So an update on the boys. They are amazing..minus these stupid colds they have had for the last like month! They have had constant runny noses and little coughs. . .that really are only bad at night, but they are just fine! They both just had their well checks...20 months and 6 months (Eli's was supposed to be at 19 months, but I waited so I could do the boys both at the same time, and the pediatrician won't do them early, only ontime or late as far as months go) So....your stats:
Eli:
24lbs 10oz (25%)
32in (25th %)
and I don't know his head size...I just know its higher than the 75th percentile
Izaak:
18lbs 9oz (75%)
26.5in (75%)
and same deal with his head....higher than the 75th percentile.
I adore my large headed children! hahaha! I think that Izaak is going to be "normal" and Eli is just going to be a little on the smaller/shorter/lighter side-->which is just a.ok with me!
Izaak is seriously the happiest baby on the planet. Which makes it good for him, because since he doesn't like to sleep through the night (at all) .....and the fact that he is so easy going makes me not angry when he wakes me up at 1:30am and 4:30ish, everynight. (tis very frustrating!) But other than that he is so happy, he sits up perfectly unassisted, but he won't roll over. I asked the Doctor about that and she said it was ok, and it isn't something to worry about just yet, he will get it down. She was impressed that he is sitting so well and has been for about a month now on his own. He is very interested in toys and things he can grab right now (which includes faces!) But he just smiles and smiles and smiles. If there are tears of any kind its because Eli has accidently stepped on his hand/leg/whatever is in the way, or because he is tired and wants to swing. (this kid LOVES to swing)
Eli is something else. Let me tell you. There just aren't any words to describe him, really. The best one I can think of is BUSY. He is so incredibly busy! He is BEYOND dramatic (I wonder where he gets that from?????) and he is absolutely HILARIOUS. He has this fake laugh and while he is doing it, he throws his head backwards and slaps his leg. If you ask him to show you his happy face, you get a face that is one for the books. He also has a mean face where he puts up his fists and makes a "mean face." I will try to get pictures of these :) (I have one of his happy face. I just need to scan it or something. Its on my facebook page. It is his school picture. I was there while they took his picture and he wouldn't smile, so I said "Please, Eli, show them your happy face" and he gave the most incredible face of all time. It is definitely one I will be showing his girlfriend when he's 16!) He is so incredibly smart. I know that everyone thinks their kid is the smartest kid ever, and I'm not saying that...but I am saying he is very intelligent. He doesn't forget things either. He is starting to say a lot of words. Some of the most common are...."FOOTTTTBALLLLL, Golfball, just plain "ball" Payton, Mama, Dada, Ya Ya (which is what he calls my mom), Nana, juice, Seeeeeeet (which means sit...he always wants you to sit by him and do what he needs you to do), blue, green, Elmo, yaaaa (his teacher at school always says.."saaaay ya" so he loves to say that) he also says "hiiiiiii" in a really high pitched voice, like everyone talks to him and Izaak, its hilarious. He does have a weird thing with the sounds of the letter b. He says D instead. So instead of "bye" its more like "duh" but it works and we get it, he will get the hang of it soon!! If you ask him to say words, he will almost always try to say them. I love seeing him learn. And he is still loving school!
Eli absolutely adores Izaak. At the Doctors office the other day the nurse was weighing Izaak and measuring him and stuff and Eli started yelling jibberish at the nurse. He then did the same thing with the Dr. It is adorable. He is very over protective. He also loves to bring Izaak toys and stuff for him to "play" with...however if Eli wants something oooooomaaaaiiiigaaah..he is going to take it right away from Izaak, no questions asked. So we are currently working on SHARING. Any advice on that would be fantastico! :)
So there is your update. I am doing ok. Struggling financially..big time, but it'll be ok. . .once I start to receive the help I am supposed to be receiving. I hope. I get very frustrated and upset quite often over specific situations, but when I see those 2 little boys, my attitude immediately changes. They are amazing little boys that bring me such joy!
Minus winning the lottery, life couldn't get much better!
