All over the place . . .

Addyson and Braden are busy!!! Let's see what all they've been up to . . .

They are crawling and climbing over, under, through, and around everything. They can both climb a full flight of stairs flawlessly (with supervision of course!). I have found them all kinds of crazy places. Addyson is such a climber and loves to sit on top of whatever she can find. Braden does his fair share too.

Braden has his first cold. The first day was pretty rough. His eye was watering constantly and his nose was stuffy and running. He thought life was pretty tough. But since then he has dealt with it amazingly well and we are surviving. As much as we dreaded the day they would get sick at this point in their life it is sort of nice to just have it out of the way and be surviving it. He is starting to feel better and so far Addyson hasn't caught it yet which is just crazy as much slobber as they share!!!

Braden is down to 2 bottles a day. Addyson will continue to get bottles for a while to make sure she gets plenty of calories. They are also down to 2 naps a day.

Braden is taking a couple tiny steps with lots of encouragement. He stands by himself more often. Addyson is doing great walking behind things and getting more mobile all the time. They'll be walking all over before we know it!

We have been able to get out a little bit and take walks which we all love! Here they are after our walk this evening. They look so grown up!

They love standing at the window and watching the dogs.

Maddie, our black and white dog, had puppies. Both of them died. One lived 3 days. I was looking forward to the kids playing with her (we named her Marley) and then hopefully giving her away to a family to love. It was so sad to watch Maddie look for her puppies. She was so confused. And she and Chloe were not friends for a while but now they're the best of buddies again. I realized again that I'm such a softy for puppies.

That's all for now - just a couple cute pics.
