New Things!

New things around here are Tawni has her 2nd molar coming in! No front teeth but 2 molars! She now loves to play peek-a-boo, it is just so sweet! The third thing she is doing new and it is not so sweet, is she will eat a little and then start throwing the food off of the high chair. Not good! She's not done because she wants more food, but she also loves to play the drop game, you know the one, she drops it and we pick it up, I guess she thinks she can do this with her food. NOT! So now we are trying to teach her not to do that, because mom is really tired of mopping three times a day☺

So Sweet!

Things have been going ok around here. Easter was good, a time for spending some time with family and just visiting. The 9th was our 4th year wedding anniversary and we celebrated watching the kids play outside ☺ Friday night my in-laws did keep the little ones for a couple of hours so we could have a quiet dinner out, it was so nice I almost forgot what it was like to eat without kids.

Tawni is doing good, she has a molar coming in! She barely has two front bottom teeth and now a molar, I guess better for her to chew! She loves going up the stairs hopefully she will learn how to come down instead of wanting to come head first. She has also learned to do I guess what they call a "bear walk", she still gets around faster by crawling but it so cute to watch her to her half walk is what I call it. We found out her iron is low so we have more testing to do tomorrow and hopefully she will just have to have some iron drops. I have been reading that she may need vitamin supplements so I need to discuss that with her dr also.

Ty is getting bigger and talking more and more and I do mean MORE! Lateley though it has been so sweet, when Tawni fusses any, even just the littlest bit, he looks at her and says. "it's ok, Bubba is here, Bubba is right here" He wants to take care of her, he loves her so much, I pray they will always have a good relationship.

Finally!

Yeah finally my baby Tawni is signing "eat"! We have been working on this for months!
And she is waving "bye-bye" and actually trying to say "bye-bye" as she is waving! We are so excited and so happy!

I had to take Tawni to the dr today, she had a round of croup last night but thankfully not bad enough for a trip to the ER. So as we are sitting there, Tawni, Ty and I waiting for the dr, Ty sits on the dr's stool and he says " I am the dr" So I went with it...
Me: "You're the dr?"
Ty: "Yes"
Me: "what is your name?"
Ty: "My name is Dr. Ty"
Me: "So dr, what is wrong with Tawni?"
Ty: "She's got the croups"
Poor baby, at 2, he knows why we have to go the dr so much.

It's Official!

It's official, I can't leave Tawni downstairs to play while I am putting laundry away upstairs. I left Tawni in the kitchen playing with the dining chairs and I came upstairs to make Ty's bed which takes about 2 minutes and when I turned the corner there was Tawni half-way up the stairs! As I picked her up she growled at me like "I was having fun climbing!"

We had to make another trip to the eye dr. She has a bump on her eye like a sty but it's not a sty it's called some weird name☺ Anyways she has antibiotic ointment for it and it has put off the patching of the eye for awhile and another visit in 4 weeks to make sure the bump is gone and if not we have to do surgery to drain it.

Also while we are hitting all the appointments I through a dental check up in there and all is good with Ty and Tawni's teeth, well Ty's teeth, Tawni's tooth!

Yeah Tawni!!

This morning as we were getting ready for church, I guess Miss Tawni felt adventerous so she crawled over to our stairs and I couldn't believe it, she got all the way up onto the first step, she sat there looked around "like I think I can do this" and so she did, she started climbing up our stairs!! We were all so happy, I even cried tears of joy! And we were only a little late to church, but it was all worth it☺

Eyes

We took Tawni to the optometrist today and I took it pretty well because I was expecting to what was going to happen. We knew that Tawni's right eye crossed in, but it was kind of hard to swallow that he had said it gotten worse, which we knew but is always hard to take hearing it out loud. So for awhile we will patch her left eye for an hour a day and see if that helps. She is also very nearsighted and will need glasses soon but just hate to do it at still a very young age. It's hard to take but Tawni just can not see very well, with being nearsighted, cross-eyed and having nystagmus. But you know what, it doesn't slow that baby down!

A few things going on around here is she actually pulled all the way up on the couch yesterday, I don't know that she realized what she did because she was to busy chasing Ty. Then a little bit later she pulled herself all the way up on our bottom step and laid there. It was like she was trying to figure out how to climb up the stairs like everyone else does.
Another thing going on, is my husband's ankle starting hurting on saturday and he thought he had just twisted it, sunday it felt a little better but was sore, and then monday it was really hurting, so much that I asked him to go to the dr that night but he didn't, he said he would go on tuesday. He called our dr to get an appointment and they couldn't see him til friday, so he went tuesday evening to a minor clinic and they determined he has a BLOOD CLOT in his ankle! I am so glad he didn't wait til friday. They gave him some medicine and today it is feeling better. Just so scary for him to have something so dangerous. Like the song says, My Life Would Suck Without Him!☺

Our night, or should I say early morning.

At 12:30 a.m., I heard it, you know "the cough" that croupy cough. So I checked in on Tawni, and thought honey I am too tired for an ER visit, so please just let it be a cough. So she settled down for about 45 minutes and then it started again and it came on with a vengeance, so at 1:30 I picked her up and tried to calm her down and knew it was time to go to the ER, so I yelled at my husband to help me so I could get dressed, and then 1 minute later, I was screaming at my husband, Tawni CAN'T BREATHE, CALL 911! And what seemed like forever, the fire truck and ambulance finally came. And to add we live in a culdasac, so I know my neighbors are just loving us with all the lights and sirens at 2:00 in the morning! So with a breathing treatment in the ambulance and one in the ER plus a dose of steroids, Tawni seems to be feeling better, just tired. We already made a trip to the pediatrician's office and they said she sounds great, so I am thankful :) It just amazes me how fast it comes on, she actually had a great day yesterday, playing outside and crawling up and down the step, and in out of the house, which is another big accomplishment for her!
Tori is also sick and will be going to the dr this afternoon. Ty seems ok his allergies are acting up, we didn't get him up last night but I am sure it woke him up, he is just so good about laying in his bed and going back to sleep but he seems really tired today so hopefully he will take a good nap!
Spring time is here and I was hoping all this sickness was behind us!
