These 3 little boys never cease to amaze me. Lately they have been talking up a storm. Unfortunately that means they have gotten quite bossy as well. There is a lot of "Hey! No, no!" and "Stop it!" going around, to each other and to Lue. Poor dog used to have such a peaceful life. On the up side they are communicating their needs more and more. Noah recently learned to say, "thirsties". For some reason he makes everything plural...perhaps because he's a multiple. :) A favorite of mine is "Peek-boo!" and "See you!" Most things are still just one word: cup, mama (usually yelled), daddy, Lue, doggy, and so many other words. They are starting to say each other's names more too. Aiden is still the name they struggle with. It's so much fun to watch them learning so much, so fast. I remember preparing myself for the fact that they would probably be behind in certain things. They most certainly are not. They actually talk a lot for their age. Our pediatrician has always been so amazed by them. I only wish learning things didn't also include them poking my eyes and saying "eye" or jabbing my belly and saying "baby". They haven't quite mastered the art of being gentle. They also seem to think that belly buttons are babies. :) We've been working on abc's and counting lately and they are really starting pick that up as well. They sing a little bit of their abc's and say 2 and 3 and occasionally another number.

This week is the last quiet week around here for a while. In the next 3 or 4 weeks I have my glucose tolerance test (a test to determine whether or not you have gestational diabetes), at least 1 dr. appt. for myself, Noah's allergist, Reese's pre-sugery physical, Reese's surgery and his follow-up appt. It will be busy for sure. I had to schedule an appointment with Noah's allergist because his asthma has been bad the last couple of weeks. They put him on a lose dose of medicine that we have to use in his nebulizer twice a day. He didn't mind the first couple of days, but hasn't been so thrilled to do it the past couple of days. I'm sure he'll get used to it being a part of his life.

Other than that we've just been not so patiently waiting for warmer weather. 3 little boys (and 1 mom) have bad cabin fever! They pull their little chairs up to the window and just look out. Hopefully soon we can actually be outside and not freeze or get wet and muddy. Hopefully...
