Fun at the beach

Guen took the twins to her Aunt's house down on the coast for their first trip to the beach. They had a blast even though Brianna is going through a clingy stage with Guen.





It was a long day and everyone was wiped!

St. Patty's day

Since it was Guens Spring Break and the Twins first St. Patrick's Day, they celebrated by getting dressed up and going to the park and zoo.

Just when things were going good...

So everything has been going good for a little over a month and Brandon has been staying healthy. Obviously all good things must come to an end. Both Brandon and Brianna spent this past Friday night with Mimi (Guens mom) to give us a break and so Guen could go to the Rodeo BBQ cook-off. We picked them up Saturday afternoon and noticed both felt a little warm. When we got home we checked and sure enough both were running a fever. Brandons was around 101^ and Briannas was around 100^. No big deal as neither were really cranky and still eating fine. A little baby tylenol and off to bed they went that night. We did go ahead and schedule a doctors appointment for Brandon for Monday morning just to be on the safe side. Around 1 a.m. we both got up to Brandon crying. He felt extremely warm and we were alarmed to see his temperature had spiked to 105^. So exactly 10 months from the day of his birth, he was rushed to the ER with Guen while I stayed at home with Brianna. Most tests came back negetive with only the x-ray of his chest showing his bronchitis had returned. They got back home around 4 a.m. with his fever back down to a more tolerable 99^ and poor Guen got a full 1 hour sleep before it was time to get back up for work. I stayed home with him on monday and we went in to see his normal pediatrician where blood work showed his had yet another viral infection to go along with double ear infections. Poor guy continues his crack addict routine with getting put on yet another round of antibiotics. This good thing is his fever seems to have now broke and has remained normal since Monday morning around 8 a.m. which is amazingly only 7 hours since it hit 105^.

True to form Brianna only slightly got the sickness and seemed to get over it within a day.

SSDD!!!

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".
