Another Climber

Dominic is now climbing. Just what we needed around here! A 3rd climber. He was on the dishwasher yesterday, I thought no big deal, that's like 1 step. Then today he managed to get on to the train table to get to the toy he wanted. Though it's kind of cute, it will not be fun when all 3 are climbing to get into trouble or get to the candy.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!! We spent our new year all together here at home. The boys are still sick, Aidan is eating again though so today was more the usual of trying to keep them out of trouble. Dominic was coughing the bark cough all night last night, it sounds just like when Aidan had croup when he was a baby. So far he's still eating just crabby and sleeping a lot more. Such the eating champ.
I got a few little videos of us being silly last night I'll have to put on here later. Aidan stayed up with us until 12am to see the fireworks outside. I'm hoping we have a good and healthy year. Jeff starts school in a few weeks so that will be interesting. Collin is finally getting a bit easier now that he can talk and be understood, he can voice to us how he feels. We are off to a good start!

Update

All 3 boys are sick now with pink eye and the cold that comes with it. Aidan though cannot keep anything down and is not even eating but a few crackers the past 2 days. We called the after hour exchange last night and based on his stomach pain for the last few days they wanted us to bring him in. So I brought him in to the ER at 12:30am last night thinking he was most likely just fine but they had to do their job based on his symptoms. He has a stomach bug, not a flu but some other type that last for days. No one else has it and I've been washing lots of little hands and noses. This would be a very bad one for Dominic to get so I'm trying my best to keep him well and keep reminding Aidan he can't touch him. It's been a pretty quiet house around here with the boys under the weather, they are sleeping alot, they are being for the most part very good boys.

Sick boys

Not such a good weekend. Aidan & Dominic woke up with Pink eye and the running nose that comes with it. Collin just has a running nose, he's got an awesome immune system, he rarely gets sick. But tonight Aidan started throwing up. I'm praying that Dominic does not start it too or I'm off to the Hospital somehow, and my parents are out of town until the 3rd, Jeff has no more vacation time so I'm hoping that it stays away from Dominic and that Aidan just has a quick bug. We are supposed to take Dominic in on the first time he throws up so ensure that he gets and IV and the fluids that his body needs in an illness. Amazingly aside from spitting up formula on the occasion he's not once been throw up type sick in his 8 months of life. He's such a strong boy! He's already standing and just stared taking a few steps this week. Aidan has been laying down all day saying his tummy feels funny and is being super sweet and loving. With out Collin's partner in crime, Collin has been a very good boy. I'm hoping this passes quickly though and that my boys get better!

Merry Christmas!!

Just waking up, ready to start opening!



Jeff looking unsure of the cologne stocking stuffer I got him, really he said he was just trying to read it.

Dominic's favorite of the day was the wrapping paper.

We had an awesome Christmas. The boys were so excited over all their new toys from Santa. There was a fight within the first 5 minutes of present opening though, it was over which pile of presents each pile belonged to, (Santa) made sure they were the exact same amount. We had quite the technology filled Christmas, we got a Wii for the family, Jeff and I got MP3 players, yes I know they came out years ago. I got a Flip Video recorder, love it! The boys got diggers, dumps, Remote control vehicles, games, books, diggers, more diggers, constructions sets, a vacuum for Collin and Aidan got a Leapster and Dominic got a few cool toys.
After presents here we went to Jeff's brother Mark's house for a delicious lunch and spent all day hanging out there. Collin was in 2 year old mode, he was putting food among other things down their hall laundry shoot, he was spitting food at people, throwing food at people, and he bit his Aunt Michelle. I borrowed their wooden spoon and we also put him in time out a few times, nothing worked, he just kept right on doing what ever it was he got in trouble for. I'm not sure if it's all the excitement from Christmas or what was wrong, poor guy was a mess, a very happy boy but causing trouble all over, I think he thinks he's hilarious even when we are not laughing. I did get 2 back massages from my sister in laws, I'm thinking they felt bad as I was a bit stressed trying to keep my little mister out of trouble all day. It was over all a wonderful Christmas! And finally, no more broken ornaments to vacuum up, I can take down the tree!!! Merry Christmas!!

I love this crawling around everywhere, exploring everything stage!

How tall are the kids?

Well the tree is still here, has not been knocked over yet, we've had 4 glass balls thrown and shattered, 1 hand crafted ornament that I really liked is now broken, a bunch that have been confiscated since they were removed from the tree and we still have a week to go. Poor tree is not looking so pretty but it still has some on the top half at least, I'm so glad we did not get a real one like we normally do, that would have been a disaster.
