This week was one of many accomplishments for the twins! To begin, here is an update of their latest stats: Carson now weighs 14 pounds 5 ounces and Mason was 13 pounds 15 ounces. Wow! It's truly amazing to go back and look at their NICU pictures and see how far
they've come. Pretty soon all three boys will be eating everything we have in the pantry. We love SAM'S for this exact reason.

Last week we had to take the boys to the children's lung specialist for their RSV shots. We found out we would have to take them once a month for the next 6 months. Poor babies! I hate watching them get shots. Their faces turn 4 shades of red and they let out an enormous cry. Not fun at all! However, being at the lung specialist and seeing all of the kids hooked up to breathing machines once again made me extremely grateful that our boys are healthy.
I just had to snap this picture of Mason on his playmat. I guess all of that stimulation tired him out. That is another accomplishment! The boys are now sleeping without being swaddled. No more baby straight jacket!! However, now that they're free to move their arms and legs, they wake eachother up in the middle of the night so it's time for them to be seperated. We're very curious to see how they take that one because they really do enjoy eachother's company....but sleep is soooo precious! Sorry boys!
Twice the teething means twice the drool. I had completely put this stage out of my mind. Ethan used to soak several bibs throughout the day and it looks like we're headed down that road again!
I saved the best pictures for last. We discovered Ethan drawing on the walls yesterday morning. Mornings seem to be difficult for us on the weekends. If we don't get him out of the house and on the way to the park or running errands with one of us, this happens. I know we should have probably gotten on to him a little bit more as to prevent this from happening again, but it was just too funny. I always predicted he was right brained and this just confirms it! The hilarious thing about this was that when we asked him to clean it up, he started scrubbing the wall with a Clorox clean up wipe. I think he enjoyed that more than he did creating the masterpiece!
This is the look of "Yes, it was me but don't I look so cute and innocent??" I think he got this tactic from his mom! I can remember getting myself out of a lot of trouble this way. Let's just say that from now on all of the art sessions will be supervised!
