The twins had a pretty great Christmas! They had so many hands to hold them and coddle them. They were showered with diapers and other baby essentials. Sleep was a little off, but that was because mommy & daddy were a little off schedule. But it was so nice to have everyone here instead of traveling. It would have been way too stressful this year, and none of us would have gotten any sleep. We were so fortunate that relatives were able to come to us.
Here are a couple of pics from the days of entertaining.

This is the last post in the twins' blog. From now on, we will have a family blog, where we will share pics and highlights about all 5 of us. You can visit our new blog here starting after the first of January: Team Kranz
Merry Christmas and have a happy, healthy new year!!

2 Month Check In
Cameron is doing so much better since his tooth was pulled! He's been sleeping in 4 hours stretches & seems much more rested & happier. His tongue is healing so nicely.
Jameson is great, too. Last night, he slept for 8 hours straight- from 9 until 5!
I wanted to get some photos of them in their Christmas robes from Grandma KK.
Jamie has good head control right now.
We say this photoshoot is over, lady!

Cameron had his tooth pulled today. I was nervous & a little scared. But Cameron wasn't. As soon as the dentist put on the topical anaesthetic, he calmed down & even smiled. That thing must have really hurt him, and he was finally getting some relief. The dentist pulled back Cam's tongue & it was really eroding. Little chunks of his precious tongue were missing!
Anyway, Cam didn't even cry when it was pulled. It bled for a few minutes, but quickly stopped. He's really zonked out since we got home, probably from the stress. I'm so glad we pulled it. Oh, and the one right next to it is indeed coming in. It hasn't broken through yet. We're hoping that the next one won't be such an issue.
We got to keep the little tooth!
The dentist said that it probably wouldn't have survived anyway, as the root was all gelatinous, which isn't normal.

Christmas Party, Personalities, and Teeth
We went to the Mothers of Multiples Christmas Party on Saturday. It was a lot of fun, although it is always super exhausting going anywhere with the whole crew in tote. Corbin was able to enjoy the party more, but the twins were able to participate somewhat also (even if they slept through the whole thing!)
Santa came to visit

Santa got something for Cameron! It was a box of Baby MumMums
Jamie got some cool pacifiers
And this is what Jamie's outfit looked like (Cameron was wearing a Carter's sleeper with reindeer on it)
Their personalities are coming through more. Cameron is a little less patient than Jameson. He is not colicky, thank goodness. Whenever he has a need, it is easily met & he calms down. But when he has a need, he definitely makes his needs known, and LOUDLY! lol
Jameson is a very easy baby. He sleeps for 6 hour bouts every night. He goes down for naps easily, he eats well... he's just easy! He's going to be our laid back little guy.
At their appointment last week, here were their stats.
Cameron: 15" head (25-50%), 8 # 4 oz, 20 1/2 inches long, 5-10% for weight, 3% for height.
Jameson: 15 1/4" head (35%), 10 # 3 oz (35%), 21" long (35%)
But at their appointment, Dr. Black looked at their mouths closely because of Cameron's tooth. She found a bony protrusion at the bottom of their gum, when you pull back their bottom lips. Also, Cameron has an ulcer on the bottom of his tongue from rubbing it against his tooth. She referred us back to the dentist.
We saw the pediatric dentist, Dr. Loochtan, on Tuesday. Unfortunately, he had never seen that protrusion thing in his 20 years of experience. He is going to consult his fellow pediatric dentist friends and get back with me. He believes that it is just a variation of normal, but wants to make sure. Also, Cameron's tongue is being treated by breaking open a vitamin E capsule & rubbing it on the sore. If it isn't healing in a week, he may have to have the tooth removed.
