9 Months

Christian and Caleb are 9 months old...Time flys!! I know I say that every month, but its true! They had awesome check-ups today. Passed all of their milestones and Dr. Crow was just so impressed with how well they were doing. The next step is to get them down to only 4 bottles a day (as opposed to the 5 they currently get) and to eat more "people" food. This is exciting and also a little scary. Exciting because the road to getting off of bottles is finally here...no more formula or washing bottles, HOORAY! Scary because I'm freaked out about them choking on something...afraid I will panic and not know what to do. I know I need to get over that fear...all parents go through this and all babies need to learn how to eat. So....starting Monday, people food it is!

C & C Fly to AZ!

We had our first family vacation and it was great! It was also very exhausting...the plane ride alone did Eric and I in. Having to sit in a small seat while holding a baby for 4 hours is hard work! If that wasn't hard enough, both boys decided to have diarrhea the entire trip...lucky us! Changing diapers on a plane in mid air is rough...but, having to go to the bathroom yourself while holding a baby is even more rough. The good news, despite all of the obstacles, is that the boys were angels. We received so many compliments from strangers about how good they were and how lucky we are to have such wonderful little boys. I'll have to agree with them...our boys ARE awesome and we are definitely blessed to have them.

The boys had a lot of firsts in Arizona. First plane ride, first trip to the Zoo, first time swimming and first time playing in a baby walker. We also had so much fun seeing all of our old friends...the friends who were with us as Eric and I struggled to get pregnant...who were there to support us as we went through IVF...and who were there to celebrate with us as we found out we were pregnant with not one, but TWO babies. Being able to introduce the boys to all of these friends who prayed for us and supported us during that time was so wonderful. The boys also had such a great time with Eric's parents...they are just so in love with their Grandma CC and Grandpa DC.

While we had such a great time in Az I'm so glad to be back home...I think the boys are too!  What I learned is that the boys can travel and that they are actually quite good at it. Makes me feel like my life is becoming a little bit more "normal".
