:::taps microphone::: Is this thing on???

Published by Kerry | Filed under Uncategorized

Oh man.  I never, in a million years, thought I would go FOUR WEEKS without posting anything on our blog – although I have to admit that it has been nice not feeling guilty or obligated to post pictures, stories, etc, every week!  So many things have happened in the last month – from my sis moving to Denver (YAY!), which I partially blame on my blogging hiatus, to Max and Wes turning 15 months old and Wes starting to WALK while I was in Puerto Rico on a girls trip (video to follow). 

I should add that while I was super bummed that Weston decided to start full-on walking while I was out of the country, I was super excited that little Max decided not to let his “little” brother show him up on the walking front.  Two days after I got back from PR, Max not only started to stand on his own – but he also started walking!  What a trip!  My mom was there to witness his first steps, and it was just about the cutest thing in the world.  =)  Now, both boys are just walking everywhere, although Max is a little more apprehensive than his “little” brother.

I put “little” in quotations because even though Wes is technically the younger brother (by a whole whopping minute), he most certainly isn’t the “little” one.  The boys had their 15 month appointment last Friday, and holy cow – I knew Wes was a little more “solid”, but sheesh!

Max @ 15 months – 19 lbs, 11 oz, 30 1/2 inches long

Wes @ 15 months – 22 lbs, 9 oz, also 30 1/2 inches long

If I’m being honest, going into their appointment I was a little concerned with both of the boys’ growth (since their 12 month appointment), but Dr. B put my mind at ease when he kindly reminded me that they are technically only 12.5 months old if we’re going by their “adjusted” age.  He was also completely floored that both of them were not only just taking steps, but full-on walking – I was beaming with pride as he was gushing about how “advanced” our little 30-weekers are.  They were being little hams – making their pediatrician laugh…and they were big troopers when they got their shots – probably because their Aunt Kristy and I promised them ice cream if they were “big boys”.  =)

And more pictures, because I don’t have much free time today (or any day really)…

Max and Wes’s first experience with “dipping” their food…

"I LOVE HUMMUS!!!!"

Their new sand and water table…

"Sooooo, what exactly would happen if I ate the sand?"

"Yeah...totally not worth it."

Max just wanted to dunk his face in the water

Some outside photos taken Mother’s Day weekend…
