Kite Flying

We had a nice sunny and windy Sunday. I had bought the kids each a kite after Easter so we went to the park to fly them. A few tangles in the trees, of course, but they had fun watching how high they could go.

Muddy Buddy

We went to the park today and there were puddles. I told Luke to go play in them and he had a blast. He was cold when he got home but he said that he had fun in his puddles with his boots on!

Caleb 9 months

He keeps growing! Time is going to fast. Caleb is still not mobile but he makes up for that in his loud voice.  He gets to have crawling practice with Ryan most afternoons when Ryan gets home from school. Caleb does not like laying on his stomach...he hates it. He gets mad but Ryan makes him reach for his toys. Caleb is beginning to interact and notice who is around him. He  gets so excited when he wakes up and greets the kids with flapping his arms, smiling, and babbling. He babbles mamma, and dadaa. Maci thinks he says hi to her in the morning. Now that it's warmer we go out and see Levi get on and off the bus. Caleb can wave bye bye and can do so big. He likes remotes and his exersaucer. He eats all meals with us..really does not care for baby food any more he would rather have what we are eating. He is such a happy boy. The other day we were able to go to the park for the first time and ride the swings. He loved it! Caleb finally got his first upper tooth.

Tired out of crawling.

Waiting for Levi to get off the bus, with his snack.

Looking like more red hair shinning through!

Doing puzzles

Looks serious, Looks like Maci here I think.

Working with Daddy

A couple of Saturdays ago, Levi and Maci helped Ryan replace the old wood from our garden. Hopefully soon we can start figuring out what to plant and see what we can make grow.

Sibling Love

A few weeks ago Levi told me before he went to bed that he wanted to do something nice for his only sister, Maci. He told me that he wanted to go to Meijers and buy her some flowers and a stuffed animal. He waited all week and on Saturday we went and he picked up a purple plant just for her and used his own money to buy this for her. Maci was so surprised and gave him a big hug. The still want to sleep together in the same bed, we had to limit that to just weekends. The other weekend, I went to check on them and they were whispering stories to each other and Levi was scratching Maci's back. I know this won't last forever so I am going to try to remember the bond they have right now.

Caleb 8 months

Love "reading" the newspaper on Sundays



Would not sleep, up late with daddy on computer.

 

 

 

 

Luke loved helping clean up..throw up with his machine.."I help mommy, I like working it"
we did not get out much this month..:)

 

 

 

Caleb spent most of his eighth month being sick or trying to get over being sick. He made a trip to urgent care and ER on one weekend this month and he had an ear infection, wheezing and would not eat or drink.I also brough him to Dr. Salhadar to have him check him out. I was so worried about him. He was really sick. He only had a small pee diaper in
 12 hours and keep throwing up. He got started on antibiotics, steriods, neubulizer treatments every four hours and tylenol to help with the pain and fever. It took him a good four days to start perking up. The following weekend he started throwing up in his bed on early Sunday morning and had diaherra and throw up for about 2 days. Poor Caleb! He could not catch a break this month. He has lost some weight. He has learned how to drink better out of his sippy cup..probably because we kept trying to give him juice or water out of it.

Lots of snuggles by mom..fussy when sick.
