My arm is broke!!!

Poor little Greyson! Our little buddy had an accident while dad was putting him in his car seat at pick up from day care. Greyson wasn't fully  buckled in and sat forward, tipping his carseat forward and off the edge of the little table it was on. He fell forward onto the ground, bringing the car seat with him. We felt horrible!!! He fractured both radius and ulna, but the doctor is hopeful that it will heal up just fine despite the break going to the growth plate. Oh man, Greyson, we are so so sorry. Daddy feels awful. But you are such a little trooper. You've been happy and active, even using that arm before we knew it was broken. It should take three weeks to heal, so he has to stay in the cast that long and hopefully not learn to swing it around like a weapon. Watch out Ellie!!!

They got Grey Grey all set up!

He did it for reals today!!

Greyson officially walked today, on his cousin Kallan's birthday (Kallan turned 9). Many big steps in a row. He was so excited. Now it could have been the help of the steroids he got from today's doctors visit but whatever. It counts!!! That means both twins are walking right before turning 1!!! Go twin let's!!

Daycare and illness

Well we have been going to daycare for a month now and for the most part it's been great. Today was the first day Grey didn't cry when I handed him over to the teacher. But now Ellie has started to cry when I drop her off. They do great if I put them straight into their breakfast seats but if I feed them at home and pass them to the teacher, that's when the crying happens. The biggest thing is the sickness. I have been to the doctor 3 times so far for high fever and congestion. From not being sick a day in their life to what feels like constant illness is tough to take. Grey was do congested he couldn't suck his bottle. Poor baby. We have been using the nose frida on them both multiple times a day to get the snot out. I thought about putting a picture of all the snot from the nose frida because it is quite impressive but then I thought better of it. Instead here is just a picture of the device. It's been a lifesaver!!

Grey takes his first steps!

Well I think Grey is watching his sister and deciding to give it a go. He walked 5 steps yesterday. The first couple small and tentative. Then I reach out my arms to him and he lunges forward with an open mouthed happy face. So the last few steps are just the momentum carrying him forward but I'll take it. At this point Ellie is walking all over the place, turning directions and getting the awkward zombie wobble out. We are so proud of these little guys! Next week they turn 1.
