Busy Times!

Grant & Ethan are now scooting and rolling everywhere! They are so cute and they are keeping us quite busy.
Ethan adjusts his mirrors

Look out Sierra, Grant's car only moves in reverse these days!!

It seems as if we've made umpteen trips to see doctors over the past few weeks. We've had well baby visits, sick visits, and high risk newborn visits! The well baby visits went pretty well, except for concern over both babies weights, so a follow up visit was scheduled to monitor that more closely. During that time, Ethan went for his high risk visit and they, too, were concerned about his weight, so they added a supplement to his milk. That did'nt go over too well!! Ethan doesn't want anyone messing with his milk!! Anyway, we finally got him taking that and the doctors were pleased with both guys weight gains at the follow up visit. As far as sick babies, Ethan & Grant have both been having some respiratory issues. They've just been snotty & wheezy, so they are now on breathing treatments which will hopefully be over with in three months! They are now just using an inhaler with an aerochamber (a tube with a mask to make sure they inhale the meds), but at one point they were both on the updraft (breathing machine).
Ethan and his "Bubbles the Fish" mask (Michael fixed his hair that way as a joke, I'm not sure what to say about that look!)
Grant sleeping through his treatment (it's much easier to give that way!)
Both are doing much better, by the way!!

Also over the past two months, Ethan and Grant have started going to a babysitter every weekday. Thank you Crystal and Amanda for aiding in getting that set up. She is working out great! We are so glad not to have them in a daycare facility where their chances of getting sick are so much more, and we just like the babysitter so much more than anything we saw with daycares!!

I think that about gets everybody caught up on the boys, now just for some cute shots!! (I'll try to get those posted again later today)
Well, here's one...

I also have pics of our new niece, Aubrey, but this is all I have time for right now, it's taking forever to upload these pics... maybe I can get another hour of sleep in before the guys wake up!! (or maybe one is waking up now... please go back to sleep... maybe... not yet, but he's quietly kicking the bed and not crying, there is still a chance he'll go back to sleep on his own...

  1. Thanks Kara! They are so cute! And the look to be growing just fine to me... :) I know how you feel with the breathing treatments. We have our very own penguin nebulizer and both kids have used it at times. It's tough when they're small, but they will probably get used to it as time goes by and for the next 3 months it should keep them pretty clear. Will they be eligible for flu shots?
