Thanksgiving was great with the boys. It was their first one, but of course no turkey was on their plates, just a little formula in their bottles. Ryan and I however ate a lot! You name it, we ate it. Turkey, meat stuffing, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, bread, cranberry sauces, and the gravy over the top. YUM! Of course we had to top it off with some chocolate and apple pie. Ryan also had a 3rd piece of pie.
It is crazy to think that last year at Thanksgiving I got up that morning and had a BFN on my pregnancy test, little did I know that 2 days later, there would be the faintest of lines. At the time, I still didn't know that there were two babies. I was anticipating only one, but I was truly blessed with two. I am excited for Christmas to get here, even though I am sure by the end of it all the boys will be super fussy.
Ryan graduates this Friday. I can't believe it is finally coming to an end for him. He is so excited. He even made Cum Ladde. I can not be more proud of him. He worked hard, and I know that this last semester was rough considering that he was at times, trying to take care of the boys, or hearing them talk, while trying to study. Honestly I can not even imagine. He amazes me. Once graduation is done, he hopefully will have a date to take is boards, then it will be job searching time. Wow the thought of two incomes in our house scares, but excites me all at the same time.
Updates on the boys, things they can do:
- Both can roll from front to back & back to front
- Both are trying to sit...Zach can do a tripod sit for about 5-7 seconds, and Christian can do it for about 3 seconds.
- Both are talking (well cooing) up a storm. They love to hear themselves talk.
- They both enjoy the jumparoo and exersaucer
- Drool -- they are both very good at that. I end up having to change them at least 2 times a day as they have soaked through their clothes.
- Chewing on their hands like crazy. I swear every time I turn around at least one of them has a fist in their mouth. It is quite amusing.
- They love to talk to each other
- They like to laugh at each other
- They love to chew on each other. Yes, chew. For example if Zach's elbow is close enough, watch out it will end up in Christian's mouth.
- They love to look at each other
- Pull each other's ears
