UPDATE!!!

I've been having trouble uploading pictures on the blog lately so there is no pictures today. : [
Things have been going great with the boys and we enjoying them so much!!!
HALLOWEEN- This year the boys had a pretty low key halloween but looked so cute. They were peas in pods and did so good in their costumes. There was only a few times they got too hot and fussy. We made our rounds to the grandparents and great grandparents then just came home for the evening.
ZOO- My nieces birthday was on November 2nd and it was a beautiful day so we decided to take all the kids to the zoo. The boys didn't really know what was going on but they loved being outside and were mezmorized by all the leaves and colors. They were so good and smiles the whole time. It was a great first trip to the Zoo.
JAXSON- Jaxson is continuing to get physical therapy once a week and we just got a letter he is approved for occupational therapy as well. He will get seen by the occupational therapist once a week also for 6 months then at that time they will re evaluate him to see if he gets approved for longer. He is starting to not be so tense and is so close to rolling over from his back to tummy. He doesn't like his tummy time very much and always rools over to his back right away. He is scooting himself around very well and is reaching for toys much more. If they are placed beside him on the ground he can now reach across his body to get them. We are working on sitting up and keeping his legs straight for balance. He is a little wiggle worm and is not interested in sitting up. I think it tickles the back of his legs when we straighten them out cuz he giggles the whole time we are helping him sit up, it is pretty cute!! : ] We are still working on solids with Jaxson but he isn't liking the texture still. He seems to tolerate apples the best in very small amounts. We aren't forcing solids on him and only give them if he accepts it without gagging or spitting it out. Last Tuesday Jaxson got his hernia fixed and everything went great! He was scheduled to get his surgery at 9 but Dr.Curnow had a late night and had to push it back to 11 (he was late for the 11 appointment too and Jaxson didn't get back until 12:30). Jaxson did great while we waited in the pre-op for hours (we arrived at the hospital at 7am) . He hadn't had anything to eat since 3am and was a very patient baby for how starving he was. The surgery was suppose to take about an hour but it ended up being 3. He had a hernia on his right side and Curnow went in with a camera to check if he was likely to get one on the left side and he was. He fixed them both so he wouldn't get the left one pushed out at a later time and go through all this again. Jaxson had a little bit of trouble waking up after surgery and the nurse gave him some extra Tylenol Codine he wasn't suppose to get which made him VERY sleepy. He had to take a bottle before we could take him home but we couldn't get him to stay awake to eat. He was breathing fine so the nurse said if we felt comfortable taking home like this we could because it could be hours before the Tylenol wore off and he was really alert. After a long day in the hospital we decided to take him home. He slept until about 7pm and we were able to get 2oz down him before he fell right back to sleep. He woke up again around 10pm and took 2 more oz. And at 3:30am he was wide awake and ready to go. Not very fun for me after being exhausted from the day before but I got up with him and played for a little bit and back to sleep he went after about an hour. The next morning Jaxson was all smiles and in such a great mood! You would have never know he just had surgery. He has been doing really well since then and has his follow up appointment on Monday. He is such a strong baby and gets through everything like it's no big deal, we are so proud of how tough he is. : ]
JADEN- Jaden is doing great and getting closer and closer to crawling everyday... yikes : / When he is on his tummy he gets his whole chest and sometimes tummy lifted off the ground. He is rolling around like crazy and ocassionaly toppling over on brother (although Jaxson has learned to kick his legs in deffense when Jaden gets close). He has been doing great on eating and eats solids 3-4 times a day. Rice cereal for breakfast, apples or banannas for lunch, and sweet potatoes or carrots for dinner. He has got really interested in food and smacks his lips if we are eating infront of him. Last week for the BSU game my mom was holding him and eating chili and he kept licking his lips and opening his mouth everytime she took a bite. By the time my mom was done Jaden's shirt was soaking wet with slobber, funny boy... he loves his food!!!! We have been working on sitting up with him as well and he is doing really good. Just in the last couple days he has been able to sit up by himself for 30 seconds to a minute. He looks like such a big boy when he does this. He loves playing with his toys and throws them around now which is not good when he is next to Jaxson. Usually once a day he cries from hitting himself in the head with his toys. I tell him if he plays nice this wont happen but he doesn't seem to understand me for some reason : ]
BOTH: Overall the boys are doing great at making milestones and we are so proud of how far they have come. They are the happiest babies and are always smiling or giggling. Lately they think it's funny when they hear brother laugh so one will giggle then the other and it is the cutiest thing ever! Now that they can scoot and rool they bang up on each other often. Lots of fingers to the eyes, scratches, head bangs.... We try and put them on the ground far apart but they always seem to end up right on top of each other. Oh and one other thing they are doing is grabbing their toes. They think this is the coolest thing and even manage to suck on them at times. I will have to say toes are the best toy!!! : ]
