We've been busy with all sorts of fun stuff. I guess not really "fun" stuff....but stuff. We're looking to buy a home here in Casper, so we've spent plenty of nights out looking at what's on the market. It's exciting and scary and overwhelming all at the same time.
We took a trip to Denver this past weekend for some doctor's appointments at the Children's Hospital. We met with Clover's endocrinologist, ENT, pulmonologist, a sleep doctor, had some x-rays done and some blood labs drawn. Clover is doing very well, but she is still struggling with her sleep apnea. Her last sleep study which was done back in June showed that she quite breathing 14 times an hour. Ugh. I tell ya, there is nothing worse than watching your little baby sleep and then see them stop breathing. She is on supplemental oxygen at night and during naps and we have started her on a few different medications to try to strengthen her lungs and get her breathing better. She also has reflux so we are trying to get a handle on that.
Her tone has improved dramatically over the past few months. She can hold her head up like a champ and she just learned how to sit by herself. She still won't bear any weight on her arms or legs, so we are still working on that. I'm not sure if she physically can't or she just doesn't like to....probably a combination of both.
She is smiley and goofy and makes us laugh every day.
Henry is cute and sweet and doing all sorts of fun stuff. He is walking, he loves to dance and sing and his latest thing is to answer the question, "what does a cow say?" He does the cutest little "mooo." He is currently teething on both sides of his mouth, top and bottom. He has a huge eruption cyst on the top of his gums and if it doesn't drain on its own pretty soon, we will have to take him to a pediatric dentist and have it done surgically. Poor kiddo....he is pretty miserable, but still manages to smile and be a sweetie pie. He will be one in a couple weeks which makes me very sad. He is the little baby of the family and he is growing up way too fast.
Curtis and I are doing pretty well. Curtis stays busy at work and I stay busy at home. Most nights we are so dang tired we just have to laugh....otherwise we might cry. :)
I am really looking forward to celebrating the holidays this year with the kiddos. I love this time of year and it is exciting to think about starting new traditions with our little family.
So, there you have it....the "short" version of our life lately. We are happy, healthy and busy.
