Jaxson loves to play in his swing and is chewing on everything these days!!
Jaden is almost crawling... he gets up on all fours and rocks. The other night he actually crawled a fewe strides, it was very cute! (he goes backwards just fine)
The boys continue to get bigger and stronger and amaze us more every day.
JADEN: Has done great this last month and is keeping us on toes while he cruises all over the house and wants to get into everything he's not suppose to! We had a close call a few weeks ago when he pulled a stocking off the fireplace and the stocking holder landed right next to his head, thankfuly it didn't hit him. He was on the ground NOWHERE near the fireplace and I went in the kitchen to rinse out their bottles and within 30 seconds he managed to get the stocking. He is getting very quick about things! He can now sit up all byhimself all the time. We are teaching him how to go from a sit into a four point so he doesn't just tip over and bang his head. He is getting better at it and getting very strong! He now can get up on all fours and is so close to crawling, he will rock his little bottom and gets so anxious to go then just plops down like he's not ready. He has took a few strides but looses his balance and falls down. I'm TOTALLY okay with him taking his time to learn how to crawl : ] My days will be even more crazy! He got over his pnuemonia just fine and has had no other allergic reactions! The allergy specialist called last week and he tested negative to all the foods he ate when his reaction occured!! It is great news but leaving the doctor a little puzzled. He said that sometimes your body will react to something one time and then it's just fine and you aren't allergic to it which he thinks is the case here. He continues to eat more solids and starting to chomp like he want to chew his few. Jaden has also got hiss two bottom teeth!!! They just started breaking the sking last week and you can see them now.... and they are sharp!! Poos baby has a sore on his tongue from rubbing it against his teeth. He is getting so big and wears 12 month clothes, I remember when preemie clothes didn't even fit and couldn't ever imagine him wearing 12 months!!! Last week he weighed 20lbs, they are starting to gain weight at a slower pace which is completey normal.
JAXSON: Is doing wonderful and is such a sweet baby!!! Jaxson is definitely the calmer one of the two and loves to be held and cuddled where as Jaden wants to be on the ground and get into everything. He is now rolling over both ways and sitting up for short periods on his own. His muscles are still very tight and he continues to recieve physical therapy once a week to work on core strength and flexibility. He is going back and forth on solid foods lately. Somedays he loves it and will eat more than Jaden and other days he doesn't want anything to do with it, which is just fine. He is at least allowing different textures in his mouth when he is comfortable and not gaging or spitting it out! This last month more fluid has built up in his testicle from his hernia surgery and it started to worry us. When they fix an inguinal hernia they don't remove all the fluid or tissue because it can be dangerous. A small amount of fluid stays in the testicle for up to a year and is normal, but Jaxson like to do everything differently : ] More and more fluid keeps building and so we finally took him in. Dr. Curnow has doen thousnads and thousands of hernia repairs and never seen so much fluid come back. Fluid usually always resolves on it's own withing 12-18 months but the problem with Jaxson's case is there is so much it makes him uncomfortable and he wont go on his tummy because of the pressure. Dr.Curnow doesn't want to wait that long andhave him be afraid of his stomach and not go on it. We have an appointment again in 4 weeks to see if the fluid goes down at all (so far it hasn't) If it is still a large amount he will draw the fluid out with a needle and hope is stays away. If it does come back he will have to do surgery again and remove all the extra tissue and fluid which can be dangerous! We are praying and hoping this wont have to happen. He continues to grow great and is wearing 6-9 month clothes, it is hard to find clothes that fit him perfectly because he is skinny with long legs. Last week he weighed 15lbs 8oz... he is starting to gain weight at a slower pace but is eating fine and not losing!
CHRISTMAS!!!! We had a wonderful Christmas with the boys, family, and friends! They were very spoiled and loved every minute of it. They got excited over their presents and did very good getting their presents unwrapped but then they just wanted to eat the paper. They got new carseats, highchairs, john deer boots, clothes, movies, and toys... more stuff than we know what to do with! We took them to meet Santa and see christmas lights on the 20th and they did very good. Jaden was all smiles with Santa but Jaxson wasn't so sure... but no tears! They loved the lights and were amazed at all the colors and how bright they were!
