A bit over due

I was thinking this week that it's been a long long time since I wrote an update.  We've definitely had an eventful month.   Just when I thought it would die down (since our home construction has been complete) it turns to chaos.   Who was I kidding...?!?!   Well we made an emergency trip to the pedi's office because I thought Evan sprained his arm, that just turned out to be a nurse maid's elbow, then Dave, E and I all came down with a terrible cold.   I got the cold again over my winter break.  Lovely.  I know.   We had called the pedi's office for E's cough because it had kept him up at night and we knew he needed sleep to get healthy again.  So they gave us some home remedies without us having to go in for a checkup.  Luckily.  The week I was back to work, E burned his hand on the iron.   Not just a small burn but one that covered a good portion of the top of his hand.   Yet again, we were at the pedi's office for a check up.  Now, a week and a half later it has healed quite nicely.   It healed a lot quicker than I thought.  Amazing how resilient little kids are.  Not even a week after us getting healthy, I got sick again.  Not just another cold but a sinus infection.   I am now on an antibiotic and I am patiently waiting for it to start working.  Supposedly it should start to alleviate the pain and pressure of my right sinus by this afternoon.  So far...nothing :(  E went for his second dentist appointment last Thursday.  He did cry but he did well.   No cavities.   We are brushing his teeth good.   He has all his teeth minus the last set of molars.   Hopefully when we go back in 6 months he won't cry and it will be an uneventful visit.

A little bit on E...he's weighing in now at 31 lbs.   He's a character.  He never sits still.  Even when he sleeps he is fidgeting around.   He still loves music, dancing, his milky, and running around like a crazy man.   His favorite toys right now are his basketball hoop, wooden train set, and guitar.   He can never get enough of Elmo and we probably hear his name about 50 times a day, at least.  He is now taking an Art and Music class at Bubbles Academy in addition to his weekly Gymboree class and open play times.   He has taken to it well.  I was a bit apprehensive signing him up for it because I know how much he prefers the physical activity of Gymboree and this art and music class would not have that.   Much to my surprise he loved it and followed directions of the teacher about 90% of the time.   The other 10% of the time he would walk, actually run, around the class checking out what the room has to offer.   He is very much a Curious George and not afraid to jump right into things.   He's also been really good at testing his limits lately and letting Dave and I know exactly what he wants and when he doesn't get what he wants he throws down and fake cries (even with real tears).  He's that good!  Little stinker!   Although he has his stinker ways (as I like to call it), he has good manners, loves people, and has learned to be a good sharer.    He is growing way to quick!   I wish I could freeze time!

Uh oh!

So I went into the bathroom one night, started the shower to warm the water, walked out and into our closet to put my clothes in the hamper, I come back into the bathroom where I was greeted by this smiling face!!!   He looks at me smiling and says "Uh-Oh!"   He's too cute!
