Go Cowboys!!!

It's football season and the cowboys are 2-0! Superbowl, here we come....maybe?!?! Who knows....although I do know who the cutest #1 cowboy fan is.....

Helmet....

We have a helmet!! Teagan had it fitted yesterday and wore it most of the day. She didn't even seem to care. Last night she did great too. She looks so cute in it. It makes her face look even more round, which I didn't know was possible. She looks like she's about to go out on the field and kick some football butt. I'm currently trying to find someone to decorate it so it doesn't look so *medical*. She'll be in it for 2-3 months, as far as I know. I'm sure it'll go by fast!! Teagan is also crawling. (At least the helmet will provide some protection as she bumps into walls and furniture.) Here are some pictures.

Lots of smiles

Teagan is at the best age right now. She is starting to explore things and is always smiling! Today we tried cereal for the first time, and she decided that she can already feed herself, or at least try. While Talon just sat back and let me feed him, not Teagan. She is rolling around everywhere....I found her in the kitchen the other day. She can sit up by herself until she realizes that she's sitting up and then down she goes. We still plan on getting her helmet, we just have to wait until she turns six months, which is in a couple weeks.

Talon is doing great. He had his tonsils out and he was a champ throughout the whole process. He has a higher voice now, which the doctor said he should of had the entire time. Sounds a little like Mickey Mouse and a little more innocent.

Here are some pictures of the kids.

Teagan's 4mo pictures

We had Teagan's four month pictures done today. They came out awesome. I was a little worried because timing is everything with a four month old. And today was no exception. But she did great, minus the few cries here and there.

Two weeks....

Two weeks is what it's going to take for me to find out if my baby girl will be needing a helmet for three months of her life and if my son will need his tonsils out.

Yes, Teagan has a flat spot. It was really bad, and thankfully is getting better. Hopefully well enough that the cranial specialist that we're going to on Thursday will just recommend some exercises and/or head placement changes we can do to avoid the helmet. So for those who really don't know much about the helmet, the baby has to wear it 23 hours a day for about three months. It's a lot more than cosmetics because if a baby has a bad flat spot the brain will grow in the opposite direction of the flat spot, which means the front of the head. This can misalign the entire face. At her appointment on Thursday, they will measure everything and let me know what they recommend. So watch for an update.

As for Talon, he has had recurring ear infections since December and his tonsils have been inflamed since then also. So they rate your tonsils from a 1-4, 1 being normal, 4 they are touching each other. Well Talon's this last appointment was between a 3.5 to a 4. He's starting to sound muffled when he talks and he can't hear everything you say. So, we go to his ENT appointment on the 18th. His doctor is pretty sure his tonsils have to come out. This is going to be a GREAT summer (hear the sarcasm?).

Other than that, everything is going good. Talon's out of school for the month, but starts summer school late June. Teagan is getting so big, it's just crazy how fast they grow in their first year. Well here is a comparison of Teagan and Talon at the age of two months.

Teagan pics

Hi all! Here are some more pictures of Teagan. She is getting so big and round. She is starting to smile alot and I can almost make her laugh. Everything is interesting to her now especially Talon. She follows him wherever he is at in the room. At her two month appointment she weighted 11.5 lbs.

Teagan

Ok, ok....so Teagan's a month old and I have yet to post anything about her on here. I really don't have much time to post anything now, but I will leave you with pictures. These are her one month pictures. Enjoy.
