***This just in Parker weighs 14lbs 3oz and Jesse weighs 15lbs 13oz...chunky monkey indeed...***
They started eating some solid foods at the end of October. So far their favorite is sweet-potatoes. I have made about half of their baby food. It somehow seems more worth the time when you have 2. They just eat their baby food in the evening before their last bottle. So, it's more like an appetizer than a meal. They eat about 6-8 oz per bottle these days.
They are still sleeping at night really well. And they have started to nap better. They usually take at least one long nap either in the morning or the afternoon, but very rarely both. Parker does wake up early in the morning sometimes, but he seems to back the our "normal" schedule this week. Jesse is our sleepy boy and we almost always have to wake him up in the morning. Which is awesome. He even wakes up happy when you get him up...even better.
The boys got to have the first expedition to "Deer Camp" where Todd showed them various antlers and what size were the one to shoot.
The Curran family had a shower for the boys and they received so many nice things. They even got some ornaments and stocking with their names on them.
Parker & Jesse were baptized at our church Faith UMC on November 25th. It was so nice to have so many of our family, friends and church family there. Pastor John has been their for us throughout all our struggles and he also baptized Eleanna. I'm sure that was a special day for him as well.
So far for the holidays they went to see Santa they did not cry. I think they told him something about toys...
We also had super cute pictures taken of them by a high-school friend of mine Tamara Roach. They turned out so good.
Parker aka "cheeser" is all smiles these days and is a mover and shaker. Sometimes, I just don't know how he does it, but hell move 3 feet from where you left him in like 2 seconds... He rolls both ways very well and loves his feet. He's always kicking them, grabbing them, sticking them straight up in the air. He doesn't crawl yet, but he has his ways to get where he wants to go. He loves his toys, play-mat and bouncy seat.
Jesse is much more laid back. He too is moving around a bit. He'll roll over when he wants to. He love to play on the play-mat. He especially likes these little toys that you pull on and the shake when you let go. He still is the one that laughs the most. His giggle is contagious. Of course every-time I try to get it on video he stops... Both boys are to a point where they like to know where the other on is. Especially, when we are in a crowd.
I'll be back later to update what the NICU clinic has to say...
