It's been a while since I updated the site, we had a pretty crazy Feb! Kyle and Bryson started daycare again (I'm working 2 days a week now and a few hours on Fridays) and ken started a new job (Southwest Medical Center Home Health). After their first week in daycare both boys got sick. It seemed like just a cold at first, but after a few days Bryson was getting better and Kyle was getting worse. Kyle started having vomitting and diarrhea and after a few days of that I brought him in to see the doctor. They gave me some meds to stop the vomitting, but it didn't work and I had to take him to the ER the next day for dehydration. He got IV fluids and all the tests they did came back negative. They decided to keep him for observation and it was a good thing. That night he started having problems breathing. They repeated his lab work and x-ray and found he had pneumonia. He was in the hospital for four days. It was sad to see him so sick, he just slept most of the time. You could tell when he was feeling better because he wanted to play and started smiling again. The nurses told me he was their favorite (but I'm sure they say that to everyone.) He lost over two pounds and has been pretty slow gaining it back. He has finally started eating really good over the last few days. We have a follow visit march 17th to check his weight again. I've been mixing his food with cream to try and fatten him up. He is so skinny his head looks huge when he has all his clothes off!
We painted the shelving in the library white and made it into an office area. We also made my craft room into a playroom for the boys and my stuff is upstairs in our room. The boys really enjoy thier playroom. Bryson is talking more all the time. He is starting to put three words together now. He loves going outside and "riding bikes". He wants to go out even when its rainy. Kyle is crawling all over the house now and can move pretty fast! He just started to try pulling up to stand and enjoys walking while you hold him up. Kyle loves the playroom too, but tends to destroy Bryson's train tracks and stuff (we call him baby-zilla). Both the boys, the dog and the cat love to play with the lazer light. It's pretty funny to watch them all go after it. (see drop shots video).
My sister Jess came to visit for a long weekend. We went to the zoo and met up with the Cale's (with new baby Carter) and the Blickenstaff's all the boys had a good time, but we had to leave early with Bryson due to nap time crabbiness. The Blickenstaff's had us all over for dinner and all the boys played great together. On Sunday we went to the beach with Jess and Bryson got to play in the sand. (He loves to play in dirt and stuff and puts it in his hair- I figured I'd give him the chance to get real dirty!) The weather wasn't great, but that didn't stop Bryson. Kyle seemed a little unsure at first about the sand, but crawled all over after a while. Bryson had a great time with Aunt Jess, he had someone to play "cars" with and playdough and read books!
