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. 

Tramatized

We were told we were done with it, that it would be a loooooong time before we would have to go through it again, we were talking months... maybe years..... BUT YOU LIED!!!!!!! We had to go get blood drawn yesterday for our allergy tests. We went last month for our thyroid issue and was told that since that came back looking good we wouldn't have to go through the pain and agony of giving blood again. Alex went first and cried and cried and cried some more. It took about 5 minutes for Mommy to calm him down again. Even then he sat in the stroller whimpering. Nate cried and faught Mommy while she tried to hold him down to give blood, lucky for him this time they only had to poke him once. Mommy said when we were all done and calm again that it would be a while again before we have to give blood.... we will believe it when we see it.

Our newly married Aunt Katie (aka Miss Katie.... aka Nate's Godmama) came to visit on Tuesday. We showed her all of our neat tricks and she took us on a walk with Mommy to Subway for lunch. We did go in our cribs for a little bit to allow them to have some adult time while they looked at wedding pictures and talked about Costa Rica. But of course we knew when she was getting ready to leave and whined to come back down stairs..... and it worked.

We have been getting back to a normal schedule this week. Mommy goes to band camp for an hour after Daddy gets home, but other than that it has been pretty boring. On Saturday we are going to Nana and Grandad's house to hang out with them all day. YAY!

Nate's walking is improving he can take more steps now before falling down and Alex is just starting to figure out cruising.

Weekend Update

Hey Everyone!!!
We hope you had a great weekend. We certainly did! Friday Dada got home from work and he and Mommy packed up the car, they had put us in our cribs with some dinner and we fell asleep. After loading up the car M/D decided to wait till morning to leave for Grandma and Grandpap's house. Dada was tired from working all day and Mommy was exhusted from making a 3 tiered cake for the retirement party. It looked awesome... we wanted to play with it... that didn't happen. So Saturday morning we left for West Virginia, Nate slept the first half and Alex slept the second half. It was really foggy when we first started out on the road, but cleared up about an hour later. Lots of cops on the road too... but we didn't get pulled over. It would have been cool though.

Got to Grandma and Grandpaps house, we got to hang out with them and we tried to help set up for the party, but they wouldn't let us. Nate found a piece of onion on the floor and tried to eat it, Grandma and Daddy noticed before he got to swallow it. It was YUCKY! Great Aunt Helen and Great Uncle Bill and Aunt Heidi and Dave showed up and played with us as well. We got bathed and put into our cute outfits (Seriously though... any outfit is cute on us... we are THAT cute!) Then a ton of people showed up. Alex fell asleep and missed the first part of the party, so Nate worked the crowed and got them warmed up. Alex finally joined us and was a little shy at first, but he did just wake up and after a nap there is nothing better than being held by Mommy. After a couple minutes we were tag teaming the crowed, Nate was pulling magazines out of the stand and Alex would lay there reading them, everyone loved it. We got passed around to so many cool people, most of them were teachers. We did go to bed at one point... but that didn't last long. We are true party animals and stayed up till that last person left.

We woke up on Sunday at 6am, we ate breakfast and then fell back asleep. M/D woke us up at 9 and put us in the car to go home. Nate slept for the second half of the drive but Alex didn't fall asleep till we got home and put in his crib. We had a fun weekend!

Last night while Dada was playing with Nate and Alex was napping, Nate stood up on his own for 10 seconds. M/D thinks he will be walking on his own by next month!

Today our physical therapist, Miss Sheryl is coming to check on us, and we will probably be going to the grocery store at some point as well.

Alright, time for a nap before Miss Sheryl gets here.
