YAY FOR QUINN AND KADEN!!!!

For the past 4 months the boys have been sleeping in our room. Due to their reflux, I was afraid to lay them flat for a long period of time. Plus their reflux would wake them up all during the night and they couldn't get their much needed rest. So we first had them sleeping in their carseats in a pak-n-play at the foot of our bed. Then when they started flipping over in their carseats and we were having to buckle them in we moved them to their little swings. The chair part of the their swings actually removes and they can either be a rocking chair or a stationary chair. So we would make them the stationary chair and that would elevate them enough so they could get a good nights rest without their reflux bothering them. Now they are starting to flip over in their chairs so we are working on sleeping in their baby beds. Last night both of them slept through the WHOLE night in their beds. Kaden has been sleeping in his off and on, but Quinn has had a harder time getting adjusted. But YAY for last night!!!! Hopefully they will keep up the good sleep habits.

QUINN LOVES HIS LITTLE BROTHER!

Last night Kaden passed out on the floor in front of the TV....while he was sleeping Quinn was just staring at his brother and laughing. Then he started trying to talk to him. It was the SWEETEST THING EVER!! He's already showing off his love for his little brother!

EASTER 2009

We spent this Easter in Marion and Greensboro all weekend. Our first stop was the MUMC egg hunt which was at 10:30 Saturday morning.

Brady had a blast hunting eggs at the Egg Hunt.

He found 33 eggs and some even had money in them.

Then it was off to Greensboro for the day.

Quinn and Kaden got Lamb ears from Aunt Jess.

This was the best pic we could get of them.

And we couldn't miss getting our picture with the Easter Bunny.

Brady got a new fishing pole, a book to read, a deer mount for his room, and a basket full of candy and other goodies from the Bunny.

A FIRST FOR QUINN.....

Last night Quinn ROLLED OVER!!!!!! YAY!!!! He went from his BACK TO HIS TUMMY. And after he did he was just smiling and laughing. He was so EXCITED and so was MOMMY!!! I was yelling and clapping for him. It's so crazy how something so small can be such a big achievement and make a mom so PROUD. Unfortunately, Daddy and Brady missed it. They were out grocery shopping. And of course after it happened, I had to call Retta, MeMommy, and Grandmommy to tell them the news.

The AFTER picture. He was so excited!!!

TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE SHALL NOT PART FROM IT.......Prov. 22:6

On Sunday, March 29, 2009, Chris and I had the Boys' Christened out our Church in Marion. Chris and I met at this Church in Youth Group and were both Baptized in this Church. So throughout the many years the Marion United Methodist Church has been a big part of our lives. Dr. Teasley performed the Christening during the normal Church Service on this particular Sunday. Everything went so nice and the boys' couldn't have done a better job. They were so good throughout the entire Church Service and they looked so handsome in their Christening Gowns. Brady joined us as well at the pulpit as these two precious little boys were welcomed into the world of Christ. After the service all our family joined us for a special lunch in honor of Quinn and Kaden at Archibald Hall at Judson College.

First Time For Carrots.......

So sense Dr. Sester told us we could start on yellow or orange vegetables, I gave the boys Carrots for the first time the other night. The did okay for their first time, but I definitely got some ugly looks from the both of them. I'm sure they will like Sweet Potatoes better!!!

AFTER THE CARROTS

4 MONTH CHECKUP

Today the boys turned 4 months old...it's so hard to believe that they are already that big. We went for our checkup today and everything went great. Kaden just talked and talked to Dr. Sester and he even laughed a few times for her. Quinn on the other hand was too interested in talking to Mommy, he didn't even care that Dr. Sester was in the room. Yes, Quinn is definitely the momma's boy. Here are all our measurements:

Quinn - 12 pounds and 1 ounce, 23 1/2 inches long, and H.C. was 15 1/2
Kaden - 12 pounds and 1 1/2 ounces, 23 inches long, and H.C. was 15 1/2

They are both in the 10th perentile for their weight and length, but in the 5th percentile for their H.C.

They each got 4 shots and yes they both cried and cried. Kaden really let it hurt his feelings. But when I left them with the sitter they were going down for a nap.

Since the boys already get cereal in their bottles, the doc said I can start them on yellow/orange vegetables. I guess this weekend we will see how that goes.

Hopefully I will get some new pics posted soon.
