Hayden and Donovan went to the doctor today for their 9 month appointment. Hayden was 19 lbs 2 ozs (bottom 25th percentile) and Donovan was 20 lbs 3 ozs (top or bottom 50th percentile - your choice). Hayden was 28.5 inches tall (top or bottom 50th percentile) and Donovan was 27.75 inches tall (bottom 25th percentile)!
At one point during their visit, the nurses attacked the boys and stabbed each boy in the finger and drew blood. We can only determine that the nurses stole the boys' blood to determine what in their DNA kicks so much butt!
We have had a lot of fun developments with the boys over the last week. Hayden and Donovan both started clapping. Usually it is for no reason, but they seem to like to clap. We also lowered their cribs to the deepest setting to keep Tubby from jumping out. Hayden was sitting in his crib looking at me when I went in to check on them around 9:30 p.m. tonight. Not cool. Donovan is pretty content in his crib and is still a good sleeper. We also moved the boys out of their car seats and they are now using their convertible seats. We are selling the car seats if anyone wants them along with the double Snap n Go. $125.00 Firm.
Also, Hayden and Donovan would like to thank Grandma Sue and Grandpa Dan for letting them use the Trailblazer this week. We hope you did well enough in Vegas to find a ride home on Sunday!

Updates
Hayden is crawling, really crawling.
Donovan is pinching, really hard.
Kyle is sick, really sick.
Melissa is getting sick, hopefully not really sick.
The Grand Dad is visiting. He put up the gates to keep Mr. Hayden contained. He also bought Melissa a cheesecake from Simma's. It was really good. Thanks Grand Dad.

Pampers
We very much enjoy the always high-quality Pampers diapers. The Pampers Baby Dry and the Pampers Cruisers both tested very well and consistently performed to our demanding standards. Aside from normal diaper use, they also do an excellent job of wiping up spills, buffing, and serve as extra cushioning for that hard chair. We only had one tab break off of one of the diapers. Otherwise, they handled all of the diaper messes except for one side-explosion S5 by Donovan which no diaper could have stopped. Surprisingly, the onesie was not touched by said S5, but the pants were a different story. Otherwise, for a daytime or nighttime diaper, both Pampers Baby Dry and Pampers Cruisers were outstanding and we continue to recommend them when purchased with as many coupons as possible. The wipes were unremarkable, but much better than the Target brand wipes which you may as well just use your . . . .
Activity
The boy have been up to a lot lately! Donovan has started biting using his two lower teeth. Hayden is still a little gummie bear. But Hayden is crawling all over the family room with no discernable pattern to his crawling. He just manages to get from point A to points B-P but in no particular order. He also gets his legs caught underneath the couch and the television and then cries. The boys are also mowing down Cheerios and anything else we feed them. The boys watched back episodes of Lost this weekend as well as Knocked Up. They liked all of it.

Waterpark!
Some of you may question why young Hayden is going down a waterslide. Our collective response is, "Wait til you see what we do this summer on the tube behind the boat!" Call Child Protective Services now if you care about these boys!
Superbowl Pick
The boys have been really pissed off all morning for some reason. I can only assume it is because the Pack is not playing tonight in the big game. That said, here is their pick:
New England Cheaters 28, New York Giants 20.
New England Cheaters 28, New York Giants 20.

Failure to Post!
We sincerely apologize that the Boys have not updated their blog in a while. They have been busy traveling around the state and partying it up at a waterpark as of late! Also, their father has been a little busy smashing up their momma's van, and their momma has confiscated the camera.
We have some exciting news too! Donovan is cutting some teeth in his lower jaw! He has a nice razor across his bottom gum right now which is a little scary. In the meantime, Hayden is busy "almost" crawling. It looks like Donovan may have to wear a mouthguard, and Hayden will get the 25 lb. weight to drag behind him to put an end to these newfound bad habits that they are each developing.
We will post pictures soon once I get the camera back!

Congratulations to the New York Giants and Melissa
First, thank you to the Green Bay Packers for the unexpected and great season. Second, congratulations to the New York Giants, Tom Coughlin, and Lawrence Tynes. The New York Giants played the better game and they deserved to win. You could tell both teams were exhausted--especially from the cold--and the Pack Defense looked more worn down at the beginning of the fourth quarter. New York controlled possession most of the game, and that hurt really bad. The Packer offense looked slow and lack of a legitimate running game killed the Pack. Also, play calling was poor. The first two plays were good, but it went downhill real quick.
Donovan and Hayden went to bed at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Now I have to break it to them that the Pack lost tomorrow morning or if they wake up during the middle of the night, I'll do it then, but they may be too upset and they may not go back to bed.
The boys will post their Superbowl pick before the big game. Originally, they would have picked the Pack, but I think they will lean toward the Giants in a big upset over the New England Cheaters. New York's defense is extremely tough and they are playing really well right now--better than I thought they would play in this game. Eli Manning looks like the Good Rex Grossman so maybe Eli will come back to reality in the big game.
Now what about the Pack? They need to shore up their rushing game at the offensive line level. Additionally, the offensive line needs to be able to block for a screen play and they have looked feable at it this year. They also need depth at cornerback and defensive end. The D-line really had difficulty getting a push over the last two months, and Eli Manning had too much time to make a decision. Now the ultimate question: will Brett retire? He may, but he shouldn't. But the Pack needs to decide what it will do with A-Rodgers, and I would think re-signing him this off season would be a good idea as well as re-signing Bigby (both to a modest contract). Otherwise, trade Rodgers for a second or third and late round pick (but there is no better QB in the draft so maybe just keep him).
Craig, thanks for not calling with the harassing post-loss phone call, like you may have received when Atlanta kicked the game-winning field goal over the Queens in 1999.
Good luck to the Giants. Everyone has not given them a chance and everyone was wrong. Everyone will probably be wrong again.
Oh yeah, Melissa won the quiz. She got all of the questions correct, but she got a zero on the essay question. The correct answer would have been a 50 plus word diatribe on the Boys' inability to do housework and their uncanny ability to create S3s - S7s. Thanks to all who entered.
