5 Month Pictures

Silas and Zoe turned 5 months today, so it was picture day! We decided we will probably get some professional pictures done next month, so you won't have to deal with our amateur photo shoot next time :)

The babies were particularly angelic when we were getting ready this morning,



Daddy provided some good entertainment while Mommy finalized the outfits.

As usual with two babies, everything is quite a production!


Zoe's outfit was less complicated than Silas' (damn overalls), so we had some downtime to hang out.


S&Z needed lots of re-positioning now that they are moving so much!

First they slid far down on their butts,


Zoe fairly quickly said "I'm outta here",


But Silas convinced her to come back for a few more pictures - they are good pals, you know ;)


Zoe wasn't completely convinced it was a good idea.


She was more interested in playing with her dress (well, it IS a pretty dress!),


And Daddy is infinitely more interesting to look at than the camera.


More rearrangements were required,




And some hijinx ensured...



Here is our favorite "5 month picture" that will go in their baby books! I think you can see just a glimpse of their emerging personalities...

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2
