roll boys roll...

Jaden has rolled over!!! What an exciting moment. Little Jaxson is so close but just hasn't figured out how to get over his shoulders yet. Thursday when Jaxson's physical therapist was here she showed me how to put the boys arms underneath them during tummy time and it gives them more support to hold their heads up. So that night when I put them down for tummy time Jaden rolled over just seconds after putting his arms underneath him. He is able to get his whole head up off the ground and when he gets to rocking over he goes!! The first time he did it I was shocked, I almost wasn't expecting it! Dad missed it but Jaden rolled over twice Friday night for both of us! Jaxson prefers to try and roll over from his back to his stomach where as Jaden goes from his stomach to his back (his tummy is too big to try and pull over his body : ] ) Jaxson is so close but just needs to figure out how to get over those little shoulders of his. He will get all his body over him and then just look around like what do I do now? For now I help him the rest of the way until he figures it out on his own which shouldn't be long. The boys are starting to find their voices and "cooing" a lot more. They like to have little conversations every once in awhile and it's pretty entertaining! When they first started doing it more I would just think they were fussy and always gave them their binkys (which they took because they never turn down their binkys), but now I just let them coo for awhile until they really do get fussy. Jaden is also learning how to get his binky back in his mouth all by himself. Last night he did it twice!! Jaxson will pick it up then just wave it around for a little bit. He will try to put it in his mouth but most the time he has it backwards and it doesn't work out so well... silly boy!! I can't wait for them to start getting giggles, they are so close. They will get these really big smiles and take a breath in like they want to giggle but aren't sure how to yet. I just can't get over how big they are getting and how they are learning so many new things! Each day they get more personality and find a new way to make us laugh!
Jaxson's physical therapist was here Thursday and he weighed 7lbs 5oz (up 3oz from Tues.) We got a new physical therapist that also works with babies that breastfeed and we like her a lot! She actually worked with the boys great grandpa Dale about 5 years ago. She is very pleased with the direction Jaxson is heading and thinks his strength is great! She was working with him on his tummy and he would just lift his head up and look around for about 2o seconds like it was no problem. His mouth is still tight and we continue to do oral exercises with him. He is still doing good off of his oxygen and just mainly needs it for feeds. When he breastfeeds he does well but with a bottle he doesn't have as much control over the flow and doesn't always breathe the best so he uses his oxygen every time for his bottles! There has been a few times where I have put it back on him just so he could relax. He doesn't really de-sat much but he will just breathe a lot faster and just seems to be working too hard but once he gets back on his oxygen he is just fine.
We are so proud of our little boys and love watching them grow and thrive to learn more everyday!! We are some very lucky parents...


the boys being cute as ever!!
