We finished our first month of summer with new discoveries. Aron discovered that he can flip over in his crib and this has been his method of waking up all month. He does what we call flip'in because he sticks his butt in the air and then throws himself over. In the morning he likes to flip and then talk for about 10 minutes before he calls mama for breakfast. Aden has discovered the joy of sleeping in. He as made a record of 12 hours. It is so funny how they are so different even though their day to day activity is the same. Aden we have nicknamed Dr. Nitro because he is full of energy, talking and kicking past his bed time but is hard to wake in the morning. Aron is the opposite. He will gladly go to bed early so that he can be up at 4:00 am for play time. Another discovery is the joy and disappointment of solid foods. At the top of the list bananas and applesauce, at the bottom carrots and peaches. We have been giving them fruit in the morning and a veggie at night. Aron eats like a baby bird in that his mouth is always open and sometimes you can't shovel it in fast enough. Aden who has been our Chubba-Hog has taken a leisurely approach to eating. We have to dab a small amount of food on his lips for him to sample and if it is acceptable then he will open for small bites. I will try to get this on video because it is too cute. Also in food discoveries Aron snuck a cupcake at our 4th of July BBQ. Unfortunately for him it had blue frosting and was not easily concealed. And lastly their most tasty discovery is their feet. Only second to the Meaty Mitts the bean like toes are their favorite snack.
Overall the boys have been very healthy this month. We have been treating Aron's breathing problems with reflux medication which seems to be helping tremendously. Both boys have started teething and we are waiting anxiously for the first sign of little teeth. Also they are becoming more aware of their surroundings and are responding to their names being called. Aden has an affinity for the camera and gives us a cheeky smile when he's being filmed.
I have started posting videos on YouTube. I am still working out the kinks but check out the Video of the Week for more postings.
