. She brought us this fun Thomas the Train book with sounds and flaps that fold back... which we also have been working on ripping out.

More later... its time for dinner!

Hello!

So we had fun this weekend. We went for walks with Grandma and Grandpap and Daddy, and we went to the park. Mommy was at a cake class all day so she didn't get to come with us...but next time she will! 

Monday we had our hearing tests and Alex did superb! He sat nice and still and didn't want to get down and play so he was able to do the whole test by sitting on mommy's lap and looking at the different areas of the room the sound came from. Nate didn't want to sit still... imagine that.. so he got the abridged version, so she tested enough to make sure he had the right hearing levels for learning, talking, and hearing Mommy when he gets in trouble. Both of us were in the normal range.. YAY!!!!! So now Mommy knows that we CAN hear her... we are just choosing to ignore her. The also tested for liquids in our ears, Nate's was fine but Alex had a little... but we knew he would since on Friday he Dr L said he did. So he has to go  back in 2 months and get that checked out to make sure that is gone. But good news all around for the most part. 

We are so excited about today. First of all the weather is fabulous and going to be in the 60s. But this morning we are going to Nana and Grandad's house... maybe we can go play outside a little... that would be fun! Then Aunt Katie is coming over for dinner and Uncle Ben may stop by if his work allows. YAY WE GET TO PLAY WITH AUNT KATIE!!!!! And Aunt Maureen is going to come over on Saturday to play! What a fun week we are going to have. Ok we need to go get read to go to N/G's house! 

So we didn't get to visit Jacob and Sofie today cause they aren't feeling well AND their Mommy had to work :( So after our naps and lunch Mommy took us to get new monkeys (since the ones we got from Miss Ashley and her family were very well loved and started to actually smell like real monkeys) So we went to Build-a-Bear to make monkeys..... so shouldn't it then be called Build-A-Monkey???? Anyways... Then we got hair cuts and headed home. Mommy took some pictures today and here are a few below.

update!

First of all, earlier this week we lost our Great-Grandpap G. :( Daddy went to PA with out us or Mommy to say his bye-byes. Daddy should be home tonight and we may get to see Grandma and Grandpap this weekend.

On to happier news. We just got back from Alex's doctor's appointment to check-up on his ear infection. The infection is gone, but there are still some fluids... which means he has to stay healthy for a few more weeks so the fluid can go away with out getting infected again. He didn't get officially weighed in.. but Mommy did sneak him onto the scale while waiting and fully clothed he was over 20lbs 8ozs. Also Alex has been taking more steps and yesterday walked for Miss Cheryl. Last night he took a few steps all on his own without any coaching. He just let go of the chair and took a few steps... Mommy was barely paying attention and almost missed the whole thing. So it may be finally time for Alex to be a full time walker... YAY!!!

Nate has added a few more words to his vocabulary. Yesterday he did the sign for "fish" while pointing to fish in a book... we also use the sign for goldfish snacks... yummy.. our favorite! Nate also this morning said "Kitty" and "Car"... Kitty was while pointing at Piccadilly and Car was while Mommy was pointing to a car and he mimicked what she said. Nate also is almost running and also tip-toes around.

If all goes well, after nap and lunch we may get to go over to Jacob and Sofie's and play with them at their house. If so we will make Mommy bring her camera and take pictures of us and our friends and post them. Ok time to play!
