Hallelujah!! Aron slept through the night from 8:00pm to 5:00am and would have kept going if not woken. Aden made it to 3:00am and I am sure will add those extra hours soon. Both boys are starting to get the concept of day and night. They are taking fewer and shorter naps during the day and ready to go to sleep right at 8:00pm.
Today I took Aron to the pulmonologist to check up on his crackly breathing. Earlier in the month we took him for an x-ray in fear of pneumonia but was diagnosed with a chest cold. The advice this time was "do nothing". The sound he is making is his trachea underdeveloped and loose. Like the squeaking with his swallowing this is something he has to grow out of. Aron doesn't seem to mind and was all smiles for the doctor. So good news is that we can stop the medication we were treating the chest cold with and are now in a holding pattern to see how he grows.
There is no doubt the boys are growing. This week Aron rolled over on to his tummy and was trying so hard to crawl. He was able to get his legs under him but still not strong enough in the arms to lift. Yesterday Aden was happily playing in the next step of developmental toys called the Exersaucer. It might be time to upgrade from the horizontal play mat to the vertical. I was looking at Johnny Jumpers online remembering how much I loved mine but then also remembered my parents telling my how many door frames were damaged from my enthusiastic jumping. Maybe an outside swing would be better :)
This weekend the boy are going to be baptized in the church where I was baptized. The posted photos are early shots of their christening outfits and more are posted on the photos link.
