October 6, 2013

Nora: Is now almost 2 months old I can't believe how quickly time has gone. I've had to pack up the 0-3 month clothing. My little lady is growing she's a juicy little thing. After seeing a dermatologist who didn't know what was wrong with her forehead, and having him recommend using cortizone for 2 weeks, and then meet back. His next step was going to be a biopsy which would tell him exactly what it was, but would leave a permanent scar. I was scared....not so much of the scar, but nervous that she may have cancer. It didn't go away in 2 weeks. We were referred to a specialist in Oakland who tested the flaky skin & found out it was a FUNGUS. I was so relieved. I just bought a new stroller, and a new swing. She is starting to giggle, and big huge smiles with lots of cooing.

Josh: is a little handsome love. He has been a bit of a pincher. I tried something a friend taught me we called it the "pinching cure." He tells strangers about it...that's a little embarrassing. He has the cutest voice it's kind of high pitched when he says some things like I'm sorry, or pinching cure...and he talks fast. Other times his voice is deep when he calls for me in the morning MOM. It's halloween time, and he loves looking at the neighbors yard decorations. One neighbor has a witch, & he screams when he get past their house. As the weather has changed from summer to fall. He has not liked wearing jackets, pants, or long sleeves. However, this behavior seems to have trickled over into all clothes. He screams pulls and tugs at the clothes. I could swear the clothing is hurting him if I didn't know better. He also wants his diaper off as well. He wants no clothes. He likes the socks, but does not want them with the shoes. He is a funny duckling. I love when he tells me he's showerin. He calls himself Joshie. He loves the kings & tells everyone he's going to the kings game.

Addie: has improved so much at soccer. She loves scoring goals, and has really started to enjoy playing. She has started asking me when she can do ballet again. She has a funny game at school that she's been playing called cats... she will hiss at everyone & her his is kind of angry, but hilarious. She continues to love going to school. She talks a lot about this bully girl. Continues to want to be friends with Laney (who doesn't seem to want to be her friend/ not in a mean way I think she just likes to play with the boys), but Addie says she wants to play with her because she's really cute. She loves having playdates, and asks for more of them always even right after we've had one.

Tim: is doing fantastic at work. He decided not to do the position as a FA. But we still have an option to move to Texas. We are up down & all around about that decision. He plays basketball every once in a while, meets his brothers for board games when he has time, & loves making to a kings game took Addie & Josh at the same time by himself tonight.

Nicole: trying to keep the baby fed, house clean enough for showing to potential buyers, and balancing being team mom for addie's soccer, and my calling as Sunday school teacher. I love my calling. I just hope to continually have more time to prepare. I'm also not super creative, & there is all new curriculum so I need to be more innovative.
