Twins

These were taken when they were just under a month old.

Catching Up

I know it has been a while. With the new addition there isn't much free time. Everything is pretty standard. We had a few days of jaundice at the beginning. After a few bilirubin tests, everything is fine. Now on to his low iron. He levels were low so we are going to a hematologist. In my opinion a scam. Nothing his pediatrician couldn't handle. Blood test... read it.... advise to take more iron. But there is always that "what if" so we have another blood test in about 10 days.
On a good note, Ethan is growing fast. Moving on up in diaper and clothes sizes. He is eating well. Just started with a bottle to give Laura a little break at night. Luckily for me, last night he slept 4 hours straight... but before he woke up for my turn to feed him, Anthony came into our room so I went with him back to his room and went to sleep. I don't think I will be that lucky tonight.
Right now, Anthony and Ethan are sleeping and Laura is Line Dancing. I think this is the first time the house has been quiet in weeks. Not many photos of Ethan yet since they all pretty much him sleeping or being held. No tricks yet.

After a second try, the baby shower was a go. The original date was when Laura was visiting the hospital for a 5 day vacation. Being waited on 24/7. Nice.

Here are some photos for the shower.

Laura caught Ethan and I napping .

Easter 2013

It is time for the big hunt. Anthony and Cousin Vincent had a great time searching for eggs. Later, the adults got in on the search.

Almost Beach time of the year. Just a quick evening trip to the cape beach. Water wasn't too bad but I didn't get in. Anthony was ready but I wouldn't let him go past a couple inches deep since I wasn't in my swim trunks. Of course a cold front is approaching. Can't wait for warmer beach weather .

Laura got a few baby surprise gifts at the birthday party

Sunday evening was Uncle Chads birthday along with Easter. Cupcakes and Peeps.

Easter breakfast at Golden Corral . Cookie on a stick was a hit for dessert.

New shoes. Then Anthony decided to jump off this. No broken bones or tears do it was a successful jump. Side note: it wasn't on my watch

Time to do some yard improvements. Simple ones. We got some bricks from gma and gpa Dennis . Dug out some rocks and laid bricks as a platform for the garbage can.

Laura has been trying out new places for Ethan to sleep.
He has lots of gas after eating. The water bottle has warm water in it. Hopefully something helps with tight stomach. It gets rocks hard from gas. Poor guy.
