Baby Herbs in San Diego

Last Friday we loaded up the boys and all their gear and headed to Oceanside. We rented a condo right on the Oceanside Harbor, which turned out to be less expensive and so much more comfortable than a hotel room. We had a wonderful day on Saturday at Kathy and Frank's. Auntie Maureen and Uncle Bill and Megan and River came down from Orange County, and Great-grandpa John came over from Carlsbad. The three babies got to meet for the first time. They're still a bit too small for any real interaction, but at least they looked at each other!

I worked the rest of the week, while Chris took the babies to meet other friends--Robbie, Shannen, Richard, my friends at Oceanside Public Library--and dropped them off at Grandma and Grandpa's for some much-deserved time to do his own thing.

It was a fun week, but we're also happy to be back home with the animals. Thanks Lise and Thomas for taking such good care of them!

Love, j&c, m&t

Baby Herbs 4-Month Check-up

We took them to the doctor on Monday for their 4-month check-up, and they're doing great! Matthew is now 15 lbs, 11 oz., and 26 1/2" long, and Thomas is 17 lbs, and 26 1/4" long. They are up in the 75-90th percentiles for their age. Matthew has very sensitive skin and was really itchy and upset. The doctor gave us a prescription for some hydrocortizone ointment, and it has helped so much, even just the first day using it. Poor little guy--he was so miserable! Now, he feels better and isn't crying all the time before bed anymore.

We're heading to San Diego this weekend, and we're looking forward to seeing family. We'll get to meet River for the first time, and it'll be fun to have all 3 boys together.

Here are some new pics.
