Christmas in Cincinnati

The boys had an enjoyable Christmas this year and they had fun visiting with all the Konrad relatives. They met a couple of their cousins and got lots of gifts. Caleb learned to roll over in a hotel in Knoxville and Caden has become a talker of talkers. Here are a few pictures from their time in Cincinnati. On Thursday they make their first trip to California to see all of the Souza family and they can't wait!

Caden Rolls over...

Caden Rolled over several times today and we caught a couple of them on video. Here's the best one we caught.

Having fun talking!

The Boys did great on our trip

and they enjoyed hanging out with Gram and Papaw!

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday to Pops!!!!

The boys are enjoying their first Thanksgiving in Maggie Valley, North Carolina with Gram and Papaw. They had turkey flavored formula for dinner last night and they've been sleeping pretty well at the cabin we are staying in.

They do with however that they could be spending Pops' birthday with him. Since they can't be there, they decided to send him a picture he might enjoy. So Happy Birthday Pops!!!!

And thanks to Uncle Marc for the awesome outfits they are wearing....they are definitely proud to wear them!

They are also wearing their first Christmas gear that they got from Nana and Pops (Thanks Nana and Pops!!!)

Early Christmas with.....

Nana and Pops. Nana and Pops left to go back to California for the holidays and the boys were spoiled with all kinds of fun stuff. They got plenty of clothes and toys from them and they had a blast opening them. They sure do miss their Nana and Pops though!!!!

We also included a picture with the outfits Desiree sent the boys - they sure are comfortable! Thanks Desiree!

This was an especially fun day to open presents because Ohio State beat Michigan for the 6th straight time (Look at the boys onsies to see how they feel about Michigan)! Oh and I think Pops had to wear that Santa hat since OSU took down Cal in basketball......or maybe he just realized what team he should root for now.

Daddy of the year???

Daddy rocked both boys to sleep tonight, giving Mama a break! He
really enjoys holding both of his little guys at the same time.

New weights

Caden is now 14lbs 7oz
Caleb is now 12lbs 10oz

The boys have a little cold.

They have had it for about a week and we are taking them to the doc
today to try and get them better.

Just a walk in the park

Hangin with my homie

Sleepy heads

A new record has been set. These cute little guys made it nearly 9
hours between feedings.

Happy Halloween

The boys enjoyed their first Halloween in style, by dressing up like a monkey (Caden) and a lobster (Caleb). While not in costume, they were dressed as skeletons for the day (Thanks Jude and Jen!). Mom and Dad dressed up for a couple pictures and it was a little too warm to keep them in character, but they played their parts pretty well. They even had a visit from a large pumpkin (Benjamin). Gram and Papaw are here for the week and they are loving the visit. As always, when Gram is around we get plenty of good pictures. Enjoy!

A lobster and a monkey

sleep is good

The boys are now 10 weeks old and it's flying by! They were able to have a 7 hour stretch between feedings 2 nights ago and last night they made a 6 hour stretch (before that 5 hours was the most and didn't happen very often). They did really well on their flight to Cincinnati, so we feel better about the flight to California in December. We still have not had to buy diapers yet! (thanks to everyone for all the diaper gifts.)

A couple of pumpkins

First flight!

The boys are on the plane and ready to take off on their first
flight. Danielle and Caleb boarding.

Here's a picture of Caden smiling!

Smiles

It really seems like the boys are starting to smile at us (instead of
just when they are rippin one). This is a fun development. They have
also been sleeping around 4 hours at night consistently now, which is
completely amazing. 1 extra hour makes a huge difference!

Hospital visit

Poor Caleb has an iv at the hospital last weekend, but he sure looks
cute in his hospital gown.

2 little big guys

So the boys are growing big. Caden now weighs over 11lbs and Caleb
weighs over 9 lbs. We had our first emergency room visit last
weekend, because they both had a fever. Not a fun experience, but
they are doing much better now. I guess they have to be really
careful with them before they have their vaccines - which they get on
Tuesday. This coming week, they get to go on their first flight, so
we'll see how that goes.

The boys slept for 5 hours last night! They have their two month doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks and then we'll be heading to Cincinnati for the weekend. Here are some recent pictures of them.

First vacation/wedding

Congrats to Chris and Jen on the wedding! It was awesome!
The boys got to experience their first wedding, beach, and roadtrip on
our trip to Clearwater. They also got to visit with Papaw and Gram.
They did really well and enjoyed meeting more of the family.

SuperMom

I think this wins the Mom of the Year award!
