Small update with lots of pictures

I know this blog has been neglected over the past few months. Life seems to be flying by and it's quite a task to try to sit down and type more than a few sentences.

Last weekend, Addison gave us a little scare. Saturday evening, he spiked a fever. His temperature was 101. The pediatricians office was closed for the day and he didn't have any other problems so I decided to just wait and see how he was the next morning. Sunday morning we woke up and his temp. was 102.6. I had to wait 2 hours for the pediatricians office to open and then another 2 hours before they could see him. He had no other symptoms but I spent that morning freaking out. Both of the big kids are getting over some pretty bad colds and croup and I was certain that Addison was getting whatever the big kids had. We finally got to the peds office and it was determined that it was just a mystery fever. She said it could be from his teeth coming in, a late reaction from the dtp shot he had got 2 days beforehand, or a random virus. She also said that it could be the start of something more and that I just caught it too early. She told me to give him Tylenol as needed and if the fever lasted more than 24 hours, to bring him back. Well, we got home that afternoon, I gave him a dose of Tylenol, and he hasn't had a fever since.

Other than that fun event, the boys have been doing well. Their physical therapist is happy with their development so far and we've moved from working on their rolling to working on them sitting unassisted. They can both sit for 5-10 seconds before they start to fall.

They're both overall happy babies. They are almost always smiling and they babble all of the time. Almost every time they lay next to each other, they try to steal pacifiers.

Addison got to have his first taste of infant cereal. He managed to eat a little more than half. Riley still hasn't had his turn yet. His head control is just a little bit behind Addison's and I thought it would be better if I wait until he's a little bit stronger.

And, here are a few pictures of Riley. He's started sucking on his fingers. If I try to give him his pacifier, he pulls it out and puts his first 2 fingers in his mouth.
