What a month....
It's 6:30am, and I've been up since 5 or so. That sums up our month....
The kids have had a rough xmas this year and we hope the new year brings something better!
(That was written a few days ago... its been hard to get to the computer)
This month has consisted of doctor visits and urgent care visits. Lets go back to their well check at six months.
After that visit dad and boys got a mild cold that last a few weeks. And we manage to give it to tim and mary too. (sorry guys!) It was mostly congestion, easy to deal with. Then we get ready to fly to NH on the 19th for the holidays. Well, our flight was cancelled. So we rebooked for first thing on the 20th. But the night of the 19th was miserable for c. He was up most of the night not feeling good. Mom and him slept on the couch most of the night.
(And once again torn from the computer for a few days)
We finally make it to NH. The boys did alright on the plane, better for mom than dad. The thing that suck about flying with twins, they can't be in the same row because there is not enough oxygen mask in case of an emergency. So dad was in the back of the plane while mom was in the front on both flights. The air pressure didn't seem to bother them which was good. It was quite the ride getting there. Our tickets were only to NY. So I had to get the gate agent to book through Vermont, she had a hard time getting that to happen. She was able to right before our flight took off, but our bags were still stopping in NY. Once we landed in NY, I asked the help desk how to get our bags on our next flight without having to leave security and pick them up and recheck them within the hour. After some debate they said they will take care of it. We were slightly concern, but were relieved when we say one of the carseats going in the plane.
When we landed in VT, only one carseat and our check bag had made it. I went to the desk to see where it was. Long story short, the man was useless. So I just called the Delta airline and they very nicely informed me they had an app that would tell me where the bag was located. So we find that it was on the next flight to VT. So we needed to kill 4 hours in the small town of burlington... They did give us an awful loaner carseat so we could leave the airport. Most of our time was spent at lunch and walking VERY slowly around toys r us.
After we got the carseat, we headed home, but the rain quickly turn to ice and the road ways were a MESS. We had to drive real slow for 30 minutes or so, then everything cleared up and was smooth sailing the rest of the way.
The first night we are there G has a rough night. And to be honest the rest of the trip was hazy. I know there was one day that both boys felt miserable. They didn't laugh or giggle, they just laid there. They were running a temperature as they try to fight the cold. They manage to share their cold with grandpa too.
I called the on-call nurse to get opinions and she said it sounded like I was doing all that could be done for it and just continue to do it.
We attempted to fly back on Christmas night, but once again the flight got delayed then turn to cancel. We rebook for a flight first thing the next morning. They put us up in a hotel and give us vouchers to places that aren't even open. We get up at 4 in the morning and try to fly out. Overall it went well, just minor hiccups, like sitting on the runway for an hour cause they hadn't fueled the plan yet.
On Friday after xmas, C was still running a temp so I decided it was doctor appointment time. We went in and the dr didn't see anything wrong with c on first glance. She checked G over and heard wheezing and saw a small ear infection. So she rechecked C and found an ear infection in him too. So we got some meds and a nuebilizer.
Saturday C was miserable. He didn't eat much. Maybe one whole bottle slowly through the whole day. So I called the oncall nurse to get an opinion and she said I should take him into an urgent care to be safe. So we rolled into the urgent care 15 minutes before they closed. They quickly ran the FLU and RSV test on him and checked him out. They said he wasn't too dehydrated yet and the test came back negative. So just give him pedialyte until he can breathe through his nose better then switch back to milk.
C was able to take the pedialtye much better, and slowly began eating more through the night and on sunday. By Monday he was feeling much better but still battling congestion.
Must go help g take a nap, he doesn't want to do it on his own!

I know I know..
You all are having withdrawls of seeing cute baby pictures!
Its been absolutely crazy here. I've been on the phone for the past 3 months dealing with the VA DMV. Its a very long story- But I think its resolved... except to pay for the fines...When not calling them I have been calling the health insurance to figure out about charges. And when I am not on the phone with them, I am on the phone with shipping company to try to get a package from the west coast to the East for Anne.
So blog has been put on the back burner.
Both are G being so sweet! And look we are getting close to sitting-- He is falling in this picture though.

Doctor Visit
We had our 6 month well visit yesterday!
Calvin-
H: 25.98in (22% percentile)
W: 16lb 2oz (24% percentile)
Head Circum: 17.13in (53% percentile)
Graham:
H:25.98 (22% percentile)
W: 15lb 9oz (15% percentile)
Head Circum: 16.93in (39% percentile)
We have caught up officially!
The doctor continues to be impressed that we were 2 months early! She continously comments how quickly we caught our peers in growth. Now its time to catch them in motor skills. We are really close to sitting on our own, but need to continue to work on it.
We got 4 shots this time since we got a flu shot! Calvin handled it pretty well. But Graham seem to get more upset about them. And then stayed upset for a while afterwards.
We also discovered the love of tissue paper that's on the table at the doctor's office. We both claimed our half and preceded to draw a line by ripping it in half along that line. Then once we had our own piece, we shredded it until there was a small square left.

Six months old now! Half way through our first year!
-We full on giggle now. We have been able to for some time, but mom just finally was able to capture it on video.
-We are becoming a little better at eating solid food. We like yogurt and applesauce a lot.
-It looks likes we are going to get our side bottom teeth in first. We have been teething for a good couple of weeks. Nothing has broken surface yet, but lots of cranky days with tons of drool.
-We have been trying to sit up, we start to contract our ab muscles and try to begin to sit up, but we don't get too far.
-We STILL don't sleep through the night. We seem to be going backwards actually. We would go from 6pm-1am or 2am before needing to eat. Now it seems to be every three hours with no breaks. Let's hope this is due to growth spurt or teething.
-If we get tired we must have mom hold us now, dad just won't do.
-This month we started to go to the YMCA nursery while mom and dad work out. So far we don't seem to mind it since people will hold us there!
-G loves to play with his feet. Often times putting them in his mouth. C has just started to play with his feet.
- We are now in size 3 diapers
