Boys' doctor appointment

The boys doctor appointments were today. Everything checked out OK. They are both healthy little boys. We will be receiving a call though from the Birth-3 office for their lack of speech.

Here were their stats:
Isaac
35 1/2 in. tall (75 percent)
26 lbs, 12oz (35 percent)
48 1/2 cm - head size (30 percent)
Blood pressure: 90/60

Brady
34 1/2 in. tall (50 percent)
26 lbs, 4 oz (30 percent)
50 1/4 cm - head size (75 percent) - he always did have a bigger head :)
Blood pressure: 88/54

Brady had caught up considerably since their appointment in October when they had colds. He was almost 2 pounds lighter than Isaac at that point. Now he is only 8 oz away!! He should be since he eats like a pig and most of the time eats more than Isaac.

Brady was very good during the appointment. He only cried when he got weighed. Isaac however cried every time the nurse or doctor even touched him. Usually it is the other way around. After the appointment, we went out for breakfast where the boys ate like pigs.

Snow

Today I had the day off of work for a couple of doctor appointments so I spent much of it with the boys. We had a great time. After lunch, I got them all bundled up so that we could go outside. Daddy hadn't shoveled the driveway yet, so I thought while he did that we would play for a little while. Both the boys posed for me once I took the camera out.


Isaac really got into playing with the snow and eating it (of course, because everything goes into the mouth).
Brady wasn't too sure about it all. He was just happy watching his brother.

Walking down the stairs

After we came in from the snow. The boys decided they wanted to try something new. They walked down the stairs like big boys. Here are some pictures of them doing it. They started out just going down a couple of steps, but by the end, they were walking down the full flight of stairs.

Allison Sweeney

Today, mommy and grandma went to go see Allison Sweeney at the Oneida Bingo Hall. Mommy forgot to bring her camera, so all she has to show is this autographed picture. Allison is a really sweet person.

Different ways to play

Isaac had a fun time playing with his megablocks. Notice how they are upside down? He would get frustrated when they wouldn't stand up on their own.










Brady had a good time playing with the white storage container, which is completely upside down, (you can't really tell in this picture). He looks so proud of himself.

Playing around

The boys just love their rocking chairs. They very seldom sit down and rock in them, but they find new ways to climb them.

Silly boys

The boys are so silly. I don't know anyone who has more fun than these two. They took two of the bags from their birthday party and were running back and forth from the living room to the kitchen and then they would purposely fall down. Then they would get back up and start all over again.

Thank you everyone

Hello everyone

We all would like to thank you for coming to our party. We had a great time and received a lot of great gifts. Here are a few pictures from our party.








We really enjoyed opening our gifts this year. Last year we were too tired to get into it, but this year was really fun.











We received lots of great gifts and a lot of clothes. We are going to look extra great this winter and summer.











Mommy did a great job with the cake. It was really really good. Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to us as well. It was a little too noisy for me so I cried a little bit.











I ate all of my cake. Yummy!!!













The both of us would like to thank the following for coming in the snowy weather to help us celebrate our 2nd birthday.

Happy Birthday to you

You guessed it, today is the boys' 2nd birthday. Who can believe it. Seems like just yesterday I was laying in the hospital with 2 little babies in my arms. The boys were definitely anxious to get their day started since they woke up before 8 am which is early for them. Normally they wake up around 9. They didn't do a whole lot in the morning, just played. Brady is really starting to talk a lot, especially to himself. You just can't understand a word he is saying.



Grandma Fonder came over after work and all four of us went out for dinner. We went to Denny's. Brady had the Moons and Stars Chicken Nuggets with fruit melody and Isaac had the french toast, of which he didn't eat any of it. He did eat almost all of his fruit though.


At the end of the night, Isaac was feeling very loving. Here is a picture of Isaac giving Brady a hug. Isn't that cute? A little after I took this picture, Isaac gave his brother a kiss and hug. It was so precious to see.

Mommy, look what I did

Normally, Brady just loves eating his grapes, but last night he had more fun playing with them. Look how nicely he had them all lined up on the table.

Shirtless Isaac

This morning when I went to get the boys out of their cribs for the morning, I walked in and Isaac had his shirt off. This is the first time he has taken off his shirt on his own. He has taken off his PJs in the past, but never his shirt or pants.

The boys love to put things on their heads

The boys just love to put things on their head, whether it is hats or bowls or plates. Below is a bunch of pictures of things they have put on their heads throughout the past year or so. Hope you enjoy.

Daddy's New Hat

Daddy received a new GB Packer hat for Christmas, but the boys have seem to take it as their own.

I don't know what Brady is doing in this picture above, but it was just so cute that I included it here.

Isaac receives his first haircut!

Yes, it was well over due. He needed one even before Christmas, I just didn't get around to it. But now he has had his first real haircut. Here he is. You can't really see the back, but I cut off about an inch. He looks so handsome!








Brady also received a haircut of his bangs. He can see now!!

Christmas 2006

Hello everyone and welcome to our new blog. I am hoping that I will be able to update this at least once a week. To start us off, I wanted to post some pictures from Christmas.

Christmas was a very hectic time, as I'm sure it was for many of you. It started off Christmas Eve morning when we all went to Grandma and Grandpa Neuser's house. We all opened our gifts and then ate a wonderful lunch. The boys were pretty shy and weren't quite sure they wanted to open their gifts. Here is a picture of them in their matching chairs they received from Grandma. They absolutely LOVE them because they are easy to get into.


After we had lunch, we went home and the boys took a nap so that they would be ready for the big night ahead of them.

That night we went to Dan and Jan Smits' house to celebrate with the Smits Family. Even though both the boys had taken a nice nap, it didn't seem to be enough for Brady. He not only was his usual shy self, but he looked extremely tired. Isaac was shy to begin with, but by the end of the night he was running around all over the place and having a grand time. Isaac would also like to say "Sorry" to aunt Jan for peeing on her living room floor. He had a little accident when Daddy was changing him into his pajamas he decided to get up and run around the house naked before Daddy could get his diaper on.

The next morning was gift opening for us. The boys got a little more into it since it was just us.

The boys received golf clubs from Santa and Isaac is a natural. He is going to be the next lefty.


After we opened our gifts at home we got ready and went to Great-Grandma and Grandpa Neuser's house for lunch and more gift opening.

Tuesday after Christmas we packed up the family and headed over to Grandma Fonder's house for a wonderful lunch and more gifts.

The boys are going to have a great summer as they have received a lot of outdoor toys from both sets of grandparents. They received a basketball hoop that grows with them, a t-ball set, the golf clubs, and tricycles.
