This past month has brought lots of laughs as well as lots of illnesses. We were finally able to see an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. Braden had an ear infection at the time and two days later Brock had walking pneumonia. The next week we got tubes in their ears. We went to Ft. Collins to Poudre Valley Hospital for the procedure. Brock and Braden got to wear the tiniest hospital gowns I have ever seen! The procedure went well. Both boys woke up pretty cranky,, crying for over an hour. We got in the car and headed back to the hotel and packed up our things and headed home. The boys slept the whole time. When they woke up we had the happiest babies in the world!! They have always been pretty happy, even when they are sick...but now they are SUPER happy!

Now, a week and a half later, the boys are still incredibly happy, talking ten times as much (and louder) than before. Some of their favorite words are Dada, Mama, Dog, Cat, Hi, and That. Brock is standing without assistance all the time and has added dancing while he is standing. Braden has learned to climb up the baby gate and refuses to sit down when we eat at a restaurant. He is always trying to go somewhere and see everything. Brock is very serious when it comes to meal time and is all about eating. They cover themselves up with blankets and hide behind things and laugh until we notice that they are wanting to play peek a boo.

Saturday my mom and I took the boys to Fort Collins for the Fort Collins Parents of Multiples Club Spring Party. Brock and Braden found two eggs each at the Easter egg hunt. They had tons of fun finding the eggs and figured out if they threw the eggs hard on the ground they opened up and some had candy and some had stickers! We can't wait for Easter in a few weeks!
