Addie's weekly photo
Cooper's weekly photo
This week we went to Arkansas for Daddy's family Christmas. There was not one but TWO celebrations while we were there, so the kids were very entertained! If it weren't for all of us being sick, we probably would've had even MORE fun. Aside from being sick, it was really nice for the kids to see all of the family.
All about Addie
Sick, sick SICK: The whole house had come down with the same cold this week and poor little Addie had taken a direct hit to her ears. We went to the doctor to have her checked out and the doc confirmed that she had a little blockage in front of her tubes. He prescribed drops and some meds to help kick the virus.
Growing girl: The doctor weighed Addie when we went in to get her ears looked at and she already weighs 30lbs!! I just couldn't believe it!! I have a niece that didn't weigh 30lbs till she was 4 1/2 years old!! Although this wasn't an "official" checkup, the doctor said Addie is growing beautifully and she's still at average height and weight from what he could see.
New phrases:
"That was a very good story"- She says this when we read books and when the story is done.
"Look at my mouth"- When Nana tries to teach Addie a new word, Nana will tell Addie to look at her mouth. Now, when Addie picks up on a word we say, she will repeat it (without being asked) and say "mama, look at my mouth..." and then she will repeat the word. Too funny!!
All about Cooper
First illness: This week, Cooper came down with his very first cold :( Poor pathetic little guy. We felt so bad because while all of us could take cough drops and nighttime aids to help alleviate the cold, he was too little to take anything.
Crawling Machine: On Thursday, Cooper crawled from the living room (upstairs) all the way into the front entryway (about 12 feet) in about 5 minutes. That's definitely the furthest I've seen him crawl in such a short amount of time.
Growing Boy: Last week, we posted that Cooper has outgrown most of his 9 month clothes and is filling out his 12 mo. clothes pretty well. At the doctor, both kids were weighed and Cooper was 20lbs! We still need to schedule his 9 month checkup to confirm the rest of his measurements, but I couldn't believe how much he weighs already!
