tubeless

 notice anything different?

Last week Jacob and Jeremiah had appointments at Primary Childrens. Jacob is doing amazing, and the Dr said we could be done with the feeding tube. He looks like a completely normal baby now. I still have to be really careful what and how much he eats, but it is so much better without the tube. We still have to see the Dr here a lot to make sure he keeps growing, but with any luck this will all be over soon.

Jacob has finally decided to sit on his own. For a long time when you would try to sit him up he would push back against you. I don't know what has changed, but he doesn't mind it now.

He figured out that if he hangs out underneath the high chair while Jeremiah is eating he can get all of the food falling off the tray. Luckily I have caught him before he has eaten any of it. Jeremiah's food would do bad things to little Jacob's system.

Jeremiah has been wearing a brace every night for the past year and a half because of his club foot. We thought he would have to wear it until he is 4, but his feet look great and the Dr said he only has to wear it another 6 months.

It has finally stopped raining long enough for Steve to get some work done on the house. We have a foundation, and he will be pouring the garage floor on Monday. Then on to the framing. I'm really excited because at that point you can actually tell there will be a house there.

bath day

 Why is it that stuff like this always happens right after you give the kid a bath?

Jeremiah was playing outside while Steve was working. He was naturally drawn to the mud puddle. His pants fell down (even with a belt I can't get his pants to stay up), then he fell into the puddle and got stuck.

cake

So it turns out I'm obsessed with wedding cakes. I have been making another fake cake the last few days while the boys have been asleep (it does happen on occasion). I really like this one.
Now all I need is for someone to get married. It would be so much fun to try to make a real wedding cake. Unfortunately all of the single people I know don't live anywhere near me.

It finally stopped raining/snowing long enough for Steve to get going on the addition. He will be pouring the footings tomorrow. I can't wait. It's kind of ridiculous how excited I am about concrete.

Jeremiah and Jacob are doing really well. All of a sudden Jeremiah has gotten a lot less moody. Is it possible the terrible two's could be over yet? Probably not, but I'll take what I can get. Jacob is growing and doing great. He should be done with the feeding tube in another 2 weeks. Naturally he has pulled it out 3 times in the last week. I can't wait to be done with it. He has gotten so good at getting away from me when I try to put it back in. You would think it wouldn't be too hard to overpower a 17 pound baby, but you'd be wrong.
