...when you're having fun!

My, how time flies...

We've all come down with some sort of cold the last few weeks, and it's E's turn. His poor little almost 4 month old body couldn't fight this particular stomach bug! He is so grumpy and only wants me to hold him. Now I'm okay with being his favorite, but I have never felt so bad in my life to go to the bathroom! I hope his little tummy turns up soon...

O is having a language boom. He has been learning new words daily now for awhile, but he's really trying to say them correctly now. Ball has always come out "ba-o" and he is now trying to put an ending sound on it, "ba-o-ch" A friend hit the nail on the head when she said he sounds like a little jewish baby. He's putting words together to make mini sentances, although most of them contain the words NO or NOT, and still flinging signs in the middle. Our pediatrician said as long as he's getting the point across, he's fine- Well he is definately communicating!! He is also doing great with his modified EC/ potty learning. We didn't start until he was 18 months so I don't know if it's really EC, but we go off cues and timers so it's not really "potty training." I hate that phrase, but that's a whole different post.. LOL He is in underwear during the day, and we recently bought some plastic pants to go over the underwear so we can start taking him out in public in underwear. He still has a little fear of the big potty, but he'll get there in his own time!

The ball has began rolling for B joining the Navy. The Marine Corps unit has accepted his application to change services, and now we are waiting for a General to sign the paperwork. From the date of that signature we have 45 days to accept Navy orders. Although we don't know when that paper will be signed, we are starting to feel the crunch. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, now if we just knew how long the tunnel is...

I am having a huge case of cabin fever!! I'm sooo ready for nice weather, less clothing, playing outdoors, BBQ's, longer walks, parks, beaches, 3 of 4 birthdays, and lots of new babies (thanks to my friends!) I can't wait to take E to the beach for the first time, O to get to swim everyday, and our poor dogs to get to stay out longer than a few minutes to potty!

Bring on the Navy, well baby, potty learning, and nice weather!! We're ready for it!
