The boys sure have found their appetites lately and eat SO MUCH!!! However we tried some new organic baby food and that is all they will eat now. Thank goodness Fred Myer's had a great sale on it last week and we were able to stock up because the organic is much more than regular (and food goes fast around here with two mouths to feed). They will still eat fresh fruit and vegetables which is a plus! Jaxson is doing so great with eating he will not get his O.T. anymore. We are starting to go every other week then should stop services by March. We are so proud of how far he has come with his eating!!!
Another thing the boys have learned to do is DANCE!! It is the cutest thing in the world. We put on their musical videos and they get so excited and bop their heads and wiggle. Or if you tell them "DANCE DANCE or WIGGLE WIGGLE" they will. We have to be careful and watch Jaden because he prefers to stand up and dance and gets into it a little too much and crashes to the floor. I have a video on my phone and will post it as soon as I get it emailed.
Monday we had a follow up with Dr.Curnow for Jaxson's extra fluid in his testicle and things went GREAT!! The last couple weeks the fluid has gone down a huge amount! He tolerates his tummy much better and isn't uncomfortable. Curnow said a little fluid will remain up to a year but it shouldn't come back like it did. If that does occur it is more likely another hernia and not fluid and we need to bring him back in right away, but we are very confident in Curnow's work and hoping this doesn't happen! Our next follow up is in November and making it our goal to not see him until then : ]
The boys have had continual fluid in their ears basically ever since they've been born. We have had many appointments with Elks Hearing and Balance and they finally referred us to an Ear Nose and Throat Doctor. We were referred to Jill Beck and it took us 3 months to get in, but we finally got to meet her Wednesday. She checked both the boys ears and sure enough there was still fluid build up in both. She was very puzzled that neither of them have had an ear infection but that most likely means they have good immune systems! Since the fluid is not going away on it's own they will both get tubes. If fluid stays built up for too long it can effect their hearing and even in some cases cause complete hearing loss. So... on February 23rd both the boys will get tubes and also get their tongues clipped. The little muscle underneath their tongue is attached to the tip of their tongue which causes them to not be able to stick their tongue out all the way. She said they will never be able to french kiss a girl and I said that is just fine!!!! : ] It can also cause speech problems so since they will already be out for their tubes she will just clip them then! We are scheduled for an outpatient surgery and praying everything goes great!
Well I think that is all the news we have, besides some pictures!
Jaden fell asleep in his boppy and sun bathed : ]
Last week on a nicer day we decided to get out of the house for awhile and take the boys to the park. They had a lot of fun and I think it was great for them to get out of the house and get some fresh air!!
HAPPY BOYS

This video was having some problems uploading so I'm not sure if it is going to play. It is a video of Jaxson trying to crawl and Jaden just being his cray self.
