Some of what we've been up to

It's been WAY too long since I've posted anything on here. I guess the days go by fast when you have kids. The days just seem to fill up quick! The boys are doing very well and growing way too fast! Ethan is a crawling machine and gets around so quick. He pulls himself up on everything and has even taken a few steps holding onto the furniture. Cohen is not crawling but gets around quick!! He rolls or scoots to where he wants to go and he's so quick it's scary!! We are still working with a physical therapist trying to get him crawling and to loosen up his stiff neck muscles. Cohen also recently (Saturday) got his first haircut at a salon. It's a just for kids place called Cookie Cutters and they were great there. He was such a good little boy and didn't cry or anything. Just smiled and was happy sitting in his little taxi while the lady shampooed and then cut his hair. He looks more like a little boy now and not as much like a baby. :(

Cohen's head is making great progress since he's had the helmet. It's hard to believe that he's already been in it for 2 months now. We are very happy with the results so far. He is still doing very well with it and we are so proud of him. We also have Ethan's second (and hopefully final) surgery scheduled for November 16th. We are glad that it should be the last surgery. Of course we are nervous and anxious about it but we have a lot of faith in the doctors and nurses at Children's so we know that he will be in good hands.

We've been taking the boys to the pool almost every weekend and they really love it. They are such little water babies. We've even dunked them under a few times (which I was afraid to do at first) and they were fine with it. We've also just been taking them to the park here and there to go on the swings and go for walks.

We leave to go to Canada on October 2nd and I am SO excited about that. I haven't been home in almost two years now so I miss everyone that I didn't get to see last year when the boys were born and of course I just miss my family so much. I'm a little nervous about flying with the boys but I think we'll be OK. It will be the 1st birthday on October 7th so they will be having a birthday party up there which will be a lot of fun. It will be so great to see my friends little ones who I haven't got to meet yet.

Below are a few pictures of the boys. Take care. :)


Cohen is going to be a pumpkin for Halloween! We couldn't wait to try them on them!

Ethan is going to be a turtle for Halloween!!





Ethan just laid in Cohen's lap like this this. He's always been cuddly toward Cohen ever since they were itty bitty babies. Cohen always seemed like he could care less!! :) He'd rather laugh at his brother from a distance!!

Ducky was playing with Ethan because attached to the string is a helium filled balloon!
Looks like he wants to escape.
Hello mama!
Just before he figured out he could pull himself up to a stand.
