Disney Pictures

Our great friends, the Foster's, just started planning their trip to Disney and it reminded me that I had not shared our pics from Disney that were taken at the parks. These are photos that we had the park photographers take and then you can buy them later...Disney Photo Pass. I would HIGHLY recommend it! It allows everybody to be in the pictures and you don't have to worry about whether the random person you gave your camera to can actually use it. :)

Dancing Jack

Jackson is quite the dancing baby! Anytime he hears music he just starts bouncing. Joe had the Pandora app on his blackberry and turned it on while we were cooking out Saturday night. Jack loves the blackberry and even more so when the music is on...he carries it around like it is his own little boombox!

Sunny Day & Popcicles

It was a beautiful day yesterday! After dealing with a busted water heater in the morning, I took the boys outside after their naps. joey loves flying his RC airplane in the yard and Jack likes sidewalk chalk and exploring...he has NO fear! The best is when he follows Joey around like a little duck! And in our house, you can't go out to play and not have a popcicle! This was the first time Jack has had complete control of the popcicle and as you can see by the pictures, he was wearing half of it in the end. He was so upset when the last part fell off the stick (you can see it in the grass where he is looking back). I look forward to many more days like yesterday!

Quote of the Day

Joey to Joe (short version)...
Joey: "Your a bad daddy!"
Joe: "Why am I a bad daddy?"
Joey: "Because you left my cookies out on the counter and they got hard as a rock."
Joe: "Well, bud, sometimes we forgive people."
Joey: "Sometimes we don't."

Asthma...

For a while, we have thought that Joey was going to be an "allergy" kid. He showed many signs during his short life, but the big sign for us was how he literally coughed from September until December last fall. And of course, the minute that the weather took a turn for the better here, the cough returned. With some help from our favortie Nurse Practioner (Anna "Roof"), I took Joey to see the allergist in our practice today. The good news is that he does not have any definative allergies. The bad news is that he does have sensitive or restricted airways that get inflamed when he gets sick and cause such a lingering cough. Some Dr.'s do classify it as asthma and some, because it is a type of asthma that should go away on its own by the time he turns 6, won't actually call it asthma. None the less, it so very encouraging to find out all of these things today and know that there is a course of treatment (flo-vent inhaler 2x/day) to keep my baby from coughing his head off when he gets sick.
