It's been a crazy week! Jon made it home safe and sound last Saturday (the 17th). He had a good trip, but was glad to be home and we were glad to have him here!!

The boys have been doing good. Matthias is getting so big and can sit up on his own now. He can't sit by himself for an extended period of time, but we are getting there. I also noticed last night when I laid him down that when he is on his belly he is now trying to creep. I guess it won't be long before I have two mobile babies in the house! Matthias has also started wearing his 6-9 months clothes. I forgot how many clothes we had!! I kept a few of his 3-6 months clothes out, but only the ones that ran big.

Justus is doing well, although he has been sick for the past few days. It all started Friday. We were on our way to the Y and I turn around and Justus is getting sick. Friday and Saturday he was pretty sick. Yesterday he got sick first thing in the morning, but hasn't gotten sick since then. We are hoping that the bug has run it's cycle and that today will be a pretty normal day.

Here's a few pictures! Hope you enjoy your Memorial Day!

My happy little baby!

Justus loves wearing my sunglasses!

His head is way too heavy to hold up!

Matthias' first taste of squash!

He loves the camera!

Tooth Alert!

Just a quick update. Two of Justus' teeth popped through his gums today! So that will make 8 total teeth. He is getting his third tooth on the bottom, and one of his first molars on the top. I'm pretty sure I know why he has been getting up so early lately. I had no idea about the molar coming in. He has 3 more that are getting ready to pop through as well. I hope they all make their debut within the next week so we can get back on a regular schedule!

Jon and I had a wonderful trip to Chicago. We had so much fun exploring the city and going to museums. We enjoyed our time alone, but were excited to get home and see our baby boys!!

Last week Matthias had his 6 month check-up. He now weighs 18 lbs. 8 oz (75th percentile) and is 26 1/4 in. long (50th percentile). The doctor said he is doing great! He does however have to go see a urologist in July because the doctor said he has meatal stenosis, which can cause problems when he is urinating. Anyways, it's nothing serious, but we still have to go get it checked out. He also got a few shots at his check-up, which he didn't enjoy too much. He was kind of cranky that night, but he was fine the next day.

Justus is doing great as well. He still isn't talking, but for now we aren't too worried about it. We have had a lot of encouragement from our friends, and we think he is going to be just fine. He is getting big though, and more and more independent. He insists on doing things by himself. He doesn't want help with stairs or picking things up or anything. He still loves being outside and throws a fit whenever it is time to go inside. I'm just glad it's starting to get nice outside so that we can spend more time in the yard!!

Mother's Day was wonderful, although Jon did have to leave for Malibu yesterday morning. He is gone all week, which is kind of sad. He still made sure to make Mother's Day special though. I ended up spending the day with my parents, which was fun.

Here is a picture of Jon and I at Wrigley. I need to get the camera out and take some pictures of the boys!!
