“Cora Was a Bad Girl Today”

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

This is what I heard when I picked the kids up today. You might be thinking….how can this be said about a little girl with such a sweet smile? Denise shared the story….both babies had a bad sleeping day, not too much sleep. So Will was sleeping in the vibrating chair and she finally gave up on trying to get Cora to sleep so she was crawling around the room….until she started heading for Will. She crawled right over to Will, pulled herself up onto the vibrating chair (she is actually pulling herself up on quite a bit), and strting hitting Will – which of course woke him up in a not so friendly way. So then both babies are crying and not too happy…but still really cute :).

Just Like Mommy, Evan Loves the Snow

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

photo1Evan, Amy, and I enjoyed a day outside shoveling, throwing snowballs, and walking on the snow. Evan loved every minute being outside and did not complain about being cold – even after being out for over an hour. He enjoyed the “snow seat” and igloo I made for him out of snow piles and snow drifts. Check out the photos with more pictures of Evan and the crazy snow we got in the last day here in Chicago.

Christmas – A Month Later

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

It has been a while since our last update….lots going on. So just a few notes. We spent Christmas in Florida with Jen’s parents and grandparents. I was pretty frustrated because I was in Florida and the temperature was only in the 50s, but it was nice to see family and I know that Gaga and Papa were very excited to see all the kids.

Evan had fun, constantly opening presents. Will enjoyed eating all the tissue paper he could get his hands on. Cora was excited just to play and scream (thankfully this screaming habit has passed). Jen was busy becoming an expert with the Fushigi ball. I got to take a few walks and even saw an armadillo.

The sun was shining bright some of the time and we went out to an awesome park nearby. Evan had so much fun on the seesaw and the giant sandbox – what could be better?

Of course there were a lot of golf cart rides as well with Papa. Thank you to Vickey and Phil for everything.

At the Doctors

8 Month Appointment

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Cora and Will had their 8 month appointment this morning. Here are the stats:

Cora

  • 16 pounds 7 ounces (18th percentile)
  • 27 inches (45th percentile)
  • head 45cm (85th percentile)

Will

  • 20 pounds 4 ounces (57 percentile)
  • 28.5 inches (72 percentile)
  • head 45.5cm (57 percentile)

The doctor also said they could have soft food, yogurt, soft cheese and
cherios. So they also had their first Cheerios today – they both had one but Cora seemed to want to play with them more than eat them. Probably the only thing she has not put in her mouth in the last few months. Crazy.

Yes or No?

Posted by: jzelazny | 1 Comment

In the last few months Evan has come up with a couple statements/comments that just make us laugh.

Two examples…
1. Evan likes to give options- Can I play on the computer? Yes or no? I love it, so he thinks I may not know what the possible options are that he needs to give them to me. Love it.

2. When most of us refer to something being the opposite of up-side-down as right-side-up. Well Evan is not to sure about that statement, so he says up-side-up. It bring a smile to my face every time.

One Tooth Spotted

Cora’s first tooth came through today – bottom right. She does not seem to be too bothered by it, but we will see.

Will is Moving Backwards

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

First he rolled but did not do it again for about three weeks, then Cora started crawling everywhere then finally Jen went into the living room and he had moved himself backwards. We are perfectly happy with Will’s development, but it is hard to not compare when there are two. So Will is still pretty content just sitting but if he does for some reason fall over or get knocked over he will attempt to move a little, if he is in the mood.

He is still eating like a champ though and loves to drive around in his car and of course he is an awesome sleeper. He gets that blanket, his baby Mickey (was once Evan’s – a gift from Aunt Kathy) and he is out.

More to come I am sure.

Cora is Crawling

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Cora has decided it is time to move and boy has she got it down. She is heading all over the house, thankfully not to quick yet. She started with just some downward dog movements and some rocking but she is definitely moving…even trying at times to pull herself up on stuff.

We have a feeling she will be walking before her first birthday in May. She enjoys exploring the dog/cat water dish in the kitchen, her brothers bedroom and she just crawled into the bathroom while I was bathing William. She is such a cutey – crawling around and then looking up at you with that huge smile :). Movie to come.
