First trip to the beach

We were so excited to spend some time with Grandma Joy and uncle Kevin this past week. The boys went to the beach for the very first time. They spent some time in their beach tent first and then we went for a walk before lunch. After lunch we took some pictures on the beach of the boys. It was a beautiful day. Nice breeze to help with the hot hot Florida weather. Thanks to uncle Kevin for pushing the stroller through all of the sand and also for playing photographer. You only got hit with one wave in the face during the photo session so I would say it was successful. :)
Mom got to help out with the feeding of the boys which at times is a very trying experience. Colston still cries a lot and doesn't ever want to eat. Miles will still eat anything! I got a set of scales for the house so I can know better how the boys are gaining weight at the 5 1/2 mark Colston weighed 17 pounds 8 ounces and Miles was at 17 pounds 4 ounces. Can you believe our little guy is only 4 ounces away from his brother? We go to the Dr this Friday for their 6 month checkup so I'll have more data then.
The newest developments over the past two weeks is that both of the boys have started sitting up all by themselves. At times when they are tired they appear to be weeble wobbles but overall they do very well. Colston has also started cutting teeth. We can see and feel two on the bottom. Miles is right behind him but none have broken through yet.
I have received a few emails that state it's very hard to tell the boys apart. So to help you get to know them in the picture on the beach of the two of them Miles is always on the left and Colston is on the right. In the stroller shots it's Colston on the left and Miles on the right.
