Snow!

The snow has been beautiful but I'm now officially ready for Spring! Wyatt has enjoyed getting out in the snow to play and help me shovel the driveway. I've had a few snow days so we've been able to spend a few extra days together:) Unfortunately Wyatt has to have minor surgery on Tuesday so see what is going on with his ear. He had tubes put in a year ago and since then his left ear has been great but he's had constant drainage and infections in his right ear. I think he's been on ear drops more than he's been off them this past year. So the doctor decided he wanted to put Wyatt under, remove the tube, and get a really good look at what is going on. So that is what we have to look forward to on Tuesday!

Chase came down with his first illness last weekend, getting pink eye and an ear infection. He is currently on antibiotics and eye drops, along with his Zantac still. We could start a mini-pharmacy here! He continues to be happy through it all, but is just not sleeping quite as well at night right now. Hopefully this gets better soon!

Busy Times

Things here have been busy with me being back to work so I haven't had as much time to post. It's hard to believe that Chase is now 4 months old! He is developing his own little personality...he is a very happy little guy, he loves to "talk" to anyone who talks to him, he continues to flash his little smirk often , and is proving to be a little flirt at school. He loves his teachers and is doing really well at school. We had his 4 month checkup last week and he weighed in at 16 pounds, 2 ounces (80th percentile) and was 26.25 inches long (92nd percentile). Everything looked good:) He also started on rice cereal last week and so far is loving it!

Wyatt is also doing well. He is a great big brother and can't wait for Chase to get bigger so he can play with him. Wyatt has become so independent and loves to help me out around the house. He helps me do laundry and enjoys "dunking" the clothes in the washing machine. He also has his own little dust pan and broom and likes to clean up the crumbs off the floor after he eats. We are continuing to work on potty training but he is not that interested in it. Right now he is wearing his big boy underware over his pull-ups...a guess it's a step in the right direction:) Last weekend he started gymnastics class on Saturday mornings at The Little Gym and absolutely loved it! It is nice to have some special Wyatt/Mommy time.

Everyone is doing well here and we are enjoying the snow!
