High Five

Chris (L) & Aiden (R) in their new bathrobes after a refreshing bath tonight!


We are hoping that we are moving into getting teeth, or rather I should say that we are hoping there is a reason for the unpredictable, heart breaking whimpering. Chris seems to be waking up in the middle of the night and is more bothered right before bed and Aiden is waking up from naps in discomfort. Poor boys! If the teeth are going to make an appearance, we hope they're on the move soon!

Tomorrow the boys have their 6 month check up's and vaccinations. We are hoping that things go as smoothly as their 4 month appointments as we certainly don't want a repeat of their first vaccinations and a night of screaming. I am very excited to get an official height and weight check for them. Mike is working so Grammie Pt is coming to give me an extra hand. It's funny because when you are at the Dr.s for these check up's, they want you to get both babies naked and ready to go at the same time so that they can be measured and weighed together. This isn't a big deal with one baby but with two, both of which love to move and roll and wiggle, the Dr.'s table isn't big enough for me to trust that I can pull this off safetly on my own! Needless to say, I am thankful to have my mom there for an extra set of hands!

Our week has been passing quickly as always. Monday we met up with our friend Mathieu and his mom Caroline. We walked in their neighborhood in Longmeadow for a change of pace because poor Caroline's car wouldn't start! Caroline and I had a great time catching up and all three boys were great sports despite the intense heat.

Tuesday was my standard work day. Grammie Hopkins came over to spend the day with Aiden and Chris. Chris had so much fun that he decided to take a super short nap so that he could have more one on one time with Grammie. Grandpa Hopkins also stopped over for a visit and brought delicious grinders, thank you!

Today we laid low and thankfully didn't have much planned. I was glad it was a quiet day because I am thinking that their teeth may have been bothering them. Even for a rough day, they are still great boys and are such happy, smiley fellows. They have successfully won over mine and Mike's hearts.... as a matter of fact, I am pretty sure they have had them for over 6 months now!
