15/365 Another doctor's appointment

I think we are keeping food on the doctors' tables this winter. Owen had appointment for a check up and Adam got to go with us since he didn't have preschool today. Our little peanut has finally made it to 20 pounds, actually 20.3! The doctor said Owen's ears look beautiful. That's really good news. He's behind on his immunizations due to having so many ear infections so he got three shots today (MMR, Varicella, and Prevnar). We'll go back in a month for his 15 month shots. He was not a happy camper, but who can blame him? Adam had to leave the room for Owen's shots. He said, "mommy, I need to leave the room...it's just too loud". The doctor is also referring us to Shriner's for an evaluation. Owen is still not walking, but is cruising around everything and seems really close. We've noticed that he turns his feet out when he walks and the doctor thinks we would rather be safe than sorry so we will have a specialist take a look. Just cell phone pictures today.

13/365 Pain in the...

As of last night I can add *kidney stone* to my list of issues this winter. It joins:
4 rounds of strep for me
1 round of strep for Claire
1 round of step for Adam
pink eye for me
pink eye for Shawn
4 ear infections for Owen
starting high blood pressure medicine for me
Sheesh! Thank the good Lord we have insurance! So after a trip to the ER last night and visiting the urologist this morning, the plan is to wait it out and hope I pass the stone on my own. If I'm unsucessful in 3 weeks I'll go back to the urologist and plan surgery. Wish me luck!

12/365 Claire can tie her shoes!

Who says snow days are nonproductive? She was so proud of herself! A big shout out to Nana, who had the patience to teach her. It takes a village, right?

11/365 The hairstylist

Another snow day for Claire, but Adam's preschool was on. It's a good thing he wasn't here to see Claire making their horse all girly! I'm pretty sure he would not have approved. Looks like the tongue sticking out in concentration may run in the family here.

10/365 Church

Owen, all bundled up in his new Christmas clothes for Church today!

9/365 Sweet Victory!

Now if this baby doesn't deserve "more" m&m's, well...I don't know who does! Now I can stop boring y'all to death with my attempts to capture the perfect picture of Owen signing "more"! :)

And a bonus...playing around with my mamas good camera. Look at those baby blues!
