7 Months Old!

The twins turned 7 months old yesterday! I know I say this every month, but it just amazes me at how fast time goes! We officially put the house on the market Thursday. Today, we went to the park while they were showing our house. We had a really nice picnic and enjoyed hanging out under the shade tree. However, about 10 minutes after we left the park, Brody started coughing and having trouble breathing. We noticed that the area around his eyes were blue and he had a rash on his neck and chest. We immediately went to Target and got him some Benadryl. Benadryl did the trick and after a good nap, he woke up acting just fine. Whatever it was that caused his allergic reaction, it sure scared us all! A HUGE thank you to Grandma Farnan for everything you did for us last week! We appreciate you more than you'll ever know! (Keep the prayers coming that our house sells quickly!)

Memorial Day

We have been busy, or maybe I should say Bryan, has been busy trying to get the house ready to put on the market. Please say a prayer that it sells quickly! The twins have been very fussy lately from teething. Brynn got her second bottom tooth on Saturday! She is starting to take an interest in crawling, but hasn't quite figured out that she needs to get that big belly off the ground:) She also has become very interested in whatever we are eating and thinks she needs to try a bite of everything. She can get to us in a hurry in her walker to get a bite! She continues to talk a lot, especially in the car and loves Truman so much. Her face just lights up when she gets near him! Still no teeth for Brody:( That boy definitely needs some teeth because he is always ready to eat! He doesn't care if it is baby food or our food, he will eat it! We joke that he is our "little garbage disposal." He has taken a slight detour from crawling because he has realized he can sit up from laying on his belly. Bryan found him this morning sitting up in the corner of his crib. He is constantly on the move and it is never in one place for too long! He is really squealing a lot too when he gets excited!

Our thoughts and prayers to all of our family members and other loved ones that have passed away that have made a lasting impression on our lives, especially Grandpa Farnan. Dad, I wish you were here to enjoy our "little miracles" as much as we do. I think I would have made you real proud!

Congratulations Clint!

Wow, what a busy four days we have had! On Friday night, we went to our nephew Clint's graduation party. Congratulations Clint! It was really good to see everyone. There were people there that I bet I haven't seen in over 10 years! On Saturday, we did the Crawl for Cancer. We had a lot of fun! Yesterday, I took the twins to get their 6 month pictures taken. They did pretty well. Brody was his usual goofball self. Brynn did well for the first hour, then that was it. Hopefully, we get some cute pictures! Last night, Bryan and I took the twins to the Infant Massage Class through Parents as Teachers. Our children were definitely the center of attention! Brynn jabbered a lot through the class. She was a pretty good participant, however she would have preferred to eat her feet than get a massage:) Brody could have really cared less about the whole thing! He was too busy trying to crawl and make noise to get a massage:) I really wish we could have attended the class when they were 2-4 months old because I think they really could have benefited from it, especially Brody when he was having constipation problems. Thankfully, there's not a whole lot going on the rest of the week. Hopefully, the weather will stay nice and we can get outside a lot this week!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms who follow our blog, especially Grandma Farnan and Grandma Madden. Thank you for all that you do for us! We went out to dinner last night to celebrate at Texas Roadhouse. Brynn was quite the handful during dinner trying to get to everything on the table:) She is surprisingly becoming very quick at grabbing things she wants:) Thankfully, Brody slept through most of dinner or we would have been in for a real treat! Today when I got home from work, Bryan had a fabulous dinner ready for me with flowers. Thank you, honey! The flowers are beautiful! However, I got the best Mother's Day present from Brynn. She got her first tooth today! Her bottom left tooth barely broke through, but it's there:) Her bottom right will be here soon too! No teeth yet for B-boy. We had a busy weekend. Yesterday, we went to Olivia's 2nd birthday party. As you can tell from the pictures, the twins really enjoyed the cake:) The last picture is of all the Madden grandchildren. Poor Brody is a bit out numbered!

6 Month Doctor's Appointment

The twins had their 6 month doctor's appointment on Tuesday. They BOTH weighed 17lb. 6oz (Brody-50%,Brynn-75%) and BOTH were 26.75 inches tall (Brody-63%,Brynn-90%). We were very surprised that all their measurements were the same, even their head circumferences were the same! We thought for sure Brynn had a pound or so on him! Poor babies got three shots each and another oral Rotavirus vaccine. They both cried when they got their shots, especially Brynn. She had crocodile tears running down her cheeks:( Dr. Gilmer said everything looked good. Brody even tried to crawl for her:) They don't have another appointment until they are 10 months.

6 Months Old Already!

The pictures are from the Parkville Brew Festival we went to yesterday. We had a really great time with Valerie and enjoyed tasting all of the different beers! The twins were good as usual and enjoyed people watching and listening to the band. We have been extremely busy lately. It seems we have something to do all the time! Today, we spent a lot of time outside and planted some bushes and did some landscaping. We are hoping to have our house on the market some time this summer. If you can imagine, we are outgrowing our house:)

The twins are doing good and changing so fast! Brody is still our little goofball and is coming close to crawling. He is rolling all over the place and going to be getting into everything sooner than I would like:) He continues to be on the move in his walker and gets pretty much wherever he wants to. Brynn is starting to be more outgoing. She has once again discovered that she has a voice and is constantly making noise. I don't think she shut up the whole way home from Parkville yesterday:) She loves Truman and gets so excited when he comes near her. She really has no interest in crawling yet. They have their 6 month doctor's appointment on Tuesday and we are very excited to see how much they weigh. Have a great week!
