It seems like the past few days have been busy, there is SO much to get done it seems in the next few days and we've been running around like crazy. Though with 2 boys, it seems that one of us either Mike or I end up not doing much but playing and holding them. That's alright though, it's great that we are both home to do that. So just a recap, I think I posted the last time about our trip to the park, we made another trip to the park today with our friends, Sara & Ethan and Alexis and Simon. Both boys again had a great time. Joshua is so busy with his hands all of the time, he wants something to grab on to and put in his mouth. Seems odd to have to remember toys for him already, but we are going to have to start doing that. Honestly his blanket would also work in a pinch and he wouldn't care at all. He's also really enjoying his exersaucer - he especially likes the big top toy on it. He got upset this morning when he had himself turned around facing the snack tray, he was great once he had toy to look at. I think he's going to also be an outside boy, amazing how much more calm and settled he's been there.
Josh also had a doctor appointment yesterday, he just didn't look better to Mike or me, he looked worse and was still up itching several times at night (hard for any of us to sleep with that and not any fun!). Well, it turns out that he does have eczema - not too surprising but now they will follow that as needed and at his well baby visits and such. He got some hydrocortizone cream that we'll use for up to a week at a time during flare ups (like has right now). He already looks better today with just 2 treatments of it. Still lots of lotion and that kind of thing, but it's good to know we aren't losing our minds and that he seems to not itch so bad.
Noah continues to just love to play. He's so busy, he's really getting into doing puzzles this week. He'll go to his room and ask for them. He's getting pretty good at some of them too. Stickers have become a favorite again this week too. We have used them almost daily the past few days. We're learning that they only go on ourselves or paper though. Noah has just thoroughly enjoyed these beautiful days to spend time outside.
Mike continues to work hard on the deck, he's working on the benches/rails today and tonight. He has just worked so hard, I hope that he's able to finish by Saturday morning, I know if not he'll be very disappointed. We are still hoping to play and grill out for Noah's party (though they are calling for rain which wouldn't be much fun and we'd be moved inside). Check out the Kodak site for more pictures from today - sorry no time to wait for them to load again here...Josh just went to sleep and Noah is watching a show, I'm going to try and get some cleaning and straightening up done now.
