Our Fighters: May 2010

So we ventured beyond the bottle this weekend......CEREAL! Landon did NOT want to be bothered with a spoon going into his mouth and started screaming. The next day.....not so bad.

Grant wasn't really sure at first but thought, "what the heck, if mommy wants me to, I will".

Drools.....the boys have become faucets and are soaking everything, their shirts, toys, our shirts, etc. Does this mean teeth are in the future??! Landon also loves to stick out his tongue, especially before you give him a kiss, but of course he won't let me capture this with the camera (except for a few "cute" ones today). Every time I get out the camera it's instant "serious face". I guess he wants to keep these moments between me and him!

My little peanut is NOT a little peanut anymore:( Daddy says I need a new nickname for Grant.

Landon-LOVES to kick!

Teddy Bears.....Now that the boys are bringing their hands together more and putting them in their mouths I thought, now might be a good time to introduce something soft. They LOVE them! Give them kisses and of course drools.

Here's a sneak peek at the nursery. Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Siegrist and Ame's Clan for supplying us with the cool items!

We've been busy bumble bees these last couple of weeks!

Easter was spent with the Siegrist clan, enjoying good food and drinks and we were even able to get in our "first" walk down the Rails and Trails on that gorgeous Sunday. Grant pretty much slept the whole trip and Landon was cranky (thankfully we put him in the front) to attend to his "pacifier" needs.

Our family's first walk!

We've had recent visits from Uncle Ryan, Aunt Amy, Aunt Sheila, cousin Katie, and GREAT grandma King. Grant continues to develop his flirting personality and sometimes you can't get a word in with all Landon's babbles.

At our 6 month appointment the boys are weighing in with Landon-13lbs11oz and Grant 12lbs10oz!!! AND they're sleeping through the night so well that we sometimes have to WAKE them up in fear that they've gone too long without eating! They're both consistently taking 5 1/2 ounces a feeding 4-5 times a day. Anyday now we're going to introduce cereal....THAT should be fun!

Grant

Landon-best shot I could get...doesn't like to be disturbed before a meal.

The nursery is COMPLETE! YEAH! Well, besides the finishing touches (pics soon). It looks AMAZING and I thank Bri for all of his hard work in making it PERFECT! The boys slept in their "big boy beds" for the first time this past Saturday night and didn't seem to mind the change from downstairs. In fact, I went in to check on them and they had turned themselves and were actually in the same exact positions, hands and all in their own cribs...crazy!

The March of Dimes walk turned out to be a GREAT success. We were able to raise over $1,000!!!!!!!!! YEAH! With half of that coming from their Great Aunt Ame! A HUGE thank you to all those that donated and walked:
