a fairly uneventful week....finally!!



So, I believe that we have finally come to the end of our sickness!! YAY!!! Our week was fairly uneventful, but maybe it is better that way?!? Reese, Rowan and I were able to make it to our last of Nic's 9th grade basketball games on Monday. It was nice to be able to take them out of the house again and be around other people. As always, they enjoyed it very much! :)
Rowan is oh, so close to taking those first steps away from whatever object she might be holding on to and Reese is now on the move as well. Both of them can make it, on all fours, from one end of the house to the other before I even know they are missing! They both very much love the chase. :)
They have also decided this week that they would rather feed themselves than be fed...this is quite difficult considering they eat liquified veggies and fruit, and mommy doesn't think that they should be living off of puffs, crackers, and cheerios. So.....we are experimenting with new foods, which has turned out to be quite entertaining. I have decided that they too love daddy's cooking!! :)

sickness, teeth and no sleep....OH MY!




So, I think we have made it through our bout with RSV....FINALLY!! It started with Rowan about two weeks ago, and eventually made it's way to Reese. SO....with breathing treatments four times a day, then antibiotics for ear infections, we soon discovered that Rowan, while over her RSV, was getting FOUR new teeth!! Needless to say it has been a sleepless last few weeks!! While this has been stressful, the new things they do each day are so exciting to see and make the stressful times VERY worthwhile. Reese is working on getting a grasp on everything in her reach and pulling herself up, and Rowan pulls herself up to all things reachable and is on the verge of letting go and taking off!! Thanks goodness we will go mobile one at a time! :)
