The boys had their six month pediatrician appointment where they got their shots and the green light to start introducing cereal. We were shocked (not really) that the boys are big eaters and are having no problems eating solid foods. They have started monitoring mom and dad’s food choices, so we knew they were ready.
Below are some pictures of Aaron and Asher enjoying their first bowl of baby cereal.
Anders and Asher finally had their urologist consultation where it was decided to move forward right away and schedule their surgeries. Anders will have his hernias repaired first and since they are so large they will wait to repair his hypospadia in about three months, after he has recovered fully. Asher will have both his hernias and hypospadia repaired at the same time. We have scheduled their surgery for Wednesday, October 27. They boys will stay overnight in the hospital, but should have a short recovery time of about 4 to 5 days.
Below is a fun picture of Anders wearing his bear hat on our daily run.
Asher also had a neurologist follow-up appointment where they turned up the pressure in his shunt to slow the draining of fluid. He keeps making progress and is doing very well!
Below is a fun picture of Asher on the changing table wearing his pants on his head.
We have also been busy with football. The boys love watching the Vikings on the big screen with mom and dad. They boys also had a mid-week outing out to watch their cousin Luke’s fourth grade football game.
Below are some family Viking pictures.
Other fun developmental stuff,
- Aaron is holding his head up while laying on his tummy, practicing standing , and is starting to sit with very little assistance.
- Asher has taken a strong liking to his jumperoo and is quite the kicker. Without failure, he manages to kick his diaper off the changing table at least a couple times a day.
- Anders is quite the talker, he babbles in almost full sentences.
Weight Update: Aaron 15lbs 3oz, Asher 14lbs 1oz, and Anders 10lbs 4oz
