April ended with a bit of a bummer-- poor little Noah got a nasty Cold and Cough that he still has--but the rest of the month we kept pretty darn busy!
In the middle of the month, the boys turned 6 months old!! I can't believe it--time really does fly.....but at the same time it can seem like eternity....
At that time, Mason weighed in at 16.1 lbs, and 26.5 inches! He was in the 50th percentile overall!
Noah came in at 15 lbs, 25 inches! He is still in the 10th percentile overall--but growing well!
Not much to report in terms of Reflux--- it is still looming, and still annoying. The boys started Solid food this month though (makes for some great pictures--and great messes!)--and the doctor said that that should help with the Reflux. I am beginning to think they are just telling me whatever to keep me from asking about it all the time. In the grand scheme--they basically just need to Outgrow it--and get a little bigger.
This too shall pass.......
Both boys are doing great with learning to roll better, spending more time on their tummies, and almost sitting.....so close!! It is really hard for them because their upset tummy and reflux often hinders their desire to sit and be on their stomach---but we work at it everyday!
Mason had a few weeks where his head was really tilting to one side---so we really worked on sitting him up, and then massaged his neck a lot--and I think he just had a really bad kink! poor dude! He is much better now.
Oh Naps......if I could express my frustration with this right now to you...your computer would spontaneously blow up in your face and then reproduce into tiny little baby computers that just rubbed their eyes and cried for an hour straight but wouldn't go to sleep.....
I just can't figure out if they are dropping a nap, or needing more sleep, etc. What's worse is that I am starting to notice different sleeping patterns in each of them---so my days of trying to keep them on ONE schedule may be changing...and they will each need their OWN schedule.....fun!!!
This too shall pass....
Overall though--they are the sweetest little boys--and becoming such cute little men! They really have defined personalities now---and it is so fun to watch them interact with each other (except when Noah is stealing Mason's toys)--and with us! So cute! I really do feel extremely lucky that I get to spend my days with them...even when on days that I am exhausted!
We are taking our first trip with the boys in a couple weeks---to visit Family in Phoenix! So, everyone pray for us at the airport---and hope that we make it without needing to down a bunch of Anxiety medication ;)
Enjoy the pics! I will probably do a post of just Videos soon....there are some pretty hilarious ones!
I wanted to get some pictures of the boys and I when I wasn't in my PJ's--so I had my mom snap a few of us playing in the yard!
Yep, those are Peas on his face. Turns out the one food Mason doesn't like so far is Avocados....which is weird b/c that is my favorite!!
Noah likes to "sit" in his bouncy chair now. He is getting so strong!
This is how you read to 2 babies at once ;)
We only have one highchair at the moment, so one baby is in that, and the other in the Bumbo chair when they eat. Noah isn't allowed in there much anymore though b/c he tries to crawl out of it and look over the side of it. He was really in to trying to crawl INTO the Fruit basket for a while....
Noah can stand against the arm of the Couch now!
This is our Rolls-Royce of jogging strollers! It is so nice--you can even hook your phone or ipod into the top and there are speakers! This will be so awesome now that it is warming up! Thanks Kyle and Natalie! (You can see Mason's head tilt he had a for a few days....poor dude!)
This is what the boys think of the doctors instructions...... (Mason throws up on them, and Noah tears it up!)
Easter Sunday at Grandma Lorrie's. Here are the boys with their cousin Karysa! (Who LOVES them by the way....she is always saying "Noah Mason, Noah Mason")
Noah helping Grandma Lorrie in the kitchen!
At about 5:45 at night--- the boys start to melt down, and we strip them down to their diapers and let them play together on the floor--and that seems to do the trick for another 30 minutes or so!
This is what happens when mommy leaves Daddy... (Notice the Earplugs)(In reality he does great with the boys!!;)
I have to give Noah a lot of toys on his tray b/c his new thing is throwing them all over the floor and making me pick them up over and over again...
Mason loves to push up really hard with his feet and almost tip over the Exerciser! (and scream of course...)
Totally zoning out after eating....
Hanging out with me while I try to do some yard work!
They love their Papa Greg!
They love to play with the little Clementine oranges when they are in the kitchen.
Mason loves to try and grab the Camera strap when I take pictures.
(I'm sure he is screaming and talking up a storm!)
With Papa Rich on his birthday at the end of March.
Aunt Jen, Karysa and Noah
We walked in the room and found Karysa trying to feed Noah his Rice cracker-- so cute!
Happy boys!
