6 Month Photos

Although most people have probably already seen these photos on Facebook, I know we have friends and family that are not on Facebook, but would appreciate the latest pictures of the boys.  These pictures were taken on their actual 6 month birthday, by our photographer and friend, Amanda Alek.  We couldn't be happier with how they turned out!  

Nolan

 Are we really going to Disneyland?

 Listen, do you want to know a secret?

NO WAY!

Cole

 Man, what a long day....

For anyone in the Northwest Ohio area looking for a photographer, we would highly recommend Amanda!

Hi brother.  Wake up!

Nolan

Cole

What is this contraption they have us in now?

Hey!

The only pose where they were both looking at the camera at the same time.

Cole talking and smiling with mommy.

2 month photos...

It's amazing how fast time has flown by, and how daily the boys are changing.  Stef and I decided to do an impromptu photo shoot in our living room to try and capture the moment.

The brothers.

Nolan's Pooh-bear is our stand-in for light testing.

Only the coolest Muppets around!

Grandma  and Granpa Fujii visiting with the boys.

Our little family. Cole's nickname is beaker, and Nolan looks a little like a honeydew melon...

Nolan nestling his head on mom's shoulder.

Getting settled in...

Let's get out of here!

Watching TV on the living room sofa.  Monitor leads for breathing since they are technically still 4.5 weeks preterm.

Taking a nap together on the Ikea chair upstairs.  Dad's "contraption" that he uses to feed and burp both babies at the same time.

First bath at home!  Auntie Mary's cozy hooded towels.

 

 

Tuckered out after bathtime and a big feed.  Sweet dreams.

Our boys!  Both Cole and Nolan are over 5 lbs now, and are taking about half their feedings orally without the NG tubes.  (They had to have the NG tubes placed back in the other day).  Putting on weight and doing well.

Bathtime and other pictures

Nolan getting ready for bathtime.  "I don't like the feel of this..."

Nolan is not a fan of bathtime... or diaper changing time, or being messed with in any manner.  He's quite vocal.

Cole looking good after the swelling has come down.  He is such a sweet little guy.  Very little complaining, and loves to look into your eyes. 

"Dad.  Stop taking pictures of me."
