Spring '09 Pictures
16 Months Today!
It is so hard to believe that they will be a 1 1/2 soon. Where does the time go? They gave up their morning bottle a couple of weeks ago. They only take a bottle before bed now. I know, I know we are taking are time. We will eliminate the last bottle soon and I promise they won't be carrying around a bottle when they go to kindergarten! :)
Marc will be gone this next week for work. Who knows, maybe we will eliminate it then. Marc doesn't like to make the boys sad, so this would keep him from that. Fortunately my mom is coming for part of the week and Marc's mom and step dad will be here for the remainder! Weeks without daddy are tough!
Ethan's 7th tooth (the bottom one to the right of his two front teeth) broke through on Tuesday! Currently Aaron has 6. He just recently got the sixth. They have been getting them at the same time, but Ethan's have been a bit quicker except for the first two. Their one year molars are working on coming in too. They haven't broken through their gums yet though.
A week ago Monday we had to make a trip to the peds office. A woke up with a swollen right eye. He was also dealing with a horrible cough (that required the inhaler again) and ear infection. The pediatrician thinks that the boys both have allergies. They are taking Zyrtec daily. This past Monday we ended up at the peds office again. This time for E. A got put on a second antibiotic because his right ear was draining again after seven days of omnicef. E had a right ear infection this time, so they are both on augmentin right now. I am hoping this is the last of the ear infections for the season!
The boys are in a really fun stage. They enjoy playing together, going outside, going for walks, etc. The weather was so nice over the weekend and earlier this week. We played outside on the play set for sometime after church on Sunday. The boys loved it. Monday night we went to Forest Park in Noblesville after daddy got home from work. It is a great park with lots of fun things for toddlers. The boys got good and dirty!
They are also in a bit of a trying stage. A bit E for the first time on the cheek Tuesday afternoon. He bit me on the arm last week, so I knew it was only a matter of time. E on the other hand scratched A on the neck yesterday afternoon. We have put one of the pack in plays in the living room and the other in the play room and have started one minute time outs. We haven't had to do it a lot yet. What do I mean we? I have done all of the time outs so far. Marc doesn't like to have to discipline. He is such a good daddy. He even thinks it is cute when A stops his feet when he is mad. Recently A has taken to stopping his feet and crying when he gets mad. Its interesting to see how the boys personalities are coming out. E has been a bit clingier lately (possibly due to being sick and teething) and A is starting to be a little more independent at home. Which is a bit of a flip. E tends to be out going in public and Aaron a bit on the shy side.
It has been so fun to start to put the boys in summer clothes. They look adorable! Grammy (Grandma Smith) got them some really cute mickey mouse crocs. Today with the cooler weather they are wearing sweat pants and hoodies that Grandma Kay got them at a really neat children's clothing store. They are such handsome little men!
