Eating

Here are the little ones eating cereal. Jacob loves it, but Weston...well you can see in the video. We're going to try carrots tomorrow. I was steaming them tonight with the hopes of having it ready, but my pot ran out of water and I scorched the pot and the carrots ended up tasting like burnt charcoal; needless to say, I would hate for their first taste of carrots to be a horrible experience, so we'll try again tomorrow. It has been such nice weather here, that we're taking a trip to the beach tomorrow. Luke found his dream camera lens at a thrift store, so we're going to walk to the beach and try it out. We had another doctor appointment for Jake today with the GI (gastroenterologist) but he didn't have much information for us until we get the genetic results back (in about a month). He did say that his liver functioning was normal which is good news. So we're just waiting to hear back from the geneticist. Enjoy the video.

First tooth!

Ready for the sun

Well, all the drooling and crankiness has payed off, Weston has his first tooth! His lower right tooth poked through today. You can barely see it, but it is there and we can feel it. It is just a matter of time before Jacob gets one too.

They can sit up on their own now. They do fall over once in a while so they have to be surrounded by pillows, but they are getting really good at it. They have started eating solid foods (rice cereal) and Jacob loves it. He picked it up right away. Weston...not so much. He just laughs and spits it out. They're ready for Hiawaii (we're more ready than they are), but they look the part. They love to be naked and suck on their toes too. They are getting to be a lot of fun. They're not sleeping very well at night so Luke and I feel like zombies...

Baby Gabe

We just got back (last week) from southern California where we spent a few days with our friend Laura. She just had a gorgeous baby boy named Gabriel River William...he is adorable. He was born on February 27, 7lbs.10oz. I told Laura to call us as soon as she went into labor. Her sister called me Friday morning at 1:30 am. Of course we were awake...(it was one of Jacob's no sleeping nights). We packed up our stuff and left the next afternoon. It took us about 8 hours to get to So Cal; the boys didn't stay occupied very well in the car but it wasn't too bad. We had a few blow ups and "i hate the car" screaming matches, but we made it. I met Gabe that night and stayed the night with Laura in the hospital the next night while Luke and the boys stayed in a hotel down the street. We stayed until Monday when she was able to leave the hospital. It was such a blessing to get to spend time with her and her new baby. She was so excited to meet Jacob and Weston. As you can see, they hit it off. I'm sure the three of them will have lots of fun growing up together. It is amazing that we have babies the same age..who would have guessed this two years ago when we met her in the park? God works in amazing ways.
