Brock and Zac update – 7 Oct 08

Howdy all

Again, long time no update, but I seem to be a bit busy these days and it’s not that easy to get on the puter for extended periods anymore.

We had our 8 month check up on Tuesday and the boys current weights etc are Brock 6.7kg (14lb 13 oz), length 68cm and head circumference 45cm.  Zac is 6.5kg, length 66.3cm and head circumference 45.8cm.  They are doing very well.  We are now into 00 for there body suits (but these are always smaller sizes) but still 000 for there normal clothes. 

Dale’s mum came to visit for a couple of weeks and we think we heard Zac say da-da-da.  He has said the same thing a few more times but we are still not 100% sure that that is what he is saying.  Both boys are starting to string syllables together and making more noises than just squealing which is great. 

It seems that we have also managed to drop the dream feed.  The boys are now going to bed about 8pm and sleeping through til about 6ish which is great. Brock seems to have developed a bit of a wind problem again so I am still getting up a few times a night to manage that but we seem to be getting there. 

After seeing the CHN on Tuesday we have also changed the sequence with feeding.  The boys now get solids before the bottle for lunch and dinner.  They both seem to love food, although Brock more so. 

We’ve also got the boys in there car seats and facing forwards.  They seem to really like it and look out the windows as we are driving along.  It does make the loading and unloading of the car process take a bit longer but it feels good to have them sitting up like that. 

Not much else happening but Dale will update you on the house.   

Hope you all enjoy the photos.
