Sick Babies

JJ was sick last week with
a runny nose, cough, and fever.
Thursday night he was up crying
most of the night so I took him to
the dr. on Friday
and he had an ear infection.
Friday night his temp spiked to 102,
but he thankfully 
did not have a seizure.
He fell asleep while I was standing up
and holding him.
He's so heavy!
He was able to sleep well 
that night and seems to
be feeling much better now.
Olivia has had a bad diaper rash,
cough, and runny nose.
Going back to work 
has been rough!
 My aunt and Grandma sent the kids
some surprises.  Olivia loves this new
Cookie Monster!  She carries him everywhere!
 This new bunny hat came with 
paw mittens!
JJ always makes this silly face in pictures now:
 Sissy is walking everywhere!
She's always trying to carry 
something along with her.
If she's excited about
something she tries to run!
 Olivia has started sticking out her tongue
when she concentrates.
 We stopped using Olivia's baby tub
so now we just use it to sing, 
"Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

11 Months

Olivia is 11 months old!
She is officially walking!
Last week she took off!
It's strange to see her mostly
standing instead of 
sitting or crawling.
She has started trying to do
the signs for
"more" and "all done."
She repeats sounds
and words very well.
She likes trying to do
the motions for songs
with JJ.
Olivia always puts her head
on things to snuggle:
 Olivia loves to hug her baby!
 Sissy loves to make a mess during meals!
Olivia definitely puts more
on the floor/in her high chair
than in her tummy!
She won't keep her hair bows in anymore!
She's always looking for them in her hair
even when she's not wearing one.
I miss this snuggly girl
when I'm at work!!
She loves getting into trouble!
She's very quick on the stairs!
Olivia is cutting her 4th tooth on the bottom
and she has two teeth on top.

Missing My Babies!

We're all still adjusting to our new
routine of me being back at work.
I miss them so much!
JJ loves his new snow pants!
Silly bear!
JJ and Olivia get very excited when 
Daddy comes home:
There is a lot of pushing and crying
at our house right now,
but there are lots of
hugs too!
JJ and Olivia love to make
caves at Grandma's!
After school snack:
Music time!
We had a diaper change in the middle
of this, and Sissy took off
right back to the paper
towels before she got dressed again!
