Tea Time with Paw Paw
Is there anything better than having a tea party on top of a sit n' spin with your PawPaw? I think not!! Kate loves her kitty cat hat--she wore it to bed that night, I think!

Alex at 13 months
Alex is finally back to being himself after the awful stomach bug he had last week! I thought I would try to make a list of all the words he is saying:
Papa
Bye-bye
Go
Dog
Burp
Ball
Up
Cu-cu (train)
Trudy
Cracker
Bubble
Hat
Turtle
Cat
Da da
Vroom(for car)
Duck
Yeah (with hands clapping)
Weee (going down slides or on the sit & spin)
Kate
More
Uh-oh
Cheese
Squirrel
Mmm
Pepper
Woo-woo
Can sign the words eat, more, hat & book.
Can make the animal sounds for a dog, cow, horse & monkey.
He loves to dance to music & is really into books now. He loves to point out any book that has a hat or ball in it. He loves to play with the car presents he got for his bday. Since the weather has been so nice we have been playing outside in the driveway in the afternoons. Alex loves to make baskets & kick the balls. He still loves to eat & crawl/climb into & onto everything! He is super sweet, always giving us hugs & sometimes kisses. He is a handful, but that's just our buddy!!
Afternoon snack
It's so neat that they can sit together and have their snack together! Alex has learned the word "UP" so everytime he climbs into the chair, he says "up." It's so cute! He has also learned the word football and nigh-nigh (what we say at night to go to sleep.)

Sick, but happy Alex
On Sunday night I headed to Dallas to visit my cousin Jenn & to help her with her 2 month old baby, Vivian. Mike's parents & Mike watched the kiddos while I was gone. Luckily for Jenn, Vivian is sleeping thur the night, but gosh I forgot how much work a new baby is!! Jenn is pumping & giving Vivian bottles with her milk, so I spent a lot of my time there washing bottles & pump stuff! It is so much work to do bottles & pump--I didn't realize how easy I had it with being able to breastfeeding both my babies!! To all you mamas out there that pump & then feed that to your baby in a bottle--my hands go up to you--it is so much work!!!
Anyhow, on Tuesday morning, Mike thought Alex felt a little warm, but he was acting ok & didn't really worry about it. Alex also had some diarrhea Monday morning (which Mike didn't tell me about). I got home Tuesday night just in time to put the kiddos to bed & the next morning Alex seemed fine to me. We took Kate to school, stopped by Target & then headed to Metro park for our playdate. Alex seemed fine there, except he wanted me to hold him for a while before we left, but I thought that was because he had missed me (silly me)! Anyhow, when we got home he sorta felt warm to me & had had some more diarrhea, he had already gone 2x that morning which I thought was a little weird, but I thought maybe he had eaten something weird/different during the time I was gone. He didn't seem as interested in his lunch as he usually is, but I thought he was just tired from playing at the park. He went down for his nap with no problem & woke up fine & ate his snack. We headed out to meet Mike's parents at Cheys & then Alex throws up all over Mike's Dad!! Yuck!!
We head home & I take Alex's temperature & it's like over 104! So I give him meds, rub him with a cold cloth & call the Dr. I get an appt in like an hour or so & go eat some dinner. Poor Alex, he just kept pointing at everyone's food & crying because he wanted some!!
His fever is quickly brought down by the meds & he is his happy self again when we head out to see the DR. The Dr. looks him over & decides it's a stomach virus, but does a blood test to make sure.
So all day Thursday he was running with fever over 102 & continued to have fever today until late afternoon. I think it is finally gone! His diarrhea has stopped & he didn't threw up at all today. It's really sad when you are happy to see a fever of 103, after his fever got as high as 105 yesterday!! My poor baby!
After his nap today he cried straight for almost an hour. I think his belly was really hurting him!! My poor baby!
So far no one else in the family has gotten it. We kept Kate home from preschool today just in case!
Here's to a fever free weekend!!

Kate's stats at 3
Height: 38 inches (75%)
Weight: 29 lbs (30%)
Dr Owens is worried about Kate's talking. Kate really isn't able to put sentences together on her own, or tell us stories. She thinks that we should have her tested at the local elementary school. I don't know if we will, I mean she started to talk really late so I just think she is still trying to catch up. Other than that, she thought Kate looked great!

Alex's stats at ONE
Length: 281/2 inches (15%)
Weight: 20 lbs 11 oz (20%)
Head: 46.5cm (55%)
Dr Owens was so impressed with Alex. She couldn't believe that he is saying so many words!! He is really ahead on talking. So different from Kate who didn't talk until she was almost 2. He got tested again for his IRON level and got 3 shots. He cried but did fine. She thinks he is very verbal and physically advanced! Go Alex!!
