The Boys Are 9 Months Old!

This month can be summed up with several words: chicken pox, discovery, and growth.


Chicken Pox -- Jason had a pretty bad case of the pox. He broke out in hundreds of spots. They were everywhere. He's finally feeling better and starting to heal. Sadly, the pox haven't fully left our house. With Shawn's poxes just starting (darn it), I know this next month will be just as exhausting as the one we just left. At least to start with. I can't wait until everyone is finally over them and normalcy can return.


Discovery -- The boys have discovered each other. It is really sweet to watch them stare at each other and smile. They coo at each other, scream back and forth, and laugh at each other. One of my favorite things is to hear them talk back and forth in their cribs, as they do most afternoons at nap time.


Growth -- Shawn has finally caught up to his brother in both weight and height. While there is only an inch difference between them, their weights are now only ounces apart. The best part is that Jason doesn't look so huge when he is next to Shawn. They actually look fairly close in size now. This growth spurt, however, has sent me to start investigating new car seats. We have probably less than a month before they outgrow the ones they came home from the hospital in. They are so big now that I can almost forget how small they were initially. Almost.


Yikes. Only three more months until they are 1!
