So the boys are now 6 1/2 months old! Wow time flies! They are so big and so fun now! They are so giggly and smiley! Carsten loves to blow raspberries and Ethan is just well Ethan.... On March 1st Ethan was 20lbs 5 oz and 30 1/2 inches long and Car was 16lbs 13 1/2 oz and 28 1/2 inches. They also have had their first ear infections at the same time and antibiotics... no fun. Ethan has 2 teeth and Car has 1 and the second one should break through literally any minute! Anyway, pics....

4 Months

Wow! The boys are getting so big! Ethan weighs 17 1/2 lbs and is 27 inches long!! and Carsten is 14 1/2 lbs and 25 1/2 inches long! Yes their weights are that different! Ethan is the size of a 6 month old while Carsten is finally where he is supposed to be! They are now cooing and laughing out loud and smiling alot! We are eating cereal now and doing ok with that. We are still getting the hang of the spoon! They almost sleep all night and should be doing so soon! Ethan is trying to roll over but his arms get in the way. Carsten is still taking his time meeting his milestones, usually about a week after brother! He is still on track, he just wants Ethan to try first!! haha
We started a sitter this last week and they seem to be doing ok with that. She is a friend of ours so that is so much better (and cheaper) than daycare where they could get who know what disease!! Mommy and daddy are doing ok as well. We seem to be tired all the time though!! Twin boys are alot alot of work (I mean lots!!). Enjoy the pictures!

We are all awake!

Well I figure once a month in updating this is pretty good! haha Ethan and Carsten are doing great. At their last pediatrician appointment on Oct 26, Ethan was 12 lbs 6 oz and Carsten was 9lbs 14 oz. They are growing great. Ethan has started to smile more and coo occasionally and Carsten is just now starting to get the smile thing down though he has had a few coos as well. They are growing like little weeds. Ethan is just about out of 0-3 months clothes and Carsten is filling them out nicely! :)
I will leave you all with a few more pictures of Halloween etc. I have a hard time getting them in the order I want so they may not be all jumbled, just look at the date on the pic (if you can!)!

Loving their play mat!

Tummy Time!
