Me and my Nate

Today I did the weirdest thing...I packed up the car and the diaper bag for ONE baby! Nathan had an appointment at the Stollery in Edmonton at the head shape clinic. GAK and GG-ma Braham came to stay and play with Matthew and Lucas and off went Nate and I (and Grandpa...he came with us so that we would not have to park and then get out and find where to go...it was nice to have company on the drive too!)

Here is the backseat with ONE carseat...so weird that I had to take a picture!Our appointment was at 10:30, so we were there at about 10:10 (I am pretty sure I have mentioned how I feel about being late). Well we waited and waited and waited...we did not see the doctor until 11:40ish...grrrr. We did take a couple of pics while we were waiting though!
Just hanging out on the table and waiting!

So after waiting as long as we did the Doctor came in (she was wonderful), felt his head and said that she would not be concerned about it at all...and home we went (with a quick burger stop at harveys first of course!)

Thanks again SOOO much to Gramma and Aunty Karen for staying with the other two boys and to Dad for changing your plans to come with us!

Immunizations Round 2!

So today the boys had their 4 month immunizations...a little late I know but Christmas eve did not seem like the best time! Luckily my dad was home to come with us to help move carseats and calm boys!

Here is Grandpa sitting in the waiting room with the three boysLuc made himself go crosseyed to look at one of his toys
Matthew was amazed by his toys

and Nathan was amazed by the camera!

Here is our wonderful health nurse Sue with Nate, and Grandpa with Luc and Matt...this is before the shots...there is no pictures of the during or afters because the boys (and mom and g-pa) we all fairly distraught. Matthew cried so hard that Lucas got scared and had to leave the room :( poor little guys. At least now we are done until their 6 month shots!

14 more sleeps until Christmas!

Here are the boys doing their morning tummy time! (after the first time we got them dressed this morning)Little Luc

Nate the great

Matty bear (trying to fly again!)

The boys had their 4 month check-up today! (they do not actually have their 4 month birthday until Christmas eve but we had to get in there before the holidays!) Although they are naked in these pictures, they were changed again before their appointment...we were having pant issues with their other suits!

Aunty K and Matthew. Matthew is now in the 75th percentile when he is age corrected! (up from 50th at his 6 week check-up)

Grammy and Nathan. He is now in the 50th percentile (up from the 25th!).

Me and my Lucas...now in the 25th percentile, up from the 10th!

After the Dr appointment we completed today's task...Eastview's Christmas lunch...once again they all had to be changed before we made this trip!

here is Monique snuggling with Nate!

Averill and Matty

The ladies checking out the boys!

Aunty K with Luc (he just woke up and was pretty cranky!) and Sherri with Matty!

Catherine with one of the boys!

We found the perfect set-up for one person to feed two and entertain one...just in time since Grammy has to go back to work in January!

Changed again into something a little more comfy after the lunch...I had to change this time too!!!

In their pjs (another change) ready for bed!

Nate and Matt cuddling under their fuzzy blanket!

So if anyone was keeping track that was 5 changes times 3 babies plus one Mom change, one Aunty change and one Grammy change resulting in 18 total changes!!! Hopefully we can cut down on this tomorrow!
