The Latest and Greatest!

It is so great that the warmer weather has finally found its way to Maine! I honestly couldn't have taken many more cold days. We have been soaking up these days outside and enjoying the fresh air! I am enjoying the evenings more now that I have a NEW job! Yes you read it right, I finally am off the phones for the time being. I was promoted last week to the role of Specialist/Strategic Incentives with Fairpoint. I handle all the incentives, spurts, sales tracking, party planning, etc at work. It is a big challenge, but I am happy to tackle it head on and get my brain going again! The hours technically are 8-5, but as you know that never works out. I find myself getting there before 8:00 and most often working past 5:00. On the days I get out on time we try and get the boys out for some fresh air. This weekend we went to Deering Oaks Park with my friend Jody and Lisa along with their kids. It was a great day and the park was packed!

After the park we headed to Babies R Us to pick up a few things. As I was parking Nathan started fussing and I looked back and he got sick. There was something going around school and they picked it up (as usual). Needless to say that was the start of a weekend of vomit and poops that still is going on and we are hoping tomorrow they are better. Brady was so fussy and irritable I plopped him in the sink for a tubby and it calmed him down immediately (too bad I couldn't keep him there all day ) kidding.

15 Month Appointment

Nathan and Brady had their 15 month appointment today. It was the first appointment that I had to miss because of work, that made me really sad. Jon took the the boys and seemed to retain more than I usually do, I think I am always so upset over the shots that it all goes out the window. Anyway, getting to the good stuff!
Nathan:


Weight- 27.6lbs


Length- 32 1/8


Brady:


Weight- 27.2lbs


Height- 32 1/8



They are big boys, but right on target for their age. Developmentally they are both doing great and are right on for that as well! I was happy to hear this and excited as well, seeing as they were 5 weeks premature. They continue to enjoy each other more and more as the days go by. Often we will be in the family room and I will see them sitting at their table reading books together. They do battle over toys like crazy, but that is to be expected.



Now that the warmer weather is upon us we are going to try and get outside as much as we can! I am tired of being cooped up in the house! We went for a wagon ride on Saturday and on Sunday we met the Smith's and the Plummer's for some play time at the park. It was really great to see them and their precious girls.
