5 months

Holly cow, 5 months now how can that be?  These two little boys are growing, growing, growing!!! 

Keegan is rolling from front to back and talking up a storm.  It is rather sweet when he talks to you.

Padraig is in love with the exersauser.  There is a Lion on it that he loves to chat with.  He has been increasing his volume of talking as well, and his volume is literally increasing. 

The sweet sound of Keegan's talking  is offset by the boistrous sounds of Padraig talking.  They are night and day at times and so similar at other times.

I know how much I love my neice, my friends kids, but really you just don't understand until they are yours.  I wish I could explain it, but I do know that I really didn't 'get it' until these two blessings came into our world. 

I find my patience for Keegan and Paddy is boundless, but I do find it rather funny when Chuck, who is the most patient and calm person I know gets annoyed with the crying.  We are rather spoiled as our boys really don't cry much, knock on wood that keeps up.    Chuck is seriously so much help I know I couldn't do this by myself and I don't.  I have so much help from family, friends, we are 120% blessed.

 

4 months

Keegan and Padraig had their 4 month appointment on Wednesday the 28th.  Keegan was 12lbs 5.8oz and 23inches long.  Padraig was 13lbs 1.2oz and 23.25 inches long.  They did the head circumferences and Padraig’s was in the 7% and Keegan’s was in the 25%.  Which is rather funny because they aren't back dating anything for us so everything else is around 5%.  The good thing is they are on the curve and increasing every time we go.

The boys set their own schedule each day normally eating between 4am and 5:30am, it seems like if they sleep thru this feeding, like they did today, they can usually make it until 7:30 or so.  Yes these kids are pretty great on old mom and dad.  I guess this means we are in for it when they get older. ;-)  They usually eat about every 4 hours.  Their normal schedule has them eating around 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm with the morning feed varying. 

Keegan has started flashing huge smiles and really loves to talk.  He is so cute!

Oh yea and Padraig is starting to teeth already, and he is so cute as well!!  Padraig is the ladies man flashing smiles that light up his whole body.

The boys accompanied me to a quilting weekend at the coast this past weekend.  Nana and grandma were there too along with lots of other lovely ladies.  The boys did an excellent job of being babies.  They really were a delight and so good! I will add some photos next time I get a few minutes.  I just wanted to update you!
