Teething, Tumbles and Tears

Now that the Boys have mastered pulling up on everything, each day they get a little braver.  Jackson holds on to the couch with one hand and Brooks is stepping between two chairs in the kitchen.  But with all this bravery comes tumbles, falls, bumps and tears.  And today has been no exception, between teething and falling it's been a tough day. 

But after their baths they were all smiles and I was able to capture them playing together. 

A few updates on the Boys:

Jackson should get his helmet later this week or next week.  He will then have a 10 day break in period which will transition him into wearing it 23 hours a day.  He has to wear it 2-3 months; I'm hoping it's off by his 1st birthday.  I'll post pictures of him in his new hat in a couple of days.

We found out a couple of weeks ago that Brooks is tongue tied.  This explains why he had trouble nursing, drinking from a bottle early on and now from a sippy cup.  His surgery is scheduled for August 26.  

The Boys and I are super ready for Fall.  All this heat has us trapped indoors and we are in need of some fresh air.  I just keep telling myself that in about another month we can get outside and resume our walks.

My cousin, Kelly, has made several commercials and this one is currently running here in Oklahoma City.  Check her out.

Wordless Wednesday - Jackson Giggles

Working the Vocal Cords

Jackson's new thing is to squeal.  Have a listen. 



I have a few more videos to post.  Hopefully, I'll get to them tomorrow.

A First

Last night while we watched the Oscars (I love the Oscars), Brooks was diligent about working on his roll over skills.  He would roll to his side and then get mad because he couldn't make it all the way over.  Then he he would roll back to his back and rest.  Then go at it again.  He never made it all the way over, but we knew he was close. 

This morning I laid Brooks on his back while I was getting ready for work.  When I came back to check on him he was on his belly.  He rolled over and I missed it!  I was super bummed, but I'm sure it won't be the first thing I miss. 

Now it's Jackson's turn, which shouldn't be too much longer. 

I can't believe how fast they are growing; next week they will be 4 months old.

I love these little guys!

Sing-A-Ma-Jig

Have you ever heard of or seen a Sing-A-Ma-Jig? They are free-spirited, off beat characters that sing in harmony and the Boys each got one for Christmas from Grandpa and Brini. If they are fussing or bored, I just whip out the Sing-A-Ma-Jig and all is well; they are completely mesmerized by them.

I only captured Brooks on video; Jackson was asleep and I was not going to wake him!

Got Milk?

Here is a video Trent took of Jackson rooting around...all he could only find was his brothers head.

Pretty cute!




They went to the doctor yesterday and in 10 days they each gained 1 lb. Jackson now weighs 6 lbs 6 oz and Brooks weighs 6 lbs 3 oz. Way to GROW Boys!

I love this video!

Since I haven't ventured to the outside world with the boys yet I haven't received this full peppering of questions, however I did get A LOT of them while I was pregnant.

My favorite question in this video...

Which one is your favorite? Answer: The one that isn't screaming.

Enjoy!
