On the Move ~ December 14, 2009

My worst fear has arrived... Ryan is moving. I know, it was going to happen eventually... but now life gets much more interesting.

Ahhh! TV Remote!

Ooey Gooey ~ December 12, 2009

Oh the joys of baby food! At least now I have semi-control over the amount of mess the boys make. When they get to the point of feeding themselves, that will be a completely different story! Peanut sure does love this though. She has been getting some cheerios and sweet potato puffs from the boys. Amazingly, Ryan has switched and become my good eater and Matthew has decided that he doesn't like to open his mouth for solids now. But the last couple of days have been a little better with Matthew... maybe this is a teething thing?

If you look closely you can see the teeth cutting through on both boys. Matthew is getting a second tooth already, his bottom left. Ryan has been up a lot the past few nights, and we are hoping this is just from the teething pain. They were sleeping so well before... maybe waking (to the point where I have to get up) once or twice in 8 hours.

Tub Time ~ December 9, 2009

So, we have two teethers now. Ryan has a tooth visible also, looks like his bottom right is going to cut soon. Now it makes sense why he always has to be chewing on something, including his brother's arm/leg/shoulder. Matthew's bottom left has cut, pretty soon he will have a toothy smile.


We gave them their first tub bath the other night. Ryan had a blast with all the toys and he really loved to splash around. We realized we need the no slip stickers before we try a bath again, because they got pretty slippery especially when they got excited. Here's a video of that. Peanut liked all the toys too and decided she needed a bath after the boys were done. She wasn't as excited about the bath as soon as she realized she didn't get to play with the toys too.


According to the ped's office visit yesterday, Matthew weighs 19 pounds 11 oz, and Ryan is 19 pounds 3 oz. But that was fully clothed, probably with a wet diaper also. ;) I estimate them to be around 18.5 pushing 19 pounds... still growing great!

A Sitter and a Belly Surfer ~ December 1, 2009

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We definitely did, although it was busy, and the drive doesn't get easier... The boys are pretty good in the car, but after 12 hours, I can't blame them for getting a bit cranky and wanting out of the carseats!

The boys will be seven months old on Saturday, and growing so fast! Matthew is sitting unassissted pretty well now, although he still tends to topple over just when you aren't watching.

Ryan sits ok... he falls more than his brother, but that's probably because he doesn't get as much practice. Ryan is so comfortable on his stomach that usually I let him play on his stomach while I watch Matthew sit... it's a bit hard to watch them both sit up at the same time, unless of course daddy is home. I call Ryan my "belly surfer" because he spins all the way around on his belly and is starting to push himself backwards. It won't be long (I am thinking by Christmas the latest) he will figure out how to move forward.

Note the onesies in the pictures above... our friend Kirk and his sister bought them for the boys. I had them in the onesies for Halloween day, but had to get them in them again before they outgrew them. They are so cute!

Matthew is definitely getting a tooth. I thought I saw some white on the trip home on Saturday and today it is definitely there... it looks like he will have his first tooth in a few days... his bottom right. Amazingly he hasn't complained too much, except for today and yesterday, and he only cries when he bites on something hard. I could have swore Ryan would have cut the first tooth... he has been so cranky and mouthing everything in sight for months.

Here are some links to videos I uploaded of the boys to YouTube. I can't upload them directly to the blog anymore (or just haven't figured out how yet).

This video is of Matthew and Grandpa Peterson. He kept pulling Grandpa's hand back to his mouth to talk some more.

The next video is of my belly surfer in action. Matthew is making noise in the background. :)

Hope you enjoy them!
