A Little Update

Well I woke up to all the new snow this morning and thought it was beautiful but I was...sad. Oh March you little teasing month you, one day you are nice and warm and everyone is playing outside, the next day there is snow. We have had quite the winter and I am ready for spring. With our last doctor's visit Evan had gained weight but had another ear infection Christian was not breathing well and we almost were admitted to the hospital but they were able to get his oxygen levels back up. They think he may have the beginnings of asthma. And with how off and on sick the two of them have been the doctor told me he did not want me to take them anywhere- grocery store, church, playgroup,etc- until the end of MARCH. We are doing our best to follow the rule, but it's hard to keep a very social kid inside especially when he is feeling great. On a side not, I have to admit that the last month or so I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself about how my boys have been doing. But as I have been thinking about everything I find myself feeling grateful that, even though food allergy's and asthma are scary, I have things in my house that will help me help them if it comes to that. They do not have a sickness or condition which keeps us confined to a bed or hospital, that doesn't have a cure or medicine that has horrible side affects. I am grateful that in general they are healthy and growing. So I have told myself to stop being a mopey mope and I am trying to potty train Christian right now! I figured if we have to be stuck inside for a whole month we might as well. So far things are going... okay... he loves to run around naked- I have to coax him into a shirt and socks sometimes I am lucky if he will wear undies. Anyway, we are only about a week into it so I will keep you posted. Evan is trying to walk, he has been able to just take a few steps for a couple of weeks but he seems to be getting more and more courageous and I think he officially said his first word and of course it is "Dad." It's cute because he says Dad and then a little bit of "th"sound at the end. He is starting to sign a couple more signs and loves baby signing time. Well that's pretty much it right now, but I will try to post more often. I love it when others post a lot so I should to right?


Dan put Christian under his sweatshirt because Christian was cold because... he was running around naked. Dan took him into the bathroom and said look we are a monster and they starting roaring. So now every time he see's Dan in that sweatshirt he says "I want to play monster Dad!"


Christian in his shirt and socks, he discovered Dan's belts and thinks they are Handy Mandy tooldbelts and had to have one on the whole day


Evan practicing walking, round and round we go!
