A scare for mommy!

During a play date at our house I noticed Ricky was acting up. I grabbed him and he was on fire! My car a/c was out (great) so I grabbed the phone to call my mom. She wouldn't come so I called Elizabeth. She was on the way! I was terrified because Ricky has kidney reflux. Any fevers that are unexplained could be a UTI so he has to get a catheter. HELL on a baby and a mommy. I was a mess...crying and all upset. Thankfully he had an ear infection. We have been fighting the fever for two days and the meds make him throw up. The best bet so far seems to be putting the meds in his bottle. We will see. So thankful for a great friend.

Ricky needs glasses

Last week I noticed that Ricky's eyes seemed to be crossing. Not bad but enough to keep thinking about it. On Tuesday we had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Fierro so I decided to ask them about it. The nurse practitioner saw it right away. I called the eye Dr and they had a same day appointment. We went and after a LONG day we found out he is severely farsighted. Glasses have been ordered and we should see them next week!

I think he looks adorable! I hope that the glasses correct his eyes or surgery is the next step. ;-(

Playdate at Ethan and Elijah's house!

We had another fun playdate with our new friends!!! 4 moms and 8 babies....somehow we survived!!! Its great to hangout with a group of moms that have very similar days and nights. All of the babies are between 8 and 13 months old. Simply adorable!

That is only 5 of them....

So cute!!!

Rebecca brought us two little girls to play with this week!!! YAY!!

This week Angie, Ashley, Rebecca and myself had a few hours to hangout and watch the babies wear themselves out. ;-)

July 4th!!

Our first "real" July 4th!!! There was a ban on fireworks this year so unfortunatley the boys didn't get to see any but we still had tons of fun!!! The Tate's came over (Kristina, Josh and Nathaniel) and Louis for a BBQ. The girls and babies had a fun time in the house while the guys sweat their butts off outside being men. ;-)

We loved our food!!!

Our friend Nathaniel enjoying his FIRST cupcake!!!

The boys all had so much fun playing together! Mommy and Kristina had fun talking girl talk. I soooo love and miss adult conversation!

I see miracles everyday!

This week has been amazing for me. The boys turned one last Monday and it seems like they are growing up so fast. For the past year I have had a constant worry about my beautiful and sweet baby Ricky. He was in the hospital for a month past Reese, came home on oxygen and his brain bleed lasted longer. I have always know that he may have future delays so when he dose something....It feels like witnessing a miracle...every single time.

This week he learned to stand up and to cruise!! ALL IN LESS THAN A WEEK. Its like hes telling me "don't worry mom, I got this" in his own little way.

Reese started pointing at everything this week. We went for their one year checkup and the doctor asked if they point yet. I answered no. Reese then decides to pick up that beautiful little hand and point at daddy. Gotta love kids!
