Week 28/ Valentine's Day
We've had a fairly quiet week. Hayden was out of school on Tuesday b/c I had to take him to the doctor. He got tonsilitis again and will probably have to have his tonsils out. He's doing much better now. Then he had a 4 day weekend with the holiday. He had his Valentine's party at school on Thursday and that was fun. John and I went and John enjoying watching all the big kids.
John went for his 6 month checkup on Thursday morning but we didn't get shots yet. He weighs 17 lbs and is 27 in long. The Dr. said he is doing good. He has a little bit of a runny nose and cough right now. We'll go back sometime this week for his shots. UGH. But at least then he doesn't have to get more until 12 mos. He is working on crawling. He does the push up on hands and toes and then pushes backward. Then he gets mad b/c he's not going forward. He also occasionally gets his knees up under him. He can also move to the side to get a toy!
He's tried all the first foods and we'll move onto 2's soon. Plus he's now eating food in the morning as well as at supper time. He's sleeping better and now puts himself to sleep most of the time. He even sleeps thru the night about every other night. Or at least that's what I call it. He'll sleep from 10 or 11 until 4 or 5 so that's pretty good. 4 or 5 hours of sleep at a time is great! Plus he takes good naps most days! Here's a few pics from the week.

Week 26 and 27/ 6 months
Things have been busy in the last two weeks with the boys. Hayden finally lost his first tooth! He even let Heath get it out. He was very excited and got a visit from the tooth fairy. He has his first gap and I think the next tooth is loose now too! He is doing good in school, learning like crazy. They are doing writing and reading and math and it seems that he has Heath's math brain thank goodness!!
John is doing all kinds of new things. Last Monday, he decided he was going to sit up unsupported and has been doing it ever since. He still falls over occasionally but not much. The next day he did a true push up with just hands and toes on the ground. He now scoots backward and gets mad b/c he's going away from the toy. He plays with his toys now and even recognizes some of them. He figured out how to push down on the music box on his excersaucer and turn it on. Then he gets so excited when we clap and say yay! It's funny. He knows his name and will turn if you call him. He's a big thumb sucker which is okay b/c he's learn to self-soothe sometimes. The sleeping thing is going better. He has a schedule most days and only cries for 10 min or less or not at all most days. We are still working on sleeping through the night but it's much better than it was. And he's in his crib now all night. Which means we are sleeping better too. He still loves Hayden and laughs at him a lot. He's also tons of fun to change now. He doesn't like to be on his back so it's a little hard to get a diaper on. I think we may just change him on the floor now. He's tried more food and has liked everything but the bananas. Pureed bananas don't really smell that great so we just give him a piece of banana in a mesh feeder and he loves that! He also is trying a sippy cup. He does good holding onto the handles. And he likes the little bit of juice and water inside. I'm posting a few pics from the past two weeks!
