OK so mayber we need to work on the name now that we have the little man's initial to add. Heather has been after me to renew my acquantance with the BLOG so we are updating together this very cold evening. So without further ado.....
Issie: Christmas Presents: Barbie 2-wheel bicycle with helmet (It even has a Barbie bike attached to the handlebar), Dress up clothes from Auntie Kristin, Tag reading system, bunch of games and play food not to mention Barbie clothes. Her favorite toy is her "married Barbies" she got the wedding set of Barbie and Ken. Unfortunately she enjoys making Ken nekkid.
She went back to pre-school last week and is still enjoyinh that. We are thinking about changing schools for her next year as our new Church has pre-school and it is not only closer but she goes longer each day.
Zane: Chrsitmas/B-Day presents: TRAIN TABLE, 'Rocket' 2 wheel bike, Tag Junior, Legos, a football (full sized), dress up from Auntie Kristin, play food, games, books, and a patridge in a pear tree.
He just had his 2yr old check up and was 37 1/2 inches tall (99%) and 29lbs (60%) our doctor says he's the size of an average 3yr old (we grow some big boys). He is starting to show potty interest and will pee on occasion in the potty. He is also turning into our difficult bedtime child as he is beginning the manipulation that we have gotten mostly out of Issie. Oh well what can you do.
Jaxon: Christmas Presents: Bears gear, clothes, few little toys and fresh fruit feeder, books. He is doing pretty well on the tummy time and keeping his head up so we foresee an early crawler. His hair is out of control and I will be looking into getting it cut before too long. Steve calls him Elvis due to the hair. He had to go to the doctor because his ear infection didn't go away so we're onto round two of antibiotics. At the doc he was 15lbs 10oz. (Issie weighed that at 6mos) Steve measured him the other night at almost 27inches long which, if correct, means he grew 2inches in a month.
We started putting him in his crib to sleep finally. Unfortunately he's a stomach sleeper which sorta freaks us out so we check on him a lot. He isn't sleeping through the night but we're getting a few hours at a time now. Acid reflux is mostly under control unless Heather gets crazy on the spice or garlic.
That's about it for the kids. For those of you who haven't heard, we went ahead and turned in Steve's company truck and went onto the allowance so we have a little extra to put in the bank each month. We got a 2007 Jeep Commander in burgundy. Steve loves it and is taking his first out of town trip in it tomorrow.
Heather has been sick lately which has put a pretty big dent in her half marathon training. She's running the 500 Festival Mini marathon on May 8th with one of her friends so wish her luck and lots of encouragement. I still plan on doing the urbanathon with my brother in Chicago whenver the schedule comes out so hopefully we'll both lose our 20-25 pounds this year.
