Heather


Here we are...a few months behind on any posting, but busy as all get out. Heather has been walking since about January, and now she's begun to try it on the ball of her feet. It's cute, but so much more likely to have her trip. There is no stopping her though...she'll learn.


Like her brothers, Heather just had to have a trip to the ER, of course we were in Savannah, Georgia at the time as well. She had breathing problems, and fortunately they have gone now that the treatments are over. Daddy said she was an angel the whole time, and didn't get upset until the second treatment. All this happening around midnight, and she wouldn't sleep until they were in the van again. We were very blessed despite the trip to the ER. Also finding out unofficially that she is 18 pounds, and also tall enough to climb the stairs.


All of the children were very well behaved before, during, and after the wedding, even in the Florida heat, a bit of rain, and complete destruction of their schedule. I'm crossing my fingers that they will be as good at the future family weddings in the next couple years, as they were that whole week. Not to mention cute...picture to, hopefully, follow soon. : )

John


Now, John has been walking for a couple months, and he's been getting better and better at it. It was really funny when it began because he would hold his arms in the air, like someone was there to catch him, and he feet were so far apart, he looked like a true toddler. Now, he's so good, he can run and hide when he gets in trouble...which he does frequently.


John was the one to kick off the breathing difficulties, and he's holding true. He has begun a series of maintenance treatments, because the regular treatments would only work for so long. We're hoping and preying that it will help, and eventually be able to stop all treatments, but then there is reality as well. : )


Like our sister and brother, we have a mouth almost full of teeth, but I think John has the most at the moment. Since the doctor isn't far off, we have the unofficial weight at about 20 pounds, and tall enough to climb the stairs. Oh fun. : ) But the easy part is Mommy no longer has to carriy everyone to bed. : )

William


As some may know, William is walking, and doing it very well. Although, now that we can see him standing alone, we see he might have flat feet. Surprise, surprise. : ) We also have found that his breathing difficulties are to a point where we need maintenance treatments, but he doesn't complain...he gets to sit on Mommy or Daddy's lap.


We get to the doctors soon, but the unofficial weight is over 22 pounds, and tall enough to climb the stairs himself...yay for Mommy. : )


We are doing well, survived our trip to Florida for a family wedding, and looking forward to Daddy having time off this summer. Love to all.
