I am sorry it's been a while since my last post. The boys are really keeping me busy now. They are 10 months old now and are playing more and sleeping less. Thankfully they still sleep through the night though.

Ethan is now weighing in at 16lb 3oz. He can sit on his own for 30 seconds or so at a time, he is rolling over a lot, today he got on his hands and knees at the same time!!!! He will be crawling in no time at all getting into all sorts of trouble!! He is also taking steps!!!!! Daddy will help him walk across the house to come see me in the kitchen.

Nicolas is weighing in at 16lb 10oz. He can almost sit on his own, he is doing better with holding his bottle and .........drum roll please...... he is starting to reach out for his toys now!!! We are SO happy to see him do this. We were worried there for a while when he wasn't showing any interest in his toys, but he has been changing rapidly this month and making lots of progress. The thing that gets him laughing the most right now is for us to clap his hands, he just cracks up at it!!! He is the happiest baby I have ever seen. He gets so excited at the simplest things like putting him down in his bed just because he knows I am going to wrap him in a blanket, he just loves a good swaddle.

Well it is late so I'm going to stop here. Feel free to leave you comments. Goodnight!!!

Some Milestones:

Ethan has been feeding himself now!!! That makes things SO much easier!!!!! I am still working with Nicolas to feed himself his bottle and did for the first time this morning!!! At first he acted like it was a game when he dropped it, so we had to teach him that it wasn't and now he's doing much better!!!!

We are starting to introduce baby food so we are  have to learn all over again how to eat/feed. Ethan has taken to the spoon and loves to put it in his mouth all by himself. I fear we will want to do that when we have food on it too and make a HUGE mess. Nicolas isn't as hands on with the spoon which will make it a lot easier to feed him.

Nicolas has been a lot more social now that he has been off this seizure medication. He is smiling a lot more and laughing and "talking"!! I want to see him want to get around more, but it will come in time I am sure. He isn't as sleepy anymore and is taking in his surroundings.

Ethan is rolling over and scooting around all over the floor. He will see his toys and try to get over to them. He still LOVES to be stood up. If he had his choice I think he would skip sitting and crawling and just stand and walk, no.... run, and skip all the other stuff.

Nicolas likes to be bounced, Ethan does not. Nicolas is ticklish...... This make for a lot of laughs!!!! They are both interacting with each other a lot as you have seen in the last video I posted.

The boys went for their first swim in the pool, I forgot my camera so I will have to wait to get the pictures from my friend. They looked so cute in their swimming outfits and hats. I think they were tired so they didn't get excited about the water, but they didn't seem to dislike it either. After they got out they took a nap on the blanket under the tree and let me soak for a bit longer.

Anyway, this is just bits and pieces of what the boys are doing now. Thanks for reading!!
