Long, overdue update with pictures!

I know it's been forever since I've written anything. The boys have kept me so busy and life just takes over. A few days after my last post, Riley ended up spending 11 hours in the ER getting various breathing treatments and oral steroids. He was having retracting when he was breathing and was wheezing a lot. I had done a few breathing treatments at home and it wasn't helping and I wasn't comfortable going to bed for the night with him having so much trouble. Tested negative for RSV so it was just some virus/cold that really took the boys out of commission for a few weeks. We've made a rule for at least the winter months, that all of the toys used for therapy sessions will be toys we have at home. Having the therapists come in with a duffel bag of new toys is always exciting for the boys but I just can't chance them being exposed to all of those germs.
Therapy is going so well for them! Addison is crawling on his hands and knees and pulling up to stand on anything he can reach. Riley is pulling up to his knees and crawls on his knees and elbows. Addison is putting shapes into the shape sorter and both boys can go from crawling to sitting with no assistance.
This past Friday, while I was at a doctors appointment, Addison stood up in the middle of the living room by himself! Ian said he nearly jumped off the couch to grab him before he fell over.
Both of the boys are developing their own personalities and they are so much fun to watch! They're constantly playing together and they'll follow each other through the house. They have huge appetites and are eating so many new foods. Addison ate an entire piece of pizza for dinner the other night.

Sitting all by himself!!!

Cheese curls and yogurt makes for a messy snack!

You should buy that Clorox spray (I think that's what it's called). But you can spray it on toys and give it a quick wipe and it's safe for use immediatley. I use it all the time when the girls are sick.
