Who took my toy?????

Addyson and Braden have been busy playing together this week.

Everything is so exciting to touch, grab, and play with! We had our first fight! They both want the same toys. They were both pulling on the chicken. Addyson was crying and looking at me like she was so mad and Braden was grunting. He is quite the toy stealer and if he doesn't get it he can always just roll on top of her and make her mad. She's also quite good at toy stealing. They are pretty funny to watch because they have really started reaching for toys and playing together a lot.

We tried sippy cups this week. Braden is getting pretty good and loves his apple juice! Addyson isn't really supposed to be drinking much juice because she needs to be getting calories from her milk and food. We have tried peas and green beans this week. Braden isn't a huge fan of peas but he still eats them up - Addyson really likes them and she's starting to down her cereal really well too. We'll be starting fruits soon!!!!

Braden has been spending quality time with his daddy in the evenings. He likes to sit with daddy and watch the Yankees or whatever else is on TV. Then he falls asleep and snuggles with his daddy. He did NOT like the one evening Ryan was able to be in the fields and he was stuck with mommy. He didn't like the idea of sleeping in his crib for his evening nap. It could be fun once things dry off and Ryan is gone a lot again - but oh well. It's super cute to see the boys having fun together.

And Addyson has sort of turned into a mommy's girl for the moment. Which is totally opposite to how the kids have been since they were born. She has big smiles for me and wants to be held and to play with me when usually she just wanted to play with daddy. So that's fun for a change!

The kids got their first RSV shot. I am so thankful for a home health nurse who will come by monthly to give them their shots so we don't have to go to the doctor to get them where they would be exposed to other sick kids. We're so grateful for that! I was reading the info that we got for their shots and it told a lot about RSV and how it affects babies that were born early or with low birth weights. I take for granted that our kids are doing so well and looking so healthy, but their lungs are still not strong and would be devastated by respiratory infections, especially severe ones. Just a reminder to be thankful for how well we've been able to stay and grateful that the Lord is protecting them from all the germs I can't stop!!!

That's what's been happening at our house lately - here are some more recent pics.

Some brotherly love
