Where, Oh Where could my (fill in the blank) be)

Lately we have been missing lots of toys and phones...
One day I found my running shoes packed full of many different toys. Socks are not eaten by the washing machine at our house...Braden eats them. Of course he doesn't swallow them, but he pulls them off as soon as you get them on him and he shoves them in his mouth. He has even started to take socks off of other babies at day care! We have a ball popper that has everything shoved down the tube except for the balls. THere have been socks and puzzle pieces, we are lucky we have been able to get them out so far!
Yesterday before school started my cell phone rang. It said Thor was calling...it was Brock...he called me twice!
Braden has learnd that if we say "get the kitty" he should go fin poor Sadie and try to play with her.
They are both getting really good at putting lids on jars, blowing bubbles in the bath tub and talking up a storm! I always thought Thor talked a lot, but these to little men have him beat!
In the last couple of weeks we have survived RSV and ear infections. Braden got his first tooth on Monday and is about ready to pop another one through. I think it will be there tomorrow. Next week we see the ENT. We are hoping for tubes in all 4 little ears! Keep your fingers crossed!

Happy Birthday!!

So it has been a week since my little ones turned a year old! I can not believe that a year ago we were still in the NICU at PVH wondering when we would be able to come home! They have grown by leaps and bounds this past year. Brock is our chunky little guy. He is constantly in the 25th percentile, except his head...it is in the 75th percentile! He has almost quadrupled his birth weight! He thinks pretty much everything is worth laughing at and will be walking in no time. Braden is our little monkey. Although he is tiny, he healthy and growing well. He has constantly been in the 3rd percentile...well, sometimes below the 3rd. He has also quadrupled his birth weight! He is a goof ball most of the time and is not too far behind Brock with the walking...he may catch up and be the first to walk on his own. Their first birthday was a blast! They received lots of cool new toys and clothes. I think their favorite may be the slide that my parents (Amah and Poppop)gave them. The anticipation of falling cracks them up every time! Our friends, Britt and Randy were able to come visit as well. They came on Saturday and helped set up for the party on Sunday. We are VERY thankful for all of their help! Britt and Randy were at our house a year ago the night before the boys were born! We may have to make it our January tradition! We have had so much fun with our boys this past year and we are looking forward to another exciting year with lots of fun and memories and many milestones for the boys! Oh, and for those of you who are curious...Braden still doesn't have any teeth but Brock has six!
