Going through the Big D…..

Yes, folks, we have been going through the Big D at our house….Diarrhea that is. That might be tmi for some, but it’s the truth! We thought Billy was reacting to something he was taking, but then William followed suit, so we are now thinking it might have been some kind of stomach virus. Poor little guy has a raw bottom and is just miserable when we change his diaper. I feel so bad for him, but hopefully they are both on the mend now!

We played outside yesterday at a park in Green Cove Springs, and then came home and got in their little pool for the first time. They really enjoyed getting in it, even if they DID track dirt and leaves all over the place.

Emily is all over her strep throat. It turned out that she was allergic to the first antibiotic she was given, so our first night in WR, we had to visit a Medstop and get a new antibiotic for her. Thankfully, she only had a bad rash and no other reaction.

We had a great trip to my dad’s house for his BD. We got to see a lot of people we never see and it was nice to see our cousins, their kids, and see everyone playing together like they were old friends.

Some other random things:

1) Emily is saying more and more words. She finally says MAMA, yay!!! She still doesn’t say it AT or TO me, but when you tell her to say it, instead of saying Daddy, she now actually says Mama. William, on the other hand, will still say Daddy when you ask him to say Mama. Go figure!

2) Emily loves to give kisses and they always big, fat, open mouth kisses…so funny!

3) William hates elevators! Everytime we get in, he cires.

4) They are both getting into more and more trouble, but William definitely gets into more than Emily does. They insist on standing on the couch and jumping, something we don’t want them to do. They have also discovered our “entertainment” cabinet, which holds the DVD player, Wii, etc. They are NOT supposed to open the doors, and we have tried several things to discourage this, but so far, nothing is working. They get their hand popped and they have to sit in time-out…and the first thing they do when they get up is go right back over. I suppose this is the life of 17 month old twins!

I guess that’s it for now. We did some computer re-arranging yet again, so my computer is in a better place now, and hopefully that will help me to blog a bit more. Happy Sunday!

Just for the record

Yes, I know, I'm a terrible blogger. I don't know why...I get in phases where I want to do it every night, and then it fades.....

Anyway, 2 things:
1) Friday will be 3 weeks that we are without pacifiers! Yay for us! One Friday night I just decided to try them without it, and we haven't gone back.

2) Emily currently has her first case of strep throat. She has been very sick and hopefully will be feeling better very soon.

Ok, 2 more things:

3) William has to have minor surgery to open his tear ducts. We were pretty sure it would need to be done, and we've been waiting on our appt to the opthamologist. He confirmed what we already thought, so hopefully here soon his little ducts will be wide open and his eyes won't always be so runny and gunky.

4) We are headed to see my dad tomorrow! I haven't been to my dad's house in ages, and Billy has never been, so hopefully we will have a nice ride and visit. We are going to WR tomorrow, spending the night, picking up my sister, and then headed to Watkinsville!

Hopefully I'll be back in the blogging mood soon! Happy Wednesday!
