Harvick & Jarrett . 51 Weeks

51 weeks old
22 pounds, 2 ounces (Harvick)
22 pounds, 11 ounces (Jarrett)

(Compare to Ryder at 51 Weeks)

Harvick has evened the tooth count score, and now both he and Jarrett are at 4 teeth (2 top, 2 bottom) each.  Ryder took a long time to get all of his teeth, and I think his brothers are following in his footsteps.

Harvick had Physical Therapy this week, and has been deemed as "graduated"!  He still has some minor work to do, in regards to standing using his left leg (he can, but he doesn't do it, unless he is prompted - he relies on his right leg).  However, the minimal work can be accomplished with us at home.  We really liked working with the Physical Therapist (the same one for Torticollis previously), but are happy to end those appointments!

Both Harvick and Jarrett are constantly pulling up, and walking along things (couch/ottoman/chair/etc), but neither attempt to walk independently.  They are both great standers, but still prefer to hold on to something, rather than stand unassisted.

As far as the babies being sick, they are both on the mend.  Their doctor prescribed Jarrett a new antibiotic, after the throwing up issue, on Monday.  It is the same one he got back in March, and his little body is reacting much better to this one!  Harvick still doesn't seem to be improving as much, so after calling their doctor today, he was prescribed a different (more fast acting) antibiotic - he took the first dose tonight, so hopefully he sees some improvement quickly.  Both boys ended up getting infections in each eye (we aren't totally convinced it was actually "Pink Eye", it was definitely an infection, but "Pink Eye" might be far reaching).  Thankfully, the drops, although they both hated them, worked well, and we have been able to discontinue the use of them.

Boys bathing together!

Notice both of their tongues sticking out in the center picture!  Twins?!

I am still nursing Harvick and Jarrett before they go to sleep.  I think it's super cute when they fall asleep after nursing, with their hands intertwined!

Even though the boys weren't feeling well, we took them outside for a little fresh air and sunshine on Sunday.

Harvick didn't want to be held while he drank his milk, and luckily for him Ryder was more than happy to help keep his bottle "up!" while he drank.

More proof of the kisses!

Bath time!
