December...it's been rough...
Well..we started off the month with a bang! Noah had tubes...for the third time. Ryder had a temp of 101/102 and a run to Urgent Care. Mommy had a kidney stone procedure (ESWL) and Daddy got a nasty sinus infection...oh...and then Ryder got his first ear infection (what a long night!!!!!!). We are ready for break! I will post pics later...we have had a lot of fun taking pictures:) We got a new camera and are LOVING it! Ryder is a rolling machine and loves to "stand" up! Noah has discovered his love for Santa Claus! On our ride to day care one day...we were singing Up On The House Top. Noah, "Who is Saint Nick?" Mom--"well...Saint Nick is another name for Santa Claus" Noah--"Like Megan's Nick?" My grad student is getting married this Saturday and his fiance Megan lived with us this fall...so...I can see where Noah was confused! After Megan moved out...we decided to turn the room into a play room. Not totally done...that will be the holiday break project...hoping to de-clutter the downstairs a bit. Noah has been getting into the Elf on the Shelf as well...his name is Julio:) We don't get super crazy like some folks or take cool pictures...but Noah seems to have fun!
I am still dealing with kidney stones...not sure what kind I have but the doctor was not concerned...I just have to drink 2.5 liters of fluid a day...which is a lot! It wouldn't be all that big of a deal...but when I get working on something...I forget. But no more...I DO NOT want to do this again:( I had to pump and dump (sorry...too much info) for a week...and bottles are A LOT more work once you are used to nursing. We have a huge stock pile so not a big deal (actually we are running out of SPACE!!), but I missed the one on one time with little Ryder-roo:) It was the first time I was ever put under (the wisdom teeth was not heavy anesthetics).
Noah...hoping the ears continue to grow like he does and hopefully we can avoid future ear stuff...we are struggling right now with swimming lessons. We want to do them...but the ear plugs are not a fun battle and there are two doctors in town who have different philosophies...we go to the one that says you have to use ear plugs. Ugg...but forever thankful that this is all we deal with.
Ryder is almost 7 months old!! He is an eating machine! We have discovered baby oatmeal and sweet potatoes. He loves to use his jumperoo and Noah can make him giggle like no one else! We are waiting for Ryder to really start moving...he rocks back and forth when he is sitting (such a good sitter!!!)...and then he will lunge forward and onto his tummy. He can scoot all around on his tummy (like a full 360). And he babbles all of the time. Scott of course thinks he says Daddy...but I think it is just babbling:)
Daddy is staying busy with refereeing and school...desperate need of a break for all teachers. The shooting in Connecticut I think has forever changed how schools look at things. I won't go into detail on my own thoughts or the incident itself. But...having children and being married to a teacher who would go after the person...I had a total meltdown at work. My anxiety has shot through the roof. I pray out loud when I am by myself and just keep asking why and what do we do? As a mother of boys...does this happen with all of the violent things out there for them to play with? We have shut off the news...when Noah goes after the bad guys we talk about guns and hat that means. I don't want to be wary of public places or young men who look "shady" but I can't help it. I went to a training this fall that makes me feel a little better about what to do in a situation...but you never know. So...for now...on our snow day...I am going to play with my kids. Watch Sesame Street and make tents. I want to snuggle every chance I get and let the dishes pile up.
Happy holidays...snuggle whenever you can and pictures to get posted soon!
