Good news and bad news

First the good news... Holden finally started crawling on Saturday!! Shanon and I both got to be there when he did it for the first time which was really exciting. Proud papa had to call the grandparents and tell them the news. I had just made the comment that I wondered if the kid would be crawling by his first birthday, so I guess he showed me.















Now, the bad news. He had started getting a cold over the weekend and it got progressively worse: a bad cough, fever, and throwing up. So I took him to the doctor today and he has a double ear infection... the poor guy! So now he's back on the antibiotic we had such a fun time getting down him just a month ago. I fear that he's heading down the same path of dreaded ear infections that Macy is/was on. It's definitely not the worst thing a kid can have, but I hate being so helpless... having sick kiddos is awful!

Who are you?

Macy's latest fun thing is pretending to be someone else. It started a couple of weeks ago when she decided she was 'Valerie'. If we called her Macy we got scolded and were told she was not Macy, she was Valerie. Apparently Valerie liked to wear sunglasses in the house. Another time she said that she is 'little Hannah'.... after Hannah 'ontana as she says it. The best was when she said she was Jake (in her best rough, male voice). 'Jake' said he had went campin' with his boys and they got lost in the woods. They ate fish and then they found a dragon and it ate one of them. Then Jake asked me to come along with them, to which I respectfully declined for fear of getting gobbled.

What a fun age... you truly just never know what may come out of their mouths next!

Miss Holden

This is what happens when your big sister decides she has a little sister instead of a little brother.













She, I mean he, doesn't look too scarred does he??
