Not much new

Things have been pretty normal around here... nothing new to report.... well... except Nate has been pooping like a champ today, however his butt is red again. Hopefully things will finally clear up and his but will be back to normal. We are both so excited about Christmas... though we have no idea what is coming, we can just feel the magic in the air... well we would if we went outside, but its been cold and yucky and Mommy doesn't do cold and yucky. Really we just wanted to post some pictures Mommy took of us the other day.. since she hasn't posted recent pictures in a while. We are going to have a busy week next week, lots of people to see, things to eat, gifts to open, toys to ignore so we can play with tissue paper and boxes, you know the drill. Enjoy the pictures and Happy Friday everyone!!!

Alex is all smiles

Nate sitting in the tube all packed up

Just because its closed doesn't mean I can't play with it still!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!!!!!!

So we know we haven't posted since Thanksgiving... but it's only been a week and we are busy little boys.... granted we have just been playing and napping.... it's hard work being this cute :) Things haven't been all roses anyways. We both have small colds.... we know who we got them from.... and they know who they are too, luckily right now its just a small cough and a runny nose... for now! Nate also has apparently been traumatized by his diaper rash. up until yesterday he was squeezing his butt and not wanting to poop for fear of what it was when he had a terrible butt rash a few weeks ago. The good news is since yesterday he has kept the poop coming continuously... the bad news..... he is starting to get a new ugly looking diaper rash... so its back in the bath tubs for long baking soda baths and tons of nystatin and butt paste. See... it is rough to be... 20 MONTHS TODAY!!!!!!!! Where is the time going?!?!? We will be 2 years old in 4 months! No big party this year for us, there is a lot going on this spring and Mommy and Daddy won't have the time to. Some of the things we can't talk about yet.. however there is one big thing that we are so excited to announce........





NO we are not going to be big brothers (Mommy has her hands full as is with the two of us) AUNT COURTNEY IS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to have a cousin! Don't know if it will be a boy or girl yet but we do know that there is only one! We are going to have so much fun teaching him/her all the tricks to being a baby... like throwing up right after you get clean clothes on, pooping right after a diaper change... waking up in the middle of the night for no reason what so ever.. .fun stuff like that.

Well we have to eat dinner and get ready for bed. Just had to spread the exciting news... and the not so good news as well.

Goings Ons

While we would like to say that both of us a fabulous weekend visiting Grandma and Grandpap while they were here.... Nate unfortunately can't say that. He has had the worlds worst diaper rash since Thursday or Friday. It got really bad over the weekend. Everyone was giving him baking soda baths and putting so much stuff on his butt. He didn't want to poop so he has been prolonging it from healing.

Today however Alex had an eye appointment to check on how his eye is doing post-surgery. Dr W was so excited with how well everything looks, however his right eye is still stronger than his left so on weekends Alex has to go back to getting drops put into his right eye to help strengthen up his left. While we were there we ran into Dr L (our pediatrician) who was taking her kids to see Dr W. She chatted with Mommy who went into detail about Nate's butt and Dr L suggested giving him prune stuff and some oil to help move things along and make him poop so everything could heal. Since then some poop has come out but Mommy is convinced that there will be more coming out soon.

Tomorrow we are off to Nana and Grandad's for Thanksgiving. We are going down ahead of Daddy so Mommy can visit with Uncle Stephen, and Great Uncles Greg and Chris and her cousins Megan and Rachel. Rachel is about our age and Megan is almost 4, so it should be fun to play with them. Plus tomorrow Aunt Courtney and Uncle Todd are stopping by for an over night visit before they go visit Uncle Todd's family. We hope they bring their dog Felix with them.

If we don't get to update before Thursday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Quick weekend recap

Just a quick weekend update. It was not a fun one. Even though G/G came to visit and play with us, Nate had a diaper rash that went from bad to worse to a yeast infection... ouchie! But Daddy and Grandma called Great Aunt Helen (Mommy went to a bachelorette party for the weekend for Miss Katie) and she told them what to do and its looking much better. Sunday morning Grandma and Daddy then decided that we needed to try eggs for the first time.... bad idea... turns out we are allgeric to eggs. Alex broke out worse than Nate, Daddy called the Drs office and was told to give us Benedryl. That helped a lot.

Mommy came home and everything has been fine since than. We have our 15 month appointment tomorrow so expect a big update tomorrow night or Wed. morning.
