Back in a Routine

Syd started 2nd grade last week and absolutely loves it!  Of course she only went 3 1/2 days, but I think she'll still love it even after 5 days.  She's in class with her best bud Teagan and her teacher is a lot of fun.  Can't get much better than that, until I start volunteering and then she'll have the coolest mom ever! 

Alex is doing great in the braces!  He stands most of the time and is starting to walk more along the furniture and behind his truck.  He thinks his shoes are the neatest things and is signing "shoes" and trying to say it also.  Comes out "oooooooz" but we know what he means :-)  We haven't measured him yet to see how tall he is but he seems huge!  Some day he's going to eat us out of the house!

Happy Day!!

We are FINALLY out of the casts and into braces!  He'll be in them 23/7 for 3 months and then we'll slowly cut down on the hours everyday.  Eventually he'll only wear them at night.  Alex seemed pretty unsure of them at first, but he's already crawling, flipping around on his knees and standing on his knees.  Pretty sure he'll be walking very soon!   He was very happy to get his casts off this morning!  The incision sites aren't even visable but for a tiny bruise on one foot.  Now we get to finally take him swimming, even if it's only for half an hour.                            

Girls Weekend

Me, mom and Syd had a girls weekend in Denver and we had so much fun!  We're going to make it a yearly tradition to have just the girls do something before school starts.  We had great meals, lots of swimming, saw pretty butterflies and had a ton of giggles!
