Recovery


Looks like our babies may finally have kicked the stomach flu. Lots of giggling today and everyone was in good spirits. The weather was beautiful too. Tonight after bathtime they were having a blast chasing each other around the dinning room table and laughing. Not sure if David and I have recovered from all the sleepless nights yet, but at least things are looking up.

We went to the doctor last Friday to check in and make sure everyone was ok. They ran a bunch of tests that came out fine as they were reluctant to give us more anti-nausea medicine without checking lest they miss something else. But it seems that it really was just a bad stomach bug that lasted almost two weeks. Both boys lost over a pound, that pushed Evan from 25 percentile in weight to down to 5 percentile. We worked on making up for lost time today - starting with breakfast, four slices of french toast and two bananas between the three.

Other news, Will has had a mini language explosion. He likes to point to things and is now saying that (dat), this (dis), dog (gog), cat (gat), light (ligh), baby, juice (jus), and imitates animal sounds like 'quack'.

Will's First Words

Will learned how to say 'uh oh' this week and 'no' (witnessed by Grandma G).

I've been a bit concerned about Will because Lily and Evan were saying words and he wasn't. Although he does 'talk' a lot, maybe we just don't understand him. Lily and Evan babble more, repeating syllables and the words they know while Will says things like 'Gr ba hu Trub!' with much emotion. I think many babies don't talk until they turn one, I don't mean to rush things. It's just hard not to compare the three.

Lily and Evan have been clapping for a while now and just this week started waving bye-bye. We have been practicing clapping with Will but he is still not that interested. He prefers to flap his arms up and down or play peek-a-boo with us.

Lily has started pointing - with her left thumb. It is pretty cute, she likes to point to the animals and 'gugs' in her books and give them kisses. We got our Halloween costumes in the mail last night, and they got kisses too.

Word Tally

Lily: dada, mama, duck, gug (bug), go

Evan: dada, mama, duck, hey baby, Evan

Will: dada, uh oh, no ('na' or 'na na' when i tell him or a sibling no no)
