Doctors and Bikes!

It's been a busy week here in Utah. This week started with the boys going to their 2 year check up, now that they are offically two years old. Dr. Zarbock said that they look GREAT! He can't believe that they started so little. So many things can have lasting effects and the boys look healthy and normal. We had to go see him in our cool "2" shirts, just to let everyone know that we're big boys now. He also said that after two years we don't adjust for age any more. So no more "they're 24 months but act like 22 months". They are just 2!!

In the morning before we went to our check up, Grant and I went to another check up. It's been a little more than a month since he got his ear tubes. So we were off to Primary Children's Hospital to have his hearing tested and his ears checked by his ENT. He did GREAT there also and got a clean/clear bill of health. His hearing is perfect now and his tubes look good.

So everyone who doesn't have twins tells me how lucky I am that I have twins. "Then they can play together". Well, up until now this has NOT been the case. They would fight A LOT but not play. So the time has finally come. They have started to play together. It started a few days ago when they started throwing a ball back and forth.

It was funny to watch because neither one can catch the ball. But still, they kept eachother interested in the game.

Then to my shock and amazement, they did it again this morning. They started pushing their Mickey Mouse car back and forth to eachother. This didn't last as long (so I only got one picture) but it was still fun to see them playing. I guess this is the pay off of all the fighting and double duty I have done so far. But please, don't ever tell a mom with newborn or little twins that she's lucky because they must play together.

Here are the long awaited tricycle pictures. (Reed)

At first he was trying to use the peddles but changed to pushing with his feet.

Grant is a lot better at it. He can "kick" into some sort of motion. He does especially well if I have given him a little push.

But after a few minutes he always starts pushing with his feet.

They still haven't gotten the whole "steering" thing down, so they usually go in a circle.

Then they both usually end up off the bike pushing it around the driveway. But whatever keeps them busy, happy, and burning energy is fine with me. (Thanks again Grandpa and Grangie)
