9 MONTHS!!!

Today was their 9 month "birthday". We went to Potrait Innovations to get some photos taken in honor of the occasion, and well because it had been too long. They did well for most of the photos, here are some samples!

Thankful for Family...

We had such a wonderful time in MI over the Thanksgiving weekend. Reagan and Claire do so well with all the changes it's amazing. The love all the attention. I have to say it's the only time I miss the fact that we don't live there!

Childrens museum fun!

Last week we visited the Childrens museum with some of Reagan and Claire's friends. They had fun playing on the mats and watching the carousel go around!

Reagan's head is much improved. He had an appointment last week and his measurements went from 2 cm to 4 mm. Yeah. He will continue to wear the helmet for at least a month. Today we recieved his 3 month report for First Steps physical therapy. He is doing well with PT but will also continue these services for the next three months. He needs to continue to work on reflexes-catching himself when he falls over, and using his left hand more.

We are also excited to say that Reagan is getting his second bottom tooth!

Claire is doing great. She loves to eat, just not formula. No teeth yet but we are thinking on soon possibly. She is working on her muscles to get ready to crawl!

Have a happy thanksgiving everyone!

So much fun!

We have had lots of visitors the past few weekends...
Aunt Katie came from East Lansing last weekend. Here She is feeding Claire! She got to watch Reagan and claire for two hours while Mommy made Mommy giving her opinions on diapers.
Here is Reagan when he was finished, we can't blame Aunt Katie for this one though.
Grandma and Grandpa Wil also came that weekend. They took R & C to a soccer game while Mommy, Daddy, and Aunt Katie watched the MSU game...which did not go so well BTW.
Claire saying hello!
Reagan enjoying some "helmet free" time.

We had some other visitors the weekend before from Royal Oak. Mike, Erin and Madeleine came to visit. We had so much fun and learned a lot about what we have to look forward to when Reagan and Claire are Madeleine's age!
Our first swing ride!

Check back later this week for more pics including some from the Halloween Parade!
