Our Little Noise Maker!

Our cute Jax is so fun! When it comes to being noisy - Jax is definitely the loudest! He makes 3 very distinct "Jax" sounds lately. (and many others for certain needs of course) He has completely found his voice and so since then, about a month or so ago, he loves to hear it. It's funny because even when he first came home, he was very loud and grunty and we attributed it to his reflux mostly but now I'm wondering if he really just likes to hear himself. He is so cute! We finally after MANY attempts - got him to preform on cue. Apparently, we are all a little camera shy at our house. Anyway, here you go... this is Jax performing his loudest sound and one he does the most.

Will it be an inny or outy?

When Austin was about 2 months old, we started to notice his belly button poke out a bit and we were thinking it was no big deal since my nephew Zak had had the same thing happen to his belly button and now it is fine. However, it started to get A LOT worse and when we went to their 2 month doctor appnt, his doctor said that sometimes if it doesn't go away by age 5 or so, they eventually need surgery. I was thinking, "no way!" How sad for him to have to go that long with his giant belly button! They are called herniated belly buttons and are apparently pretty common. They don't hurt them at all and they make a really squishy sound when pushed back in which Spence did, not me! It made me nervous and squeamish to do that.

Here is his before pics: (Yah, it really was that big! WOW! - now you know why we were scared)

However, we are pleased to report that Austin's belly button FINALLY went down. It actually has been down for about 6 weeks or so but it looks great - you'd never even know!

We're 5 Months!

The babies turned 5 months on the 30th of May - YEAH!! (adjusted - they are now 3 1/2 months) I say it every month but time flies by so quickly! They are so big and doing so well. Happy 5 months you three - we love you so much :)
Here's a pick of them at 5 months: I took two since some were looking, some were not on the first - you know how pics go. We'll never have a great family photo - I better get used to it hu? :)
