I Can't Believe the Boys Are 20 Months Old!!!!!

We have had some crazy weather.  We have had 70 degree days and snow days.  Wow!!!!

Nathan swinging and enjoying the sunshine while Jacen and I played with bubbles and cars!!!

Nathan asleep in the recliner holding his bear that Pawpaw and Mimi gave him for Christmas. 

SNOW

This was the first snow of the season, and the first that Jacen has really been able to play in!!!  (Last year he was still too small)

Playtime!!!!

Lunch with Mommy at Fazolis!!!

Grandma came to visit!!!!  The boys loved it!!!!!

Playing, Therapy, Science Spectrum, Second Hair Cuts, and One More Christmas

Jacen loves playing with his cars so much we use other toys as props for car time.   The barn has become his garage for his cars.  The slide is his place to drive the cars up and down. :)

Nathan's therapist showing me another stretch this week!!!!

A friend suggested having Nathan sit supported in the boppy, but it took 2 to work :)

Jacen and I spent our time together on Thursday at Science Spectrum.  We had lots of fun!!!!

I took the boys on Friday to have their 2nd Hair cuts!!!!  They still don't have a lot of hair on top, but the sides and back were getting scruffy :)

My Dad and Stepmom (PawPaw and MiMi) came to visit and bring the boys their Christmas presents!!!!  Thank y'all!!!!

The Second Week of 2011

Besides our normal weekly activities, Nathan had a nephrologist (kidney doctor) appointment this week.   Because one of his kidney numbers had gone up, we had to see Dr. Arnold.  We are going to continue watching the bloodwork and possibly decrease one of his meds.  

Nathan never really showed any RSV signs last week, and Jacen never got it.  Praise God!!!

Nathan's OT was showing me how to do a neck stretch as well as showing me how to stand him against the couch.

Nathan is holding his soft lamb.

So Jacen decided he needed to sit in Nathan's chair, too :)

While Nathan was on tummy time, Jacen decided he wanted his blanket to do tummy time, too!!!  He didn't stay there very long :)

We have started putting Nathan in the high chair while we eat supper, so he can be at the table with us.  He seems to like sitting up straight.  Jacen seems to enjoy Nathan sitting next to him.

I put a toy of Jacen's in front of Nathan one day this week.  I was trying to see if he would focus on the lights that were going along with the music.  He seemed to focus on them!!!!

Nathan got Playdoh from Caleb at his birthday party, so I thought I would see what he would do with it.  He gripped the piece in his left hand for a while :)

Jacen decided the block wagon was more fun without the blocks :)

First Week of 2011

We always keep busy during the week with appointments, therapy, visitors, and our daily routine.  We had a pretty good week until Thursday when Nathan's "normal" congestion seemed to be bothering him more.  He would scream after coughing.  He was worn out from coughing, so he wanted to sleep a lot.  So we ended up in the ER Thursday evening where they determined he has RSV.  Wow!!!  I never would have guessed because he didn't have any of the "normal" signs but that is Nathan.  It is contagious, so we are not going many places for like a week.  

I tried this week to remember to take pictures of Nathan while doing his stretches/therapy.  

The first two are Nathan attempting to sit up.

Nathan holding his head up during tummy time.

We use the bear to identify the parts of the face as well as push the buttons and listen.  The bear said give me a hug, so I was trying to show Nathan how to hug the bear. 

Science Spectrum

Jacen and I met Kim, Katelyn, Elizabeth, Briley, and Avery to play!!!  I somehow didn't get a picture of Katelyn, but everyone had fun!!!!

He actually figured out how to jump!!!!

Briley and Avery love the Tinker Toys!!!

The strip the Davis boys are standing on makes the sounds, but Jacen was more interested in watching the lights :)

The circle part of the table is spinning, so when you put something on it it slings the item off.  The boys loved it!!!!

Jacen after Science Spectrum, after lunch, after not going to sleep during nap.  He finally crashed on our bed watching cartoons while I fed Nathan at 3pm. 

Jacen with his new See 'n Say

Laura came over Friday evening to make plates with the boys footprints.  She is working on the design while Jacen plays with her phone :)

Patches watching over his "Baby"
