Sorry I haven't had the time!

Hello all!  I just realized that I haven't written a blog entry since September!!!  Holy cow where does the time go????  I know I have had some time to myself, but I have either spent is napping, cleaning or just vegging out staring at the TV. 

Anyways things have been going great here!  The boys are almost 7 months now, which is just crazy.  So really they are just 5 months now (adjusted age).  So much has happened with them!  Lets see...I'll start with Nate.

NATE
Well lets see...He is almost 20 pounds now!!  He is pretty much sitting up by himself, although he will sometimes fall over, so I have to be close to him.  His personality is coming through.  He's an observer...the strong and silent type.  He likes to just watch what's going on around him before he gets comfortable.  He loves to smile and I have only heard him laugh once, my Mom got him to do a full on belly laugh at Christmas.  He does what we like to call the Hulk stomp!  When he's lying on the floor he stomps his feet and looks like a baby Hulk.  The one person who can make him smile anytime??  It's Emma.  He adores her!!  He is starting to like his baths, but he's getting so big that he need a bath seat now cause Matt has a hard time holding him in the tub.  He's a great eater!  Tried hummus the other day and liked it!  Loves peaches, bananas and trying whatever is on Mom's plate..which I totally encourage.  I was eating ziti the other day and I gave him a noodle to suck on and he loved it.  (here's hoping it stays that way!)  Oh yes and he groans while he is trying to fall asleep...it's too cute.  His favorite toy is a tool bench that my parents got him for Christmas.  In a week and a half he's figured out how to work everything on it.

HUDSON
He is probably about 16-17 pounds now.  He rolled over on Christmas Eve and has done it a few times but now has stopped again.  He's doing great on tummy time!  Loves to kick his legs like he could just crawl away any second!  He's a little card!  Always has a huge smile on his face and loves to laugh and especially loves tickles!  He's no where near sitting up on his own...I have to help him with that.  He still has a lot of muscle weakness...but he's already come to far in just a few weeks...he'll get there soon.  He loves to stand and giggle at the dogs and cats and of course Emma....he also adores Emma.  He also loves to sing....at the top of his lungs!!!  This screeching singing...and then he looks around to see who's watching.  Mommy's little show off!! lol  He's a bit more picky on the food...banana's seem to be his fav...especially in this lil holder that he can suck on the banana pieces.  He still isn't a big eater.  His favorite toy is the baby playmat he loves to sing at the hanging toys and chew on them, kick them all that sort of baby stuff.  He also loves his Elli...a stuffed Elephant that he sucks on all the time.

We all had a great Christmas this year.  Although Matt's Dad had a health scare but has been doing a lot better now after some time in the Kelowna hospital.  We were all pretty stressed out, worrying about him.  But it's good to have him home again. 

We started a biggest loser contest 2 weeks ago.  Myself, Matt, my Mom and Aunt are all doing it.  It's been going well...each person has agreed to put in 100.00 and the winner take all.  It's a lot of planning with the meals, but it's been fun.  We've really supported one another and shared recipes.  So the next 6 months should be interesting!! 

Anyways that's about it for now....we're freezing up here....although -10 is better than -38!!!  Here a few pictures to show how much they are changing right now!  Take care all!!
