So Much Has Taken Place

Here is a quick update. I know I have not been very good about this!

• Ms. Madisyn has cut 2 tooth, not big, but through the gums. She has also with the cutting of the teeth developed a bilateral ear infection. We will finish first round of antibiotics Wednesday. She has begun officially crawling. She is very fast at it and you have to keep your eyes on her at all times. She also thinks she has to do everything her big sister does and hence she has begun pulling herself up on EVERYTHING. She is even able to walk around coffee table and along the couch. She loves to play with any toy that her sister has. We have had to pull her off solid foods and I am starting over with 1 food per week until we figure out what is causing this constipation issue. Right now we know rice cereal is okay, applesauce is okay, and we are trying bananas again. She has an UGI on Wednesday to make sure anatomy is correct. She turned 7 months on Friday, I can't believe it. Time flies.
  
• Ms. McKenzie is busily growing too. She is excelling in school although she is bummed that Ms. Wanda her old teacher is not here anymore. She has a new teacher, Ms. Tracy, who seems really nice. She had a lot of fun around Thanksgiving making fun crafts involving turkeys and feathers, etc. She constantly is expanding her vocabulary and sometimes sounds WAY to big for 3. She is one month away from turning four, which seems completely foreign to me.
• Joe and I just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend. Wow. That just seems like yesterday. Joe is doing wonderful at cutting weight and has developed a new zest for losing it. He even went to the gym on his own over the holiday weekend. He has 6% body fat left to lose. He has lost 7 % since we got here in March. I had an MRI and EMG this past week for my back. I see the Ortho doc tomorrow to review results and determine treatment plan. We are praying for the best, hopefully an epidural steriod injection since it worked so well last time.

Well I better run. Madisyn is getting fussy...hopefully she will take a nap longer than 45 minutes this time. Love you all!
