*Week 21 - 5 Months* *September 8 - September 14* This week I introduced Sean to the world of pears mixed with cereal. Oh boy, Oh boy, did he love them! He was sucking them out of the spoon before I could even get them into his mouth :) He seemed to really like this texture a whole lot better compared to the other two. But nonetheless, I don't think he is going to be too picky when it comes to food. I think giving him the cereal once a day is causing his constipation issues to arise again. Ill have to see what I can do about that. development: September 14 - This morning at about 830 am. Hurricane Ike (well what was left over of it). Hit us with avengence. The wind was massive! We lost quite a bit of tree limbs, one landing on the house. They said that winds reached the speeds of 80 mph. We supposedly had a category 1 hurricane (without the rain). Here in Kentucky we don't do Hurricanes we do Tornadoes. We lost our electricity at about 1:30 pm. We drove to my mothers (the only one in the family that still had electricity) and decided to stay there until our house was back in order.
On a lighter note I started feeding Sean in the morning and night since he turned 5 months old.
*Week 22* *September 15 - September 21* This week has been interesting. We STILL do not have power and are STILL bunking at my mothers house. (which she loves!) The boys have definetly became more rotten by the second staying over here. Continuing with our new food a week, this week, Sean started prunes mixed with cereal. He really, really enjoys them. I would have never thought he would have liked them this much. To add more positives to the situation, it also helps him POOP! We are all about them if they help the lil man poop. LOL development: September 17 - Tonight while I was giving Sean a bath he purposely went for the water coming out of the faucet. He saw it, and by god, he wanted to grab it. He then realized he could splash in the water in front of him. Soon after he found out that the harder he swung his arm the bigger the splash got, than things got interesting. Its so cool watching him grow on a daily basis. September 18 - Today after Sean and I got Mason off the bus and were on our way home the sun was in Sean's eyes. So I reached back and pulled his sunshade down on his carseat. Well, he reached up and pulled it all the way down in front of him. Everytime I would fix it, he would pull it back down. It was so funny. Mason was getting so aggrivated trying to keep him from doing it, he just kept yelling, "baby Sean!"
*Week 23* *September 22 - September 28* I finally realized by the middle of this week that Sean is SOOO not tiny anymore. Well obviously not weight tiny, but developmentally. For some reason this week he decided that he could sit up! Ya, you heard me SIT UP. He only falls a lil bit when he is really excited. Its so weird how one day he can't and then all the sudden the next day....boom! So he is still not rolling over to his belly, but he can sit up. lol He also is doing the cutest thing when he is tired and taking a bottle. He takes his forearms of both arms and covers his eyes. To shield the light? Maybe, a comfort thing? I have no idea, but it is so cute. Oh yea, and one more thing he is saying Da Da consistently. I still wonder if he knows what it means though? Our new food adventure this week peaches mixed with cereal. Another yum in Sean's book. Oh and we also got our electricity back and got to come back home! development: September 24 - I realized that everytime I go to lay Sean down, or pick him up, he really arches his back. Almost as if he is trying to help. His understanding is just growing. He has also found out that if he moves his body in just certain ways that he can also put his toes in his mouth. September 25 - I decided today that I had had enough with the nursery/bottled water. I figured his belly seems to be doing well, Im switching to tap water. So I did and without any ill effects. :) While we were grocery shopping today I decided since we are about to move up carseats that I would just place Sean by himself in the grocery cart. (using the lap belt and a blanket). I think he enjoyed the new view! September 27 - Sean attended his first surprise birthday party today. Of course he didn't know any different but it was fun.
*Week 24* *September 29 - October 5*
(Dr visit October 3 at 7:00 - pink eye) weighed: 21 pounds 9 ounces (98th percentile)
This week went by rather slow. He continued to work on his sitting up skills. I am amazed at how well he is doing. He can hold himself there unless he gets overly excited and starts flapping his arms like he can take off. I just wanna stop time so he can't get any bigger.
I also got his costume in the mail this week. It is SOOO cute! My only fear is that it will not be cold enough for him to wear. He is gonna burn up. I will post pictures once we get it all assembled.
I finally found the medium flow nipple for his bottles and gave them a whirl. WOW, does he drink his bottle faster now. LOL :) But he also gets alot more air. So we have to add in more burping time! That's one thing this kid is full of . . . gas! Our new food experience this week, sweet potatoes.
development: October 2 - So driving home today Sean and I went and picked up Mason like we usually do. When Mason got in the car beside Sean and buckled in, Sean got overly excited like he usually does. He started kicking and flapping his arms. So Mason sticks his head down into Seans carseat to talk to him when *bam*. Mason starts crying hysterically. Sean had accidentally kicked Mason in the face. I kept trying to explain it was an accident and that he didn't understand. But Mason was not having it. So let the sibling rivalary officially begin.
October 3 - Had to take Sean to the doctor after work. His little head cold has brought along *pink eye with it. The doctor gave me some drops and it already looked better the next day. On a funny note . . . he gave it to daddy! lol

pregos - Thursday, 31 July Awww I wish you were close and we could go out or something... No more babies for now k? Its great tho that you cherish the fact you are a mommy and can bring beautiful babies into this world! I understnad about the feelings and not knowing why... I was like that alot after I had niya and even when I was prego. Change is crazy and maybe its your way of dealing with it... Talking about it I thnk is the best way to clear it up... I am ok... hating my job and looking for a new one... I am going out Saturday 4 my first girls night out in mnths!!
firemama - Thursday, 31 July lol..that's true i'm not missing that period once a month!!! we did have fun, just being together was nice, cause we work opposite shifts at the fire station so we spend maybe two nights a week together! BLAH
Mommy2twogreatkids - Thursday, 31 July Oh No! Please my others were both 7 pounds and I could barely do that ! LOL!!! I just meant as little as most twins are that water would be good for them!
felicia-lundstrom - Wednesday, 30 July Nopeee she just has this one in her tummy right now
I knowww, I'm so excited to see hers. It sucks though because I live in Minnesota and she lives in Florida... so I won't be able to be there for the birth.. and I won't be able to meet my little nephew until after I have my baby and fly down there..
I was thinking about how upset I;m going to be when I can't go see him and watch him grow up and stuff because we're so far away from eachother. I hate that.
babyonthewayyay - Wednesday, 30 July Hey, why dont you tell me how YOU and the boys are for once!!!??? Is Sean a good baby??? Sleeping through the night???
babyonthewayyay - Wednesday, 30 July Awww thank you I really hope I do! Idk about the sonograms! I guess Im going to have to go into my next appt a little calmer and ask some questions! lol! So far I guess Ill ask how often I get an u/s, when I will find out if its a boy or girl and if Im going to have to do the down syndrome tests and tests like that later on... Is there anything else I should ask??? I hatee how one day Im real excited and like today im soo saddd. My mom and I kind of gott in an argument... our freakin ob/gyn told her we should get counceling! wtfffff and then hes all you dont clean enough blahh blahhhhh! I just started bawlingggg. Im really PISSED at myself right now. I wouldnt take back getting preg 4 the world. But God it would have been easier! I could be moving out! Ahh Im soo weird tomorrow Im gonna be all happy again I know it! Is htis normal!!!??? (im totally venting again haha!)
firemama - Wednesday, 30 July yeah i'm glad my mom had come around now rather than later, cause it made me uncomfortable to tell her anything about the pregnancy. our honeymoon was good we kinda just took day trip all week. we went to the childrens museum in indy one day, we went to kings island another day, and we went camping, and played catch in the yard. so just spent time together being lazy! lol well you tell mason's dad i said it's not ok to mess with children...don't lead them on unless you plan on being there for them!!!
