Daddy was feeding us dinner and Alex said a new word spontaneously...... when Mommy got back from the gym she got him to do it for the camera... it just took him a minute to say it again.

Weekend Update
We had a busy weekend this weekend. First of all yesterday we went to music class... AND MOMMY CAME WITH US! So you all know what that means... VIDEOS!!!!!!! They are short... but hey.... we finally got video.
After music class we went to Nana and Grandad's and guess who was there... go on... guess.... UNCLE STEVE!!!!!!!! We were so excited. Then Aunt Courtney, Uncle Todd, Kerrington and Felix came over as well. We celebrated Nana's birthday a week early. Then today it was nice so we ran around outside with Mommy, Daddy, Jacob, Sofie and their Daddy Mr. Michael.

Grandma and Grandpap came down on Sunday night and stayed till Tuesday while Mommy was in Milwaukee, we had tons of fun, we went to the allergist but their computers were down so we have to go get some blood work done (gulp!) to see how allergic we are to things. We haven't gotten any pictures from Grandma's camera yet... but when we do we will post them.
We have a bunch of videos to post... those will go up as soon as we can get them loaded on to youtube.

March of Dimes
Hi everybody. Nate and Alex's Mommy here. I just saw this article on the front page of CNN.COM - http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/04/premature.infant.deaths/index.html - and it absolutely broke my heart and reminded me how blessed, lucky, fortunate... however you want to describe it.... we are that we have BOTH Nathaniel and Alexander here with us today. Nate and Alex were born at 26 weeks.... 14 weeks before their due date... nearly 3 and 1/2 months early! That's an ENTIRE trimester!!
Last year I (with your much appreciated help) personally raised over $2000 and was #5 top walker in the Baltimore 2009 March for Babies. I know that the 2010 walk is still at least 7 or 8 months away, and the March of Dimes hasn't even released websites for teams yet to start raising money for it. But I have already decided to set my goal huge this year. I am hoping to raise $4,000 this year. $1,000 for every month my boys were in the NICU fighting for their lives. I know we can do it together.
So here is what I am asking for you. Let's truly make this year a "March of Dimes". I know last year a lot of you wanted to help me reach my goal, but the "wonderful" economy didn't allow you to. This year I am asking you to do what I did last year, throw your spare change into a jar. If you put even just a dime every day aside for the next 7 months, that over $20. And that's just for a dime a day.... imagine how much it could be if you threw in a few quarters, and nickles, and pennies.... plus a dollar or two you find in your winter coat when you pull it out as it starts to get colder. Last year I counted my change (and cash) Chris and I had thrown into a jar by my front door, and it was well over $100. Some days I would be wanting Starbucks, but instead of spending $3 on a coffee, I would go home and drop a couple dollars into the jar. Every penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar helps.
Please pass this blog entry on to EVERY one you know, moms, dads, grandparents, brothers, sisters, in-laws, friends, co-workers, church members, classmates, neighbors, your favorite Great Aunt Martha (hi Aunt Martha!), post it on Facebook, myspace, twitter, your blog, everywhere and anywhere you can. Also - just made yet another new blog, because this one and my baking isn't enough apparently - please come follow my progress to reach my incredibly high goal at - http://teamtwadsquad.blogspot.com/ Thank you so much for your support as well as all the constant love, prayers and well wishes that get sent out to my two wonderful sons!

Grandparents, Pop-Pop, Doctors... oh my!
What a busy week we have had! Tuesday night we went to Nana and Grandad's house with Mommy and spent the night. Wednesday morning we went to Pop-Pop's again and visited him with Mommy and Grandad. This time they got smart and locked us into our strollers... though we did get to climb on Pop-Pop and his wheel chair... and we attempted to play with the tv, phone, remote controls, sink, toilet.... you know... the usual.

Yesterday Grandma came to visit us and while she was here Mommy took Alex to a head specialist from Johns Hopkins University to see why his head is so small. They met Daddy at the doctors office and Alex had tons of fun exploring the exam room. He was such a good boy and didn't get into too much trouble, though he did try to throw away Mommy's car keys a couple times. But it was good news all around. Nothing is wrong with his head medically, he will probably just have a smaller than average sized head due to the helmet and just being a small guy.

So word on the street is that Grandma is here for the weekend and Grandpap is on his way into town as well. YAY! We will have lots of fun.... as long as it doesn't ran.... oh and who turned on the chill? Mommy has been pulling out long sleeved shirts and sweaters and our long pants. Does that mean it's almost Christmas?
