Year 3 – Week 14 – Day 2

It should have been a nice Saturday with time for us to do something as a family or at least to get stuff knocked off of our to-do list. Instead, Bill ended up working most of the day and I juggled the boys. It felt like Monday!

Even though everyone is doing fine, it was a long rough day for everyone. I only got a few snaps of the boys thinking that they were going to take the van for a spin by themselves.

I hope tomorrow treats us all much better!

Year 3 – Week 14 – Day 1

My camera’s battery was dead this morning and the memory card was full. Due to my procrastinating, it didn’t get fixed to take pictures today. I used a much older smaller camera instead.

Both of the boys got to do a nice bike ride today and we spent a lot of time outside.
Brendan did a short time off wires again tonight, which is so nice. I can’t even begin to explain how much easier it is for the boys to play when the wires are not there to constantly tangle on everything.
There are things wireless Brendan can do that wired Brendan can’t!

Brendan has done OK today with the change in his formula. He is getting a slightly faster rate overnight, so I hope he sleeps well!

Year 3 – Week 13 – Day 7

Brendan had a visit to his GI doctor this afternoon. He has actually lost a little weight, coming in at 34.5in tall and 26lbs 8oz. Since the last time he saw this doctor Oct 3rd, he has learned how to walk and increased his activity level significantly! So it is time he gets more calories. His formula plan was changed slightly but otherwise all else is the same.

He puts his feet like this in the stroller

I swear people look at us like I don’t know how to put a child in a stroller. 🙂

Brendan decided to do something else new today. He was able to drink out of a straw!! That is a huge deal for him, figuring out the sucking motion and taking a drink. We were excited!

While Brendan was at the doctor’s, Trevor was helping Daddy play “Fruit Ninja”
313t22

He calls out fruit as they come on screen. “Strawberry!! Banana!! Kiwi!!” It is really cute.

Brendan will eventually try it too!

Trevor made dinner again tonight.

Say cheese!

The boys had a silly night. Brendan came with me to put Trevor to bed and the two of them ended up jumping and doing somersaults on Trevor’s bed for almost an hour, giggling themselves breathless.
Brendan wore his cap for almost 2 solid hours, without oxygen. His numbers were great!
Here’s a quick clip of Mr. Wireless and Mr. Crazy playing with the temporarily unoccupied wires.
