Seriously, again??

Okay I just have to get out my whining and complaining now, sorry, then I promise some pictures and updates on the boys. So I had surgery 5 1/2 weeks ago, everything was going fine, healing fine just one spot taking a bit longer. Well last night it's oozing stuff and this morning it's a bright red and hurts and is still oozing so of course I go to the doctor, well ER really. Yeah so now this is infected...are you kidding? Could I please just heal like a normal person and get better? So no gym this week, they had to slice it open again and then stick in a needle to get more junk out, aparently lots of puss and blood - nice huh? - and we have to pack it with gauze that is soaked in something until Thursday and I'm taking medicine again. UGH! I'm sick of having these stupid weird things happen. Oh well, it hurts and probably will for the rest of this week they said. Yuck! The weather is doing okay here especially considering they said it was going to rain all weekend. Mike got lots done this morning and got all the old wood taken away this weekend with some help from Ken and Matt, that was great. The Christmas lights are finally coming down too...haha!

Kasey is doing really well. She of course is still a puppy and we are working on manners and not nipping, but she's making really great progress and even did well last night when we had some company. We are also having very few accidents - thank goodness! She has found a new spot to hang out when she's tired, under the exersaucer, such a cutie.

Noah is continuing to add words to his vocabulary, sometimes it totally surprises us. He said "pizza" while Mike's parents were here, but yesterday we went for pizza for lunch and he was so very excited about pizza, he would say "yeah pizza, pizza" and he ate 3 slices (almost) and this was after 3 bowls of cereal. Mike gave him cereal in the little Gerber bowls we have, this morning though he gave him a regular bowl and it was eaten. He still had a big lunch today, too. This must be another growth spurt because normally he only has 1 big meal during the day. He's had an enormous amount of energy lately, too and it is a totally silly energy. Onry little boy sometimes too. He also is beginning to want to play catch, where he'll stand in one spot and want to throw it back and forth. He's getting a little better at catching too.

Josh is still loving his exersaucer and is so into playing peek a boo! He gets the absolute best smiles when we play. He's getting to be so expressive. When he's happy he has great smiles and laughs, but when he's not happy he is still quite expressive especially in his eyebrows, he looks so mad. He's a very grabby kid lately, too. Yesterday when he was sitting near Ethan, he kept grabbing at Ethan and trying to chew on Ethan's feet or ears. Poor Ethan! Ethan is getting so big too! It will be so much fun to see Josh and Ethan play. We're really hoping that the sleep thing will get better, he's going a little longer now, up to about 5 hours and then 3. We just need to work on getting him on a better schedule so that 5 hour stretch starts shortly before we want to go to bed I guess. I have to laugh when I think of all the things that say at 6 months they should sleep through the night...here's to hoping that's a magical number of months. We weighed Josh tonight too, now this was still with clothes and diaper on which isn't there when he gets weighed at appointments, but still pretty close I think to right. So at 4 months he was 25 inches and 14 lbs 9 oz...today at about 5 1/2 months he is 25 inches and 16 lbs 9 oz! Chunky little monkey. We actually switched his clothes out today too, he's now in his 6 - 9 month stuff. The other stuff was starting to just look tight on him and too snug and since we already had what he needed it just made sense. I think that is all for us...we're going to have a relaxing Sunday tomorrow hopefully with church and then just grilling out with us after that. We thought it would be great to relax at home and let the boys play and Kasey play. It's a little easier to feel like we're hanging out as a family at home sometimes so there's not one of us with one kid and the other with the other and this way we Kasey will get lots of time to play too (Noah is still wearing her out though!)
