One Month...the time flies

So, I agreed to do a quick blog post in Jenny's stead...these days we have to divide and conquer tasks, so actually I was told that I had to create an entry.   Apologies in advance for inappropriate references.

This past week we celebrated the one month birthday of the boys.  The celebration consisted of feeding, burping, changing diapers, and begging them to go to sleep for more than 30 consecutive minutes.  It was a real hoot, as the picture shows.

Since the last post the major accomplishments include:  Kellen grasped a pacifier with his hand, took it out of his mouth and held if for like 10 seconds.  Liam has started to burp a little bit, which is nice because the gas might be under control soon.  Both have begun developing their sense of humor, as they have both found that a ripping good time can be had by urinating, defecating, or vomiting on mom, dad, or anyone else who happens to be within range.  Liam even threw up on Kellen's face, which was quite a site to behold.  The biggest accomplishment for mom and dad was learning the proper use of a rectal thermometer, including dealing with the inevitable valve release following the temperature taking.  

The boys have also started to develop a sibling rivalry.  It seems like anytime they are within an arms reach of each other they start hitting and kicking each other.  It is pretty funny now, but I'm sure that will lose it's charm.  Today, Uncle Jed put down Liam next to Kellen, both of whom were sleeping.  Within a couple of seconds, Kellen smacked Liam, which is a pretty remarkable reaction time for a sleeping baby.  What an angel.

The party goes on until the feeding is done.

So, we are looking forward to the end of the month when the boys will get their shots and we can take them out of the house.  We are all a little stir-crazy and will surely benefit from visiting the world outside our house.  We have a lot to show them and can hardly wait!
