We are alive...we are alive!!!
It's hard to believe, and also a bit embarrassing, that it's been over a MONTH since I updated you all on the wee ones. TONS has happened in our lives...so let me begin.
Squirt was baptized on August 28th, where my brother and sister stood beside us as his godparents (they are Lil P's too). Squirt wore the same baptismal gown that Lil P and his cousins wore, the one that my mom handmade for her grandchildren to be baptized in. The gown is beautiful and very special to us all! After the baptism we came back to our house for lunch, and play time of course!
Later that same day, Lil P celebrated her 2nd birthday (gosh, 2 already?!). Elmo was the theme and the day was shared with friends and family from near and far. One of mine and The Knight's coworkers made this fabulous cake which tasted just as wonderful as it looked.
We've had two road trips to Franklin to visit my family and will be heading to Missouri in a few short weeks to visit The Knight's family. Lil P is a fabulous traveller and Squirt is getting better with every trip:)
Lil P is really a special little girl, she seems to be growing up so quickly. She often speaks in sentences and she's able to communicate her needs and wants using more and more words daily. She's an excellent big sister to Squirt, making sure she helps him whenever she can. Overall she's been really healthy, despite the one viral infection she had a few weeks ago. Her breathing has been great, seriously no bouts with wheezing in quite some time...praise God! The Knight and I are so proud of our little girl. She's got such a sweet spirit and really seems to enjoy life!
Squirt is already TEN and a half weeks old...OMG, time has really flown by!!! When we took him for his two month check up he weighed 14 lbs and 2 oz and was 23 inches long. He's measuring in the 90th percentile for height, weight and head circumference. Who knows, maybe we have a football player on our hands!! We've finally got his tummy issues figured out (we think), he's on his fifth type of formula and has been successfully for right at a month now. He too was diagnosed with having reflux (like big sister) and he's taking medication twice daily, which really seems to be helping with the symptoms. My little man eats all the time...seriously, he never seems to get enough! When Lil P had her viral infection, Squirt was also sick with his first ear infection. Seriously, a two month old with an ear infection?!?! UGH, my poor children and their ears!!!! After 10 days of antibiotics, he's doing great. He's still not sleeping through the night, but luckily he wakes just once to eat (I told you he was a hungry guy). He's pretty laid back and goes with the flow. He's cooing and smiling all the time, even so much that sometimes when I'm on the phone people hear him over me...and you know Im loud:) He shops A LOT with me, and even tags along on lunch dates (actually he gets invited and I tag along). The verdict is still out on whether he looks like me or The Knight...but either way he's pretty darn fantastic.
I'm almost 100% positive I've forgotten something about the kids, but these are the big happenings in their lives. A future post is to come on how The Knight and I are surviving life with two kids two years old and younger!!! Until then...tons of love!
