Brianna crawling

Here is video of Brianna crawling. She still doesn't use her legs much. More so just pulling her self with her arms. Still gets around nicely though. Funny part is we have to keep her in pants or she will get carpet burns on her knees. The expression on her face when she does it is priceless. She grabs her knees with a With a perplexed look wondering why they hurt. LOL!

Random pictures

Here are some random pictures taken of the twins.

b-day party

Recently my niece (Madison) turned 3 and we took the twins to her b-day party. Here are a couple of pictures. Overall they are both doing great. Brandon is now eating like a horse and quickly putting on all the weight he lost when he had pneumonia. He has also already cut his second tooth and looks like 2-3 more could break the skin any day. Ironically they are all on the top. Still nothing on the bottom yet. Poor Brianna isn't even showing signs of teeth. The positive about her is she has now started to crawl. She is still trying to figure it out, but deffinately making progress scooting across the floor.

Brianna

She growing like a weed. At her last check up which we did early due to getting another round of synagis shot she grew 2 inches. She now is 28 1/4 inches long and 17 lbs 13 oz. She is definitely taking after the Kelley family (mommy's side). She is now wearing atleast a size 6 -9 top and 9-12 pants(more on the larger side due to her long legs).

She is rolling all over the living room floor giving mommy and daddy a rough time. Brianna loves to laugh(with her sneaking laugh) when mommy tells her "no". She is making lots of sounds including dada. She gets extremely excited when the woof woof aka "Summer" comes running near her. She is finally sitting up and staying up for awhile. She is starting to pull herself up on mommy and daddy. Brianna is a little toot when it comes to Brandon. She loves taking his toys and especially his pacifier. She doesn't even use a pacifier. She loves to hit balls together and also clap her hands together. At dinner time she is still eating level 2 foods and drinking 4 (7-8 oz) bottles a day. She gets extremely cranky when she is tired but heaven forbid you just put her in her crib. She acts like it is the end of the world. When she does fall asleep she can sleep through anything. On weekends she loves to sleep in not like her brother who is an early riser. She takes after her Daddy "before babies".

Brandon

After his battle with viral infections, bronchitis and pnuemonia he is finally coming back to the HAPPY little boy we love so much. He lost so much weight in the last two months. At his 9th month check up which we did 1 week and 3 days early he weighed the same he did at 7 months. He is now 14 lbs 12 oz. (Yea he gained 11 oz in one week after being in the hospital). He is still shorter than Brianna - he has grown 2 inches. He is 26 3/4 inches long. Poor baby he has been through so much in the last 2 months. Last Monday he got tested for allergies and the results came back negative. We are now being referred to an asthma/allergy specialist to figure out if he has asthma since. Another thing thing we are going to look into having him tested for is cystic fibrosis (because of how often he is sick)and Down Synrome. Guen is waiting on the referrals to go through in order to have thse test run and to see the allergists. We will keep you informed.

He is still trying to figure out how to get off of his stomach when he rolls onto to it. He gets so frustrated that he can not do something. He might not be rolling all over the floor quite yet however, he manages to get around. He is funny about taking his breathing treatments - he looks like he is smoking. We will get a picture of it soon.


FIRST TOOTH

TODAY daddy was feeling around in Brandon's mouth and found out the hard way that Brandon HAS a HIS FIRST TOOTH. Yea! he beat his sister on who was going to get the first tooth. He never even showed any signs of getting a new tooth.

Finally back home

It has been a long week for Guen and Brandon. After being admitted into the hospital on Wednesday, he was finally released Sunday morning. He still has a pretty nasty cough, but he is feeling much better and his appetite is slowly returning. It's good to have him back home and most importantly to see his smile return. Doctors say it could still take some time to completely get over this. He is also being refered to a asthma and alergy specialist to try to figure out exactly what is going on and if we can't keep this from happening again.

ER Visit January 14th

Once at the ER Brandon now had a fever of 100.6 and his oxygen saturation level was in the low 90's. They took X-rays twice at two different times. The first one showed that he had Bronchilitis Pneumonia. The second one was taken later and the pneumonia was worse. The doctor on staff told us that they would admit us however, we had to wait on a room to be cleaned. Brandon recieved a breathing treatment while we waited. We actually got to see how much he needed the oxygen because he was hooked up to the oxygen saturation level while he did the breathing treatment. We were in the ER for 5 hours. We were in a sealed off room and did not have to deal with the other patients.
