Keep On Growing

I would like to first apologize for not updating in a few days. We are now in the Ronald McDonald House. We checked in on Monday, but Tuesday was our first night to stay there. We dropped in to check on the boys before we went to bed last night and they were doing fine. Jordan is 2 pounds 11 ounces and Jaxon is 3 pounds 8 ounces. Yes, I said that correctly. Jaxon Xavier Larry is 3 pounds and 8 ounces. He is really growing. I guess he heard about his brother putting on weight and decided to put some distance between the two of them.

The good thing about staying in the Medical Center is that we have the opportunity to see the boys all the time. During these last few weeks, Crichelle has come up with an observation about the boys' personalities. She believes that Jordan looks like me and acts like her and that Jaxon looks like her and acts like me.

Whenever nurses, or anyone else for that matter, are messing with Jordan he puts up a fit. He throws his arms and legs around all over the place. I was trying to hold his hands last night while Crichelle took his temperature and it was a tough job. He gripped my finger and starting moving my entire hand. He is also starting to let out a louder cry. Crichelle says that he has a temper and that she is responsible for that.

On the other hand, Jaxon is more mild mannered. When people mess with Jaxon you can see that he realizes it and that it bothers him, but he will sometimes just lay there as if he were saying, would you please hurry up so that I can get back to doing what I was doing. Crichelle says that is more indicative of me. Please continue to pray for both of the boys and again thanks to everyone for the thoughts, gifts and kind words. We have been very blessed during these times.
