15 Months

On Monday Aiden, Landon and Cooper had their 15 month check up. They got really high fevers from their shots and ended up staying home the rest of the week. Aiden ended up having an allergic reaction and broke out in hives from head to toe. It was a pretty scary situation. I gave him Ibuprofen on Thursday morning for his fever and within 10 minutes his face started to swell and his entire body was covered in hives. The pediatrician thinks that he is allergic to ibuprofen or the antibiotics that he was on. So I have to give this benadryl every six hours to keep the hives away. He also told us that over the next two weeks that the hives will come and go until whatever he is allergic to is out of his system. I feel so sorry for Aiden because he is SO miserable.


Our weights and heights at 15 months................

Aiden ---21 lbs. 1oz. (10 percentile) 31 inches (50 percentile)
Landon---21 lbs 12 oz. (10 percentile) 31 1/4 inches (75 percentile)
Cooper ---22 lbs. (25 percentile) 30 3/4 inches (75 percentile)


SO...from the looks of it our boys are going to be skinny and tall!!!!

At 15 months all three boys are right where the need to be. They are feeding themselves, running all over the place, babbling to each other and say at least 5+ words each. Not to mention they have developed their own words that they say to each other. One baby will say one of the words and the other two will crack up laughing. I have no idea what they are saying, but clearly they understand each other.

Beautiful Weekend and Lots of Fun

Aiden, Landon and Cooper spent the entire weekend playing outside and enjoying the nice weather. I am so excited that it is finally cooling off outside. My boys LOVE to be outside, but it has been so hot lately that they have not been able to go out as much as they are used to. They had a blast swimming, playing in the sand box, playing on the slide and swinging in their swings.

Here are some pictures of the boys participating in the Arts Alive program that comes to their school every other Friday.

(Poor little guy is teething which is causing him to drool really bad so he had to keep his bib on. As least he is wearing a cool bib though)

Sharing

Cooper is sharing his water with Aiden. This has become Aiden, Landon and Cooper's newest thing to do. They love to get their sippy cup and hold it while the other baby drinks it. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

NICU Reunion 2010

We took Aiden, Landon and Cooper to their very first NICU Reunion on Saturday. The Woman's Hospital holds a NICU Reunion every year for any baby that has spent time in their NICU. This year it was held at The Houston Children's Museum. They reserved the museum on Saturday afternoon and I could not believe how many people attended this event. I was even more amazed at how many families with multiples were there. We were surrounded by twin, triplet and quad families. Although there were families there with singletons there were by far way more multiples.

We were very excited to go to the reunion hoping that we would see some of the families that we meet as well as the nurses that took care of our boys while they were in the NICU. We did see Lauren who is one of the many wonderful nurses that took care of our babies. She recognized us immediately and even remembered the boys names. It was great to see her and to be able to thank her for taking such good care of our little boys while they were in the NICU. We also saw Tyler, Sophia and their families. Tyler and Sophia were in the NICU with Aiden, Landon and Cooper. It was great to catch up with these two families and see how much the kids have grown. This is for sure something that we will continue to take the boys to each year. I think that it is important for them to grow up knowing the wonderful nurses and doctors that took such good care of them while they lived in the NUCI for the first four weeks of their lives.
