Catching Up

So, part of the reason I haven't been blogging much is because we've been busy (obsessed) with house-searching right now. We're really praying that we make the right decision with all of this. Joey is still having some lower-respiratory issues, and after using the nebulizer the gazillionth time, decided that he was a big enough boy to hold it for himself. This has made my life much easier. It seems his latest diagnosis was that he had a cold that went into his lungs and that congestion just wouldn't go away. The new super antibiotic he is on is working great. He also has seasonal allergies and is taking singular and zyrtek daily.




Here are two more pictures from my mom's visit. I was so spoiled for 1 1/2 weeks as my mom was with us for the first week and she was a big help. She has so much fun with the kids and of course, we had fun too. Then Mario ended a project and took Mon-Wed off for this week. Most of the time we were house-hunting, but it was nice having him around too. Things are back to normal now... except for the house-obsession.

I wanted a cute picture of the boys for Mother's Day but was having camera battery issues. Each time I took one picture, it would turn off. After 10 minutes of making the boys say cheese for various camera phones, camcorder, digital cameras, this is all we got for this one.Observtions from the past few weeks:-MJ and Joey are such good friends... the share (for the most part), wrestle, and they have their own language of grunts.-MJ can hit a ball when tossed to him (trying to get him working on multiple advanced sports skills)-Joey is trying to talk more to ask for things (mostly first consonants) -- who knew that it is normal for younger siblings to reach milestones earlier, except for talking, which usually happens later?-Joey likes to scream though! Which is one reason I spend most of mass in the foyer.-Joey is officially weaned... at least I think I can say that now. His last nursed meal was over a week ago. He did alright with the process for the most part. We kind of went cold turkey on the last two feedings. Though, the trade off was Joey felt that waking up at 5:30am was fun. I am so happy that this morning, he realized a more reasonable 7am was a good wake-up time.
