...and we're walking!

Naylor has been taking two or three steps here and there, but last Saturday his best buddy Luke came over (Luke has been walking about 2 weeks) and that was all it took! Naylor had to keep up with Luke and so he's now walking. Each day he gets more and more confident and stable, but if he's in a real hurry to get away from you (especially when playing chase, his most favorite game in the whole world), he gets down on all fours to get a move on. He's so funny walking around - takes up to 8-10 steps then drops down to crawl. This morning was the first time he 'ran' - I think he surprised himself with how fast he was moving. :)

Lalon continues to do well - she's 1 month old already - I can't believe it! She was actually due this week, so we'll see if the Special Care nurse was right that she'd 'wake up' on her due date. She certainly is much more alert when she is awake though, so that's fun to talk to her during those times.

We also got great news from the pediatrician this morning - Lalon was approved for the RSV vaccine and we go to get her first dose on Tuesday. This will just be another thing to help us keep her healthy through this winter season with all the different kinds of crud roaming around the place.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Well, we went today for Lalon's 2 week check up and she's doing great! She's now been home for a whole week (hence no updates!) and is eating and sleeping just fine. Lalon is now 5 lbs, 13.5 oz and has gained 10 oz since being home - she's doing so great! We go back in another 2 weeks for her 1 month check.

Naylor has been a great big brother so far and likes to come up and touch her toes when we're holding her. He went with us to the dr today - thought he may have an ear infection - but that's not the case, just some molars cutting through! He was also lucky enough (not sure he'd call it that) to get his first dose of H1N1 vaccine. He goes back to the dr in December for his 15 month check - boy how time flies by!

So I've now been home with 2 kids all by myself for 3 full days now (Brian did help on our trip to the dr) and we've all lived through it. I think the key to successful days is our 10 am family nap time! :)

More updates to come and hopefully some pictures too... maybe after this week I can get on a more regular posting routine. The pictures attached are from last Wed when we brought Lalon home and Naylor got to meet her for the first time - he was pretty curious for about 30 seconds and then had other things to check out...
