5 MONTHS

Will & Theo are five months today!! They are wearing their new summer clothes from mommy's older brother and his fiance - Uncle Joe and Kristen - THANK YOU!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Ryan and I went to my adopted mothers for a family & family friends BBQ...

Theo asleep on my mom...

Will asleep on family friend Sue...

Theo still chillin w/ my mom...he was really relaxed that day - not common for little T-bear.

Will w/ Daddy!! Look at those eyes!!

My sister Emily's new little puppy Henna - chillin in the sun against the house after swimming in the pond. So cute!!


The next day we went to Ryan's moms for another family BBQ...


Remember how small Will looked next to his Pats woobie - now his feet are half the size!!

Will is now bigger than the changing pad - so we use a burp cloth under his head sometimes...

My sister-in -law & her husbands new "baby" Rufus - chocolate cuteness!!

Theo asleep w/ Grammie

Our best family portrait yet...

On the way home Will kept trying to look at me over the back of his carseat-apparently it took too much work!!

May Milestones

Developmentally Will's motor skills are ahead of the curve for a preemie - despite his recent injury and immobility!!
Grasping a small toy...
holding his bottle - w/ONE hand...

...shaking his arm w/ a rattle on it and realizing he was the one doing it...

...reaching for hanging toys...

...and standing in his new shoes!!

Theo has some things he is accomplishing developmentally, but they are mostly neurological and emotional - w/ the exception on his standing and stepping...

Theo sleeping on his back in the boppy and w/ his legs held up...

...finally falling asleep by self soothing....

...falling asleep and not waking up in transition and screaming like he usually does...

...and having tummy time on my chest and not screaming but being calm enough to sleep...

...and standing and stepping w/ only little support in his new little soft soled shoes!!

Sleepy Snuggles

The boys have been found sleeping in the strangest positions and are a lot more snuggly

Theo w/ /arms back behind himself w/ his face planted in the boppy pillow - at least he has his legs pulled up under him...

...usually we find him more like this - still holding onto "raffe" for dear life!!

Theo and Daddy both fell asleep on the couch...

...despite the funny position Theo still is clutching "raffe".

Theo pretty much will only sleep if he is face to face w/ "raffe". If he is not just so - Theo cries!

Will loves to snuggle his little lamb too - he love his "amby"!!

This is pretty much the only way I can get them to sleep for their morning nap - on our bed!!

Before their afternoon nap they have playtime in the crib together...

...and of course we cannot forget their "pluggies"!! Look at those cute faces!!

William Wounded

This month started out w/ William tossing himself out of Ryan's arms - resulting in a wounded arm. Though both the doctor in the ER and the orthopedic surgeon told Ryan this type of arm injury was common in little infants and toddlers - of course this did not make Ryan feel any better!! Here are some pictures of him through the whole ordeal.

Grammie visiting that afternoon

Resting w/ Daddy while Mommy was getting his things together to go to the ER

Cozy & ready to go...

His room in the Norwood ER

Getting put in the ambulance - how brave little Will was!!

Resting while buckled in...I think he handled it better than Mama!!

Resting during out 5 hour wait for the bone Doctor @ Childrens - w/ an uncomfortable ace wrapped around his little body

The bed they had for Will - at the end of a hall in a room full of supplies. It was not comforting to Mama at all - especially since we saw NOBODY for hours!!

Ready to go home!! This is the only way his coat fit w/ his cast and sling on!!

Grammie taking care of Will back at home w/ his little fiberglass cast and sling on...
...and Mama after being up all night.

Good times w/ Grampy!

The boys practicing their walking on Daddy & Grampy's laps - they are getting good!!

Here is a good photo of the three generations!!

You can tell that Theo is the the little peanut and Will is the big Moose!!

No more walking or standing please...

Theo was totally wimpering!! - Look at that lip!!

Will was all smiles!!
