New achievements and a big test

Sam took a while, but he has finally caught up in crawling ability to his (slightly) older brother. He's not as quick as Lucas (who is getting much quicker everyday) but he gets there eventually. Normally they crawl around doing their own things, but they often come together and sometimes you hear them complaining because they're trying to sit on the same piece of ground. They have the whole floor to sit on and they end up  sitting on each other! They like to follow Mitch around too which is both a source of delight and frustration to him. He likes it when he wants them to follow him to his room and play, but he doesn't like it when he is playing his own game and they come and interrupt and try to play with "his" toys. We're trying to teach him to distract them with alternative toys, which usually works! They also like to watch him when he is in the bath. They can't pull themselves up to standing yet, so they sit on the floor of the bathroom reaching up to the edge of the bath and try to look in. It's very cute. I'll have to get a photo soon.

Here is a very quick video of Sam clapping and crawling (and me making a goose of myself).


In other news about the little boys, Meeks weighed them both the other day and they were both the same at 10.3kg. Little chunky boys!

In news about Mitch, he has a glucose tolerance test tomorrow at the hospital. Basically he can't eat or drink after midnight tonight (Sunday) and then he has to go to the hospital tomorrow morning for a 9:30am session where he will get a glucose drip put in and his blood sugar will be monitored for the next two hours to see how his pancreas is working. Obviously it is going to be very hard for the little guy to not eat for hours and have a needle in his hand and sit around not doing much for hours. Meeks is going to the hospital with him and I am staying at home with the twins. We're going to try and make it as fun as possible for him by taking DVDs and Meeks' Netbook so he can play games, but he is going to be sooooooo hungry. Poor little guy! Meeks is quite apprehensive about it all, as you can expect. His Blood Glucose Test readings this week have continued to be a bit high, but nothing too out of the ordinary, so who knows, maybe it isn't diabetes, tomorrow will tell us more but still may not be definitive.
