Catch Up

Alot of things have happened since the last time I posted!

Emma is now 6 months old and Alexander is 2 and a half! Wow has time passed by. Emma now has almost 5 teeth - 2 on bottom and the 3 on top all coming in at once. She has had 3 ear infections and fingers crossed - she hasn't had one in 2 months. :) She is rolling over everywhere and is trying to push her but up in the air - soon she will be crawling! Now the stats - 20lbs. & 26.5 inches long.

Alexander is about 28lbs and 34.5 inches long. He is becoming such a big brother! He gives bear hugs now and kisses everyone. We don't leave anywhere unless we tell everyone bye. BTW so people are very rude and some really friendly. Alexander got his 2nd thyroid test back and it is normal - what a relief. His ear tubes had both came out too. The Dr. had to remove them although, they were in the canals of his ears just hanging out. But on a side note he had a ear infection last week. :( Of course! We go back to the heart Dr in September and fingers crossed the surgeon likes what he sees.

We went on our first mini vacation to Branson! We had a great time! We went to Silver Dollar City, the outlet malls of course, and to see Dixie Stampede. The kids absoulutely loved the show! Now the drive down and back was a different story! Wow Emma was not a happy camper and she hates her carseat. Our 3.5 hr drive took about 6 both ways! Argh!

We have also already done many things this spring. We have participated in the went to the St. Patty's Day run- parade, MS Walk, March of Dimes walk, went to the zoo (we are zoogoers too), had a few bar-b-ques with friends and family, we went to the Down Syndrome picnic and have gone on many many walks and Alexander has been on his first bike ride. He is a pro at falling asleep on these long rides too.

I will post pictures soon!!
