It's truly amazing how wonderful life with children can be; it gets crazy having two, especiall close in age, but at this moment in time, I would not change it for anything!
~ Feb 2012 ~
Now in February, there weren't as many pictures taken as I would have liked but we did manage to remember to take a few! Richard got his 'Addisyn' tattoo on his left forearm in Feb & it turned out great! Great Grandma LaChapelle came from Oregon to play with her great-grandbabies & loved every minute of it - lots of visiting & catching up!
On Feb 24th, Aubree had ear tubes put into both ears - she had a constant ear infection for going on 3 months, with 4 different rounds of antibiotics! She was such a trooper! As the other kids were waking up from the anesthesia after their procedures were bawling - I was nervous to have Aubree seem to be in so much pain, not ready for it. Dr Beck came in first, told us that it was extremely infected & went over some go-home instructions with us. Then Aubree was carried in, still snoozing away. They said it would take some time for her to wake up & to expect the crying we heard from the other kids. Richard & I sat there for what seemed like forever (really only about 10 minutes) with our baby Aubree still sleeping. The nurses & Dr Beck came by to check on her a few time... no change, she was just enjoying this great nap! All of a sudden, a kid started crying again & Aubree sat up & said "baby?" I showed Aubree that her baby (Addisyn) was right here & ok; not crying. She seemed to relax & leaned against Richard's chest (he was sitting in the patient recovery chair with her). Rich & I looked at each other & he asked Aubree "you want your sippy..." She nodded & drank her entire sippy. We were so puzzled as to why she wasn't screaming but were not going to question why our child wasn't screaming! The day went on like nothing had happened! After 5 days of antibiotic ear drops, she was all recovered from her surgery!
~ March 1st - 10th ~
March started with some great weather! & when we have great weather, we better get outside! Playing on the playgrounds, taking walks & sliding on the slides!
Aubree has continued to go to daycare 1-2 times a week so see & get to play her friends & so we don't have to get her back into the routine of going to daycare! She absolutely loves it there!
