Merry Christmas
Well, we have been slacking since our last post, so here is all the updates for the last few months.
I have gone back to work, and the boys have started daycare. They seem to love it, and have not cried once when I have dropped them off. They are very tired in the evenings now and we have moved bedtime to 7:00.
Kyle had his eye exam to find out what prescription he will need in glasses, but of course he did not cooperate for the doctor, and now has to go back in February where they will sedate him. That is not going to be fun.
We had the NICU Follow-up appointment at Mount Sinai in November, and they are pretty happy with their development. They would like to hear them talking a little bit more and have put a requisition in for a speech therapist, but this could take up to a year to get an appointment. They are babbling more, but pretty much they say dada. Christopher has started clapping and if you ask him to cough, he will let out a tiny cough. Kyle will meow like a cat when you ask him what a kitty says.
Christmas was very hectic. We had our families to our house since it is baby proofed already. The boys really could care less about presents but that will change by next year I am sure. They of course were spoiled by all.
I will post pictures of Christmas soon.

Fall Update
The boys will be 1 year old on Nov.1 (corrected) and on Nov. 10 they will have been home from the hospital for a year.
They are crawling very fast now and pulling themselves up to standing. We have a physiotherapist that comes in once a week to show us some exercises and check that they are developing o.k.
Their latest weights were Kyle 18 lbs 13 ounces, and Christopher 18 lbs 6 ounces

Just a quick post today. The boys are doing very well. Their original due date (November 1) is coming up in a month. Both boys are crawling well, pulling themselves up to get into trouble and enjoying their swimming lessons.
Kyle had a bout of roseola last week. He had a slight fever for several days and then red spots appeared on his body. They looked like chicken pox but no blisters appeared. The doctor said it is caused by a virus and we had to wait it out. By the end of the week Kylee was no longer grumpy and the spots had disappeared. Whew!
Here's a short snip of the boys practicing for their Thanksgiving meal.
Enjoy your turkey!

Summer Updates
I am sorry I have not posted much this summer, but now we are back from the cottage so here are some updates on the boys.
2 weeks ago we went to Sick Kids for their eye appointments. Since the boys are big now, they have changed the way they examine them (thank goodness). Christopher does not have to go back for a year. Kyle is very near sighted and has to go back in November. He is probably going to need glasses.
Today the Physiotherapist came to evaluate the boys. When they went to the NICU follow-up, the doctors had concerns about their stiffness in legs (hence not using exersaucers and jolly jumpers). He thinks they are developing perfectly normal. He will be coming every week for 12 weeks.

August Videos
Once we got rid of the excersaucers last month, we have seen a big improvement in their motor skills. The boys learned to explore by rolling, then crawling backwards. Christopher was the first to crawl forward a few steps.
Here Christopher goes for the bait. Both boys love to eat Cheerios and recognize the container we store them in.
A week or so later Kyle got the front crawling idea as well. Here he shows off his sitting skills for the camera. You can hear him say "dada" but unfortunately he says that to anything. It's nothing personal Daddy.
Up at the cottage last weekend, we erected a play yard so that the boys could enjoy the deck down by the lake. Without it they would be crawling in different directions off the mat and into trouble. We do remember to put toys and occasionally people in there to entertain them! ;-)
Both boys enjoy having stories read to them. Kyle gets very excited when his favourite book is read.
Christopher decides to take some time away from exploring and discover what is causing the ruckus. Oh look! It's Mr. Brown Can Moo!
