Boomer Sooner!!!

Ryan and I went to the OU - K-State football game in Norman on Saturday! We had a great time. In case you missed it here's the scoreboard!! Boomer Sooner!!!

The weather was PERFECT!!! It was over 70 degrees in Oklahoma at kickoff - what a great night for Sooner football. A BIG thank you to Uncle Pat and Aunt Barb for the tickets - to my cousin Morgan and her friends for inviting us to tailgate with them - and to Ryan's parents for watching Addyson and Braden. I was nervous at how I would do leaving the kids - I knew they would be fine but I wasn't sure how I would feel being 4 hours away for 24 hours. We left around noon on Saturday and got home Sunday afternoon. We missed them and were glad to be home to hold them and play with them. But Ryan and I really enjoyed the time away together and I didn't worry about them like I thought I would! It was a great break for us. Here are some more pictures from the game.

And another great thing - I didn't even have to tote my pump along with me. I have finished pumping. Woo-hoo!!!! Here's what I have to show for my 8 months of hard work:

2 healthy, growing kids . . . and 41 gallon Ziploc bags full of frozen breastmilk!!!

They're getting part formula and part breastmilk and are eating so much food right now that this supply should last them through the end of the year at least!!!

So . . . now for what the kiddos are up to these days ---

We are eating lots of food - we now eat fruit too and are on to the 2nd stage baby foods that are a little thicker. Addyson LOVES her fruit and it took us a while to convince her she still needs to drink her bottle. Here's proof that sometimes she actually DOES want to eat!

Hanging out with their dad reading books

Practicing sitting all by themselves - they can both sit for a good 45 seconds or so before they topple over -

Drooling like CRAZY and chewing on anything in sight.

Addyson's bottom two teeth are poking out!!! Braden's are yet to be seen but he is constantly covered in drool and chewing on his hands and clothes ALL THE TIME so I'm sure it will be soon. They are both a little fussy but not the horrible crankiness that I was afraid of.

They're starting to get in a routine and take good naps - Braden can go 10 hours at night! Addyson hasn't been able to go very long lately but I think part of that has to do with working on her teeth so hopefully soon she can go a little bit longer. She had been doing 7 hours pretty consistently which was wonderful!!!

And of course, plenty of playing together. They are so fun to watch interact with each other!!!
