Christian
We haven't had Christian weighed since his 6 month visit, but we guess he's in the 13.5-14lb. range. Christian has switched to size 2 diapers and is starting to get into 6-9 mos. clothing, although he can fit into some 3-6 mos. stuff still. He's getting so big that his bottles aren't satisfying him anymore and the doctor gave us the go ahead to try solids with him. He's been doing pretty good with it so far and cracks me up every time we feed him solids. He normally eats 6 ounces every 4 hours and once a day will eat a couple Tbs. of cereal/vegetable. So far he's only had carrots and sweet potatoes. We have peas ready to go as well as squash, we'll see what he thinks of them. We're also thinking he's working on some teeth as he's been a complete drool monster the last couple weeks and chomps on anything he can get his hands on, including mom's fingers. Christian loves to play with his feet, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten his toes in his mouth yet! He loves to play on the floor with all his toys and has really become a mover and shaker. It's fun to watch him roll from his back to his tummy and then to his back again. With two babies working on this we're running out of floor space pretty quickly. We busted out the jumper last week and Christian has a grand ol time bouncing around in that thing....so much fun, in fact, that he has fallen asleep in there a couple of times.

He jumps so well he tuckers himself right out!
First time with solids....
Yummm, sweet potatoes!
Really mom, carrots?
Just kidding, I love carrots!

Hey guys, I have feet!
Charlie
Our little Charlie boy is doing pretty well. His last weight check was on Sept. 29 and he was 9.6lbs. He's been pretty picky with his eating again lately and only eating a couple ounces at a time again, but hopefully this is just a phase and he'll pick back up again. Usually Charlie will eat 3.5-4 ounces every 3-4 hours or more if he's sleeping well. He isn't quite sleeping through the night, although I feel he's getting closer. He has another NICU follow up appointment coming up on October 9th where they will check his progress from being in physical therapy as well as his weight and eating. I believe he's made a lot of progress with physical therapy and at his last appointment a couple weeks ago, the therapist gave us new exercises to work on with him. Charlie is now wearing size 1 diapers and 3-6 month clothing. Although we got the okay from his pediatrician to start solids with him, we've tried a couple of times and he's shown that he just isn't quite ready for that. That's okay, we can take things slow.
Charlie loves to sit in the bumbo and watch his big brother.....yes, Easton squeezes himself in the bumbo!
At dinner time, Charlie likes to sit in the high chair and sit at the table with everyone

Such a little man!
Now that we have our computer back, hopefully it will continue to work so we can keep up with everyone's progress.
