30

This week I turned thirty. Half of my life I have shared with Patrick. We both feel so lucky to have our two boys. They are definitely the bright spots in our lives, and help us realize how lucky we really are.

The past few weeks Logan has really grown up. He is pulling up on everything, cruising along whatever he can hold, and is eating big boy food like Tony! It looks like he is going to be every bit the eater that Tony is...the other day he was eating mushrooms and olives. He goes after everything on our plates. When I try to give him the baby food jars, he just pushes it away. Hello, mommy...I am a big boy, and I don't eat baby food...

The pictures are from my birthday. I am definitely blessed.

Kicking some flu butt!

It was Wednesday when I took these guys into the doctor's office, and they confirmed that Tony and Logan both had the flu. It was a pretty sad day. Tony kept throwing up, and had a really high fever. Logan has a double ear infection, again. While the flu test was negative for Logan, the doctor seemed pretty certain that he had it also. Evidently 30% of their tests have false negatives. Considering that they share everything, including germs, the doctor was confident that they both had it. That was Wednesday, and today is Friday. The pictures above are from today. They were both having a blast playing outside and swinging. Tony looks terrific, and Logan is doing better also. Logan isn't able to take any of the medicine that they gave Tony, since he is under 12 months, but he seems to be doing better every day. Aren't they the cutest boys you've ever seen???

Tony

Tony is the only kid I know that loves to rinse his hair during bath time. He will continuously pour the cup over his head while laughing. Hilarious...

Logan

Logan is finally starting to feel better. He had a fever most of the week, but by Friday he finally was starting to smile again. Thank goodness!

This is a picture of Logan and Uncle Mark. Mark is Patrick's best friend and roommate from college. He was in Houston on an interview, and made a trip to SA to see us. Both of the boys absolutely love him. It was great to spend a little time with him. Hopefully he wasn't bored to tears with our 'oh so exciting' lives!!!

Ear Infection

Logan started running a fever Monday morning, so I decided to take him into the doctor. With all of his heart problems, it is better safe than sorry...

He has a really bad ear infection in one, and he said that the other was about three days behind. The doctor let me look through the scope, and it was scarlet red.

His fever just kept going up, so I stayed home on Tuesday with him. Even after four doses of antibiotic, he still has a fever. Like clockwork, every four hours he alternates between Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Today is Wednesday, and he is still having fever and is very clingy. My poor little LoLo...

This picture just about says it all. You can see it in his eyes...

Meeting more family

Unfortunately we still don't have a new camera yet, so no new pictures...

Tony and Logan both met their great Aunt Jane this weekend. She lives in Kansas City, and made a special trip to Texas to meet our new additions to the family. It was a short visit, but by the end Logan had definitely warmed up to her and they got some quality time together.

The boys are doing great. Tony is warming up to the idea of using the potty at home. Logan is finding creative ways to move around.

Two more weeks, and we will be into our new house. We are really excited, and definitely ready to put some roots down.

PICTURES COMING SOON!

Our camera has officially died, but we are going to go get a new one this weekend!

The biggest news is that Tony took his first poo poo in the potty about a week ago. It was very exciting. I never thought that I would be so excited about poop, but I am! I was so proud that I called Miss Candy, the wonderful lady that takes care of him and Logan, to tell her the good news. For some reason Tony has a strong adversion to going potty at home, and only going at Miss Candy's house. So the potty adventure continues...
