Lately, Alex has been wanting us to feed him and burp him. He usually wants us to feed him with his sippy cup, but this time he took the bottle. Crazy kid.

The group of kids is some of Lulu's great grandkids. This was at a birthday party. These were the best 2. Of course, there's not one where they're all looking and smiling.




This was taken a couple of days ago and I love it!

Updates....The Haps

Life has been crazy. Patrick and I are both taking college classes. We're only home together Monday and Friday and the weekends.

Alex and Ross are good. Recently, Ross has been sleeping through the night. However, today we were up since 4:45. He went to sleep around 5:15, but when one has to wake up at 6am there's no point in trying to go back to bed for 45 minutes.

The other night, Patrick and Alex made a tent in the house. Alex has been obsessed with it since then. This morning I noticed Alex's door was open. I saw his sheets and pillows on the floor and thought he was on the floor, but Alex was balled up in the corner of his bed and the wall. Oreo was all over his sheets on the floor.

No matter how much Alex tortures Oreo, that dog loves that kid. Oreo will stand outside of Alex's room and scratch on the door. Alex hits, squeezes, pulls, on Oreo and he still loves him.

Ear infection #4

Yep, #4 at 4.5 months old. Poor Ross. Thankfully his only symptom is excessive poop and a really red butt. No fever, no fussiness. But I hate that he's on antibiotics again.

And he has eczema. I suspect the rice cereal started the eczema.

Never a dull moment.

On a side note, I took both the boys with me to Target so I could fill Ross's prescriptions. Alex was outstanding. I couldn't believe it. Maybe this is a turning point.

While I'm talking about Alex, I fully believe we've started the "why?" phase.

He's so smart

"Alex, can daddy have some of your snowball?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"Because daddy, your chocolate snowball is coming."
