Our last few weeks…

This week has been pretty calm so far.  Ethan has a bad cough and won’t eat, but what else is new (the no eating part).  The boys had their doctor apts. last week.  Ethan has moved up to the 24% in weight (go figure), he has always been in the 5% or lower since he was born.  And according to his height at 2 years, he is expected to be about 6′ when he gets older.  We’ll have a tall and skinny boy on our hands.

Lucas’ weight is very good, he’s 12 lbs.  He’s had some issues with feeding for the past month or so.  He would scream and fuss at many of his feedings.  I was getting a bit worried b/c I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him.  Thought it might have been what I was eating so I cut out milk thinking he might have a milk allergy.  That didn’t help much.  The doctor thought it might be reflux so she prescribed some medicine for him.  I did some more research when I got home from the doctor and found some other things he might be dealing with and made some adjustments in his feedings and he is doing so much better!  I’m hoping it’s not reflux… I’ve cut back on his medicine and he seems to be doing much better so maybe he’s just outgrowing whatever it was.  ANYWAY!

Here are some pictures of the past few weeks:

Ethan’s buddy, Eban Magrum, came over for lunch and playtime … they had lots of fun. Eban let Ethan borrow a bunch of shoes he has outgrown and Ethan LOVES them!  He always wants to try on a new pair.

I went in to the other room to do something and when I came back, I found Ethan with this.  He’s getting tall enough to reach things on the counter now.

Ethan loves to play with cousin Jordan!

Lucas wanted to join in on family game time!

It was a rough night for Ethan!

Little Brother, Lucas.
