Update

The boys had their 18 month checkup. Here are the stats:

Jake -
Head - 50 = 95%
Weight - 23 lbs. 8.6 oz = 23%
Height - 32 1/2 = 60%

Ben -
Head - 49.2 = 89%
Weight - 19 lbs. 15 oz = <3%
Height - 30 1/2 = 10%

For all of you that went through Ben's little trauma with me - Thank you for all of your concern and prayers for this freaky, wigged-out Mommy. The renal ultrasound showed that everything is A-OK with his kidneys. So.....his bicarbs levels are low which is why he isn't growing as quickly as we would like. We have medicine that we give him 3X a day that should help. We have been extremely lucky to have healthy kids (I'm knocking on wood) and I thank my lucky stars every day.

Dress up

I guess this is what happens when the boys hang out with mommy all day. I was trying on clothes this morning when I turned around and saw this


Jake was walking around in my pink shoes. Ben spent a good 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get the cowboy boot on.




I hope that shoes are as far as they want to go with wearing my clothes......

Park Time

It was over 55 degrees here today (which is becoming somewhat of the norm) - we went to the park.

Playin' with the food

We went to the play area at Cherry Creek Mall - It's a bit random and crazy with all of the kids running around (not to mention the fact that they are playing on giant pieces of breakfast food), but the boys have a great time, so this is where you can find us on a Friday afternoon..


Yep, that's a piece of bacon......


And those are eggs!

Tub Time!

I've never posted any piks of the boys in the tub, simply because I thought if they ever found out I blogged their nakedness, they might be upset with me. I'm pretty sure there are enough bubbles in the tub to get me off the hook (or at least enough to make a good case for myself ).


There's nothing sweeter than two clean boys - yummy!!!!


"Look at my book mom!"


Have you ever seen anything so cute?

Christmas

Nana and Papa Wagner gave the boys a Jeep Wrangler for Christmas (a mini version of the one their daddy owns, but can't drive anymore because car seats won't fit in it - we don't talk about that very much in this house. By the way.....anyone want to buy a Wrangler?). They are a bit too short to reach the pedal, so Grandpa used a broom handle to push the pedal and Grandma steered. The boys thought this was one of the funniest things they've ever done :)


look at those smiles


Erik's sister bought the boys "little guy" sweatshirts, and a "big guy" sweatshirt for daddy.


Grandma coloring with the boys


We went to Uncle Pete and Aunt Lydia's to celebrate Christmas Eve. Dad (Grandpa) was sick and wasn't able to join us :(
