I feel it's been a whirlwind lately...so here goes. The little man turned 9 months last week. He weighed in at 21 lbs and was 28.5 inches. He dropped from 95% to 65th. I'm not sure if it's because of his ear infections and teething that he's not eating as much, but sure enough he is now eating everything in sight...so go figure. He is so happy all the time and does not stop. He loves to pull up on anything he can. Peek-a-boo is a favorite game right now and he seems to be working on more teeth. The little man even got his first haircut. He was so cute and sat so still.
Auntie, Granna and Pappa came to visit. The girls were so excited to take Auntie to the butterfly exhibit at the desert botanical gardens. The flowers were in bloom and we got to see a few more butterflies than before. Bella wanted to keep stopping at all the booths so she could "learn". We stopped at the mesquite booth and the bird nest booth. Gabby was good to go after she looked at things but Bella just wanted all the information she could get.
We came home and Granna and Pappa had arrived, so we decorated eggs. Auntie even made one to look Uncle Shawn since he couldn't join us.
The girls had soccer and both scored goals again (Bella 2 and Gabby 3). Bella did a little celebration after her goal. Gabby always run to Joel after she scores.
Easter was a great day. The girls were so excited that the Easter Bunny came and ate the carrots and left new dolls. We went to church and then headed to Brunch. Jeremiah LOVED the Easter Bunny. He was all smiles and just kept petting him. We headed outside for the egg hunt and then enjoyed the yummy variety of food. Bella wanted to try some things, but Gabby was set on only eating bacon, sausage and fruit. We sat next to the band and Gabby and Bella wanted to dance with daddy. Afterwards we headed to the animals so Bella could pet the bunnies. Gabby got brave and went in, but once the chickens started running around her she was ready to go.
I feel like all the kids have been rotating their sickness. Jeremiah had tubes put in the end of January. The morning that Auntie came into town Bella had her 3rd ear surgery. Dr. McKenna had to go in and put a patch on her left ear where the tube was and it never closed.
Now Gabby has MRSA again. She fell at Bella's soccer practice and got a scratch on her booty. By Friday night a little pus spot started. By Monday we were at Dr. Yoblonski's office. She drained some and Gabby was so brave even though she scream bloody murder. We went back today after starting anti-biotics and it had gotten even bigger about 3" wide and 2" tall and now a little one is on her big toe. She can hardly sit in her car seat her booty hurts so bad. Since it was bigger, Dr. Yoblonski thought it needed to drain more since it's not draining on it's own she called the peds surgeon and got us in. So we are headed to the hospital in the morning to have a drain put in. I am praying that this will start her on a rapid recovery and get rid of her pain. It is so pitiful to see her limping around. She has become a little mama's girls, which is a nice change.
To end a long post here's a funny story about our sassy ladies. The other night I was getting ready to dry the girls hair and Bella asked if she could use the ipad.
me: not tonight since it is already so late.
B: mommy you're mean
me: what did you say
B: never mind
me: what did you say
B: mom I said never mind
me: what did you say before you said never mind
B: I love you
me: no, you said mommy you're mean
B: well, if you knew what I said then why did you ask me.
