Growing and Growing

Our little guy is growing and growing every day!! 
I had forgotten to post our last doctor visit... According to the charts Cole is doing awesome!  He has his own little chart that they go by because he was early so he doesn't follow the normal 40 weeker scale.  I kept wondering why his numbers looked different and when people would say "my child is in the 90% etc.." I couldn't figure out what he was, then she told me he can't be compared to that chart.  So I will just make up my own and say that he is in the 100% lol. 
Anyway his numbers were great.  He is now 15 lbs 2 oz and 27" long! 
I can't believe that he was only 5 lbs 3 oz and 18 1/2" long when he was born 7 1/2 months ago.  Wow how time flies!!! 
We have started him on meats this past week.  It is hilarious to watch the faces he makes when I give him chicken.  (I'm sure all of you out there that have had children are bored with this and think yea I know I've been there, please bare with me as it is all new to me.)  :0)
I can tell that he really does not care for the chicken however he eats it (sometimes I pretend to please me) because he knows that he will get a spoonful of yummy sweet potato after each spoonful of chicken; which he really likes.  I know I mentioned starting him on hummus but I keep forgetting and I don't want to completely overload the poor kid.  I have a tendency to bombard him with lots of new things forgetting that he needs time to adjust between each item.  Heeheehee
Well next week we are heading out to CA so I will let you know how he fairs in the hotel and beach arenas.  (he is a child that seems to have a hard time sleeping in areas other than his own room) Why oh why couldn't he be more like my mom said I was as a baby, curling up in any corner to go to sleep if I was tired?!! (instead he seems to have inherited my monkeyness, you know the ability to do just about everything with your feet as if they are hands, I know you were thinking looks weren't you!  He will be climbing trees before we know it!!)

Happy 4th of July weekend to all!!

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Image
Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!

Almost a week...

Image
It has been almost a week since I said Goodbye... Last Saturday was probably the second hardest day of my life so far, it was the day that I had to say goodbye to my beautiful Neon of 13 1/2 years. My mind was and has been flooded with so many memories since that day.  I got Neon through the Guide Dog program to raise as a seeing eye dog.  He was special because they had brought him in from NY so that he would become a breeder with the CA program.  I remember the day I received the news that my puppy was here and I was getting a golden!  I arrived at the puppy ceramony Dec. 21, 1997 and fell in love for the first time in my life!!! Neon was only 8 weeks old when I got him.  He went everywhere with me... movies, restaurants, college, etc.. until he was 18 months old at which time I had to return him to the program (and I thought I would never see him again).  I received a call from the school about 6 months later letting me know that they were releasing Neon from the program because of

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us
