Videos

We decided to do some videos of Aaron and Ryan and wanted to share them with our out of town family and friends. We hope you enjoy!


Here is a video of Ryan visiting with Aaron. Ryan looks like a giant!



If you want to see a video of Ryan singing Blues Clues let me know and I will post it! I didn't post it b/c it's kinda hard to understand.

Here's also a picture of the boys just chillin....I can't believe how much bigger Ryan is!!!

Excersaucer

Aaron has decided he does like the excersaucer and we took some pictures of him enjoying his time in there. I've added a picture of Ryan so you can compare yet again...I think it's fun to see the comparison and see how much and yet how different they are already!

Ryan is a couple of weeks older here-don't ask about the PBW...it's a long story!

Aaron 4 1/2 months

New Breman Zirkles

Our cousins from New Breman decided to stop by and say hello one evening! We had a wonderful visit and Matthew and David got to meet Aaron! It was fun watching them interact w/ the boys. Especially David since they aren't sure he's ever held a baby before! Here are a few pictures of the evening! We definitely need to get together for a game night!

Matthew and Ryan cheesing it up!

David and the boys...I'm not sure he looks very happy :)

David just chillin w/ Aaron...I'm not sure he's even really holding him :)

FYI-Matthew did hold Aaron quite a while too, but the only picture I have of that is from our little photographer and it wasn't a very good picture!

Aaron four month check-up!

On Aaron's 4 month birthday he went to see the MD. He is doing very well and weighed in at 16 lbs and 25 1/4 inches long. Both are the 75th percentile! He is still a little behind what Ryan was at 4 months. He was 17 lbs 15 oz and 26 1/2 inches long!

Ryan story

Since I've been writing mostly about Aaron...I thought I would share a Ryan story from today. I have been working a lot of hours because various people have been on vacation....basically I've been full time....well, tonight at supper, Ryan gave me a hug and kiss which is not unusual for my affectionate child! However, a little bit later he looked over at me and said "I miss you mommy!" Paul and I couldn't believe what he had said, and we still wonder if he truly knows what it means! Overall it just makes me very glad that I don't work full time!

Found his tongue!

This weekend Aaron found his tongue! He has been sticking it out like crazy--it is the cutest thing!

Also thought I would put a picture of Ryan up at this age so you can see how much they are starting to look alike! The only difference is that Ryan was still quite a bit bigger then Aaron is!

Favorite way to sleep!

After 3 months I finally figured out that Aaron sleeps a lot better on his right side! Since he's been healthy (he had a cold), and his ezcema is under control, he's been sleeping almost all night! He'll take a bottle at 10:00 and then not need another one until 5 ish! However, he has to be on his side! We have a positioner in his crib, so I'm not too worried about him rolling over on his tummy! It's been nice to get some real sleep! However, if his skin is bothering him, then it's a fussy night ahead for me and him!

Speaking of rolling over, he's not "officially" done it yet, but he has rolled from his back to his belly on the bed....it won't be long!!!
