Fall Time!

A few days ago Nicholas got some kind of tummy bug and it was pretty gross. On the upside this made the normally crazy destructo child who is too busy to cuddle, cuddly as heck and we spent a lot of time sitting on the couch watching tv, nice and cozy in our blankies. Well you know...when I wasn't being puked on anyway...Despite all the sickies, he still looked pretty cute, so I took his picture.The next couple days he was still a little off, but he has fully recovered! Yay! So on Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch and it was tons of fun.








Also, not too long ago Liam took some first real walking steps and it looked like this :

A couple days ago I decided that he was much better at it and he deserved another video to show off his mad skillz:

Last night Ryan informed me that he had made an appointment for the kids check ups today at 9:45 am...you know don't panic maren...you only have to go all alone on short notice to a place you've never been...anywho...It went surprisingly well, even if it was exhausting. Here are the stats:

Nicholas
Height: 37 and a quarter inches (I think he is taller...but whatever) 97th percentile
Weight: 28lbs - 50th percentile


Eric
Height: 37 and a quarter inches (that's why i think they are wrong about nick...he just has to be taller than eric, i just know it) 97th percentile
Weight: 30lbs - 75th percentile


Liam
Height: 30 inches - 65th Percentile
Weight- 23 lbs! 75th Percentile
and his head is practically the same size as the twins! 97th percentile

After that I felt like Lucifer and held their arms down while they got poked like 10 times (it was absolutely terrible) and now they are caught up on immunizations. The only other news is that Nick is delayed in speech and we have to take him to a hearing specialist. I think his hearing is just fine but the doctor wanted to be sure. If the hearing checks out, we just have to read him tons of books (which we do) and sing lots of songs (which we do) and just keep working with him on it. He said that taking him to a speech therapy class at this age would be pointless.

So there you have it! Night everybody!
