Twins turn 5 months today!!! 03-10-09

So, I am finally starting this blog thing and trying to figure my way through this whole process. I have decided now that the babies have officially turned 5 months, now would be a good day to start share our moments, both the good and the bad, with our friends and family. More than anything I really want to use this blog as a way of keeping everyone updated on our family, since I know we are not always in contact, but you are always in our minds :). Anywho, on to the babies.... Iker and Izel are doing grrrreat. I can't believe how big they have grown these last few months. It seems like yesterday that we brought them home. They were soooo tiny, and now they are both probably over the 17 lb mark. So here is what has happened this past month or so. The jelly beans got their 4 month shots and of course Izel fussed for about 10 minutes and then she was over it, as if nothing happened. Iker fussed the rest of that day and through the night. The shots seem to affect him more my poor little bean. At the time of their appt. Iker weighed in at almost 15 lbs and Izel at 16 lbs. Both babies have been diagnosed with having plagiocephaly. In short it just means their heads are not round so they have to where an orthotic called a DOC band. They have to where it for about 8 weeks or so. I wasn't to thrilled with the idea but what ever is best for my babies. They really dont mind the bands, in truth I don't even think they realize its there. Hmmmmm what else, oh yeah, Izel is trying her darndest to sit up. She pulls her head and her shoulders completley up when she is in her swing or bouncey. Iker has yet to try that move but holds can push himself up with his arms when on his tummy. Both babies are starting to roll, so yup we've got mobile babies now. Ok I know this is a long post but I feel like I have got so much to catch up on. So to close for tonight I'll try and post some pictures of the babies day today. They are sooooo cute.


Mmmmmmm those teething rings feel sooooo good :)
