OK so last time I was horrible at keeping up with this thing, but here it goes again and I promise I'll try harder!
First and foremost the kids are GREAT! They are both healthy, happy, and a handful! Chris and I are good too, busy but happy nonetheless. Were currently trying to juggle working, finishing up school and two kids under two! This is a task, let me tell you!Colin is two years old now! He is so smart and is really talking up a storm. He has numerous phone calls a day (to Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Dora and Uncle Hunter). He enjoys playing and squealing at the park across the street EVERYDAY that he can convince us he has to "show us something across the street". Mr. Manipulator is what we call him! He is taking swimming lessons everyday and is learning very quickly. It is a struggle dragging him across the street, and getting him into the water is a whole other story! But when he's done, he is happy and so very proud of himself! We have had a rough month health wise though. Two weeks ago he was rushed to the hospital (in an ambulance) for an asthma attack in the middle of the night. Needless to say it scared the crap out of Chris and I. He was OK though and sent home early the next morning with a case of Croup. Then the following week he was vomiting and running a fever of 103 every time the Motrin dose wore off. We took him to the doctor and he was tested for flu- negative! He was also tested for Strep- POSITIVE! A day later he broke out in a horrible rash all over his body, took him back to the doc and found out he had Scarlet Fever! He is now halfway through his course of Amoxiclillin. He is back to his old self now, thank god! Luckily, the baby, Chris and I did not catch anything from the little sick kid! Pierce is growing like a weed. He is now about 12 and half lbs and at his last checkup (2month checkup) he was 23 inches! That is 4 inches in 2 months! WHOA! (Colin had his 2 year checkup on the same day and weighed 34 lbs and was 33 inches tall) Pierce is smiling and cooing all the time now. He really makes all three of us melt, and we act like total goofballs to get more out of him! Colin is such a sweet and loving big brother, Chris and I are amazed by the kindness he shows his little brother. He is not jealous and always wants to help, even change poopy diapers! Speaking of poopy diapers, we are just starting potty training and its not going as well as I hoped. I might take a break from it and give him some time before trying again (doctor's advice on it)
So hopefully this catches everyone up a bit! I'm posting new photos of the boys, our recent trip to Disney for Colin's 2nd birthday and of course some Pierce pictures since all we have on here is a 3D sonogram!Much love to everyone!
Kendall, Chris, Colin and Pierce :)
