Our day at Sick Kids...

Last Thursday Kyle had his appointment to be sedated and his eyes all checked out. We had to be down at Sick Kids by 6:00 am. The only good this about that is it was early enough that Kyle was not hungry. They took him to the OR without any tears or even a second thought for me. An hour later he went to recovery and I was able to spend some time with him before he was discharged. The outcome is he does need glasses. We went and tried on glasses (there are not that many options for babies his size) and they are on order. They should arrive in the next couple of days. I will post pictures when he gets them.

Happy Easter!

The boys went and saw the Easter Bunny last weekend....Kyle loved him and wanted to stay and play with him, Christopher was very unsure of him. You can probably tell which baby is which....

Moving and Moving and Moving

Both boys are on the move....
Kyle will take a couple of steps on his own and is climbing onto chairs, couches or anything.
Christopher has been climbing for a while now and is learning that he must sit down and not jump on the couch. He still tests us to see if we are watching, but I think that is normal.

We finally had our appointment with the Speech Pathologist and she is not worried about the boys. She did give us some great ideas on helping them learn, but pretty much they are coming along. Kyle is stills saying "What's that" a million times a day, and Christopher is learning from him. He only says it 1/2 million times, but babbles quite a bit.

Sick Baby!

A couple of weeks ago, both boys were sick with colds. We went to the doctors twice within that week, and the doctor just kept telling us it was a cold and it is going around. On the Friday, Kyle slept for 6 hours on the couch in the middle of the day, so I knew something was wrong. With the help of Auntie Leigh Ann, we went to Sick Kids, (Christopher stayed with Daddy) and found out Kyle had pneumonia. He was admitted, where we stayed for 6 nights. He was on Oxygen the entire time. We were very happy to get out of there...(both of us). Christopher's cold never turned into anything.
Kyle has recovered fully and is back to normal. Again, always trust your instinct when it comes to your kids...

Cold January....

It has been very cold the past few weeks, and I feel so bad taking the boys out in the mornings to drop them off at daycare. They do not seem to mind too much, and I am able to start the van from inside the house to warm it up for them.

Kyle has started talking a little...he now says "whats that?" as he points to lights, pictures and clocks. He also says cat. It is funny he will say cat, but not mom.

Last time Kyle had an ultrasound, the Doctor noticed that one kidney was smaller than the other one. He just wants to make sure it is nothing, so this past Monday we went down to Sick Kids. They put some radioactive die into his veins and did a scan of his kidneys. We will hopefully get the results soon.

Yesterday the boys had their 18 month check up and shots. Kyle now weighs 21 lbs 12 ounces, and Christopher is 21 lbs, 3 ounces. Finally they are over 20 lbs...we have waited a long time for that.

Bath Time...

Kyle and Christopher were able to have their first bath with a girl....mommy supervised so it is o.k. but remember boys, after age 4 this is not allowed.
