I can remember vividly those emotional 31 days the twins were in the NICU - watching them grow slowly, learning how to "suck, swallow, breathe", and moving off a ventilator, to the C Pap, and eventually graduating to the nasal cannula. I remember like it was yesterday holding Tyler and one of his wonderfully, amazing NICU Nurses telling me "by 2 years old, they'll be all caught up... you'll see". I couldn't even think that far ahead, but always held that in the back of my mind. Boy was she right! The boys had their 2 year well baby check on Monday. Tyler is 30lbs (76%) and is in the 95 percintile for height! Jackson is our bruiser and is at a whoping 31.6 lbs (84%) and 84 percintile for heighth. It's so had for me to belive they were once only 4lbs.... I truly feel like we've graduated to the toddler stage and they'll kepp marching on.

The boys and I also went to their Great Grandparents' home on Sunday to celebrate my Grandma's birthday. They really had a great time with all their cousins (my father is one of thirteen... so LOTS of cousins!). My Dad took us for a tractor ride through the cows and Tyler got to "drive". He couldn't have been happier! The continued to say the rest of the day "I Farmer"! Soooooo cute!!! In addition to the tractor ride, both boys also got to ride a horse. Needless to say, they had a wonderful time!
