I haven't posted in soo long! The kids are keeping me so busy on top of student teaching. I finish that up on May 28th though and then starts the job hunt. Or at least that is when I start working on it harder!
Maddi is going to be 10 months old on the 24th. It doesn't seem like I will be planning her 1st birthday here in just a month or so! She is crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything, and cruising. She is pulling up on a couple of the little walker toys we have so I think she may start to use those soon. She will kinda push it forward a little, take a step or two, and then stand there for a minute or two before she does it again. I am not really sure if she will walk before her birthday but if I had to guess I would say maybe 11 months? She just doesn't seem very interested. She has added the words "that" and "stop" to her vocabulary. She loves to scream at Wyatt and he will scream back. That is their new (and not necessarily Mommy's favorite) form of communication. They are just so much fun and they are interacting more and more every day.
I am not sure if I posted or not, but we discovered that W is allergic to penicillian products a week or so after his birthday. He got this terrible, terrible rash and it was sooooo scary! I thought he had another ear infection today but it turns out that he has terrible ear wax build up so we have to put drops in every night and let them soak. That is going to be soooo difficult because I have no idea how we are going to get him to lay still. He also apparently has a viral infection and has been vomiting for the last few days. Ugh.. poor sick baby! He is such a smarty pants and is doing so many neat things. He knows all of his colors, numbers, letters, and shapes and can count to 10 and say his ABCs up to N on his own. He also recognizes his name when it is written. I may have mentioned this before but this is like my new baby book since his doesn't allow much information after 1 year except for birthday information. I think that is about all. I hear baby girl in her room muttering around like she has woken up. I had better go get her!

My babies are so big!
I get to looking at my two little boogers some days and I just can't believe how big they are getting! They are starting to play together very well; especially now that Miss M is crawling. W sometimes doesen't enjoy when she tries to take his toys, though. She seems much more interested in trucks, cars, and anything with wheels than she does her dolls and girly toys. This isn't what W expected, I think, because he is constantly bringing her some of her toys and she just doesn't have any interest. Poor guy just doesn't know what to do with her.
She is up to a few words: MumMum, Dada, and BubBub and she has been saying Hey! to get our attention. I can't wait to see W's face when she starts walking! I am sure that is going to be priceless! I really need to go somewhere with high speed so I can go back and add pictures to some of these posts!

SOOO busy lately!!
I feel so bad that I haven't been blogging lately! This is my record as I tend to forget to fill in the baby book and I have to reference my blog to try to keep up.
I didn't do a post for Maddi's 8 month. She is in a size 3 shoe, size 6-9 months clothing (and 12 months pants because those cloth diapers make her bottom half so fluffy!). Another great piece of information is that Maddi started crawling last Thursday (4-1-10)! It was so exciting because I could tell she was SO close and all of a sudden she just took off! She is still moving slowly and is a very cautious crawler. She is going further and further every day though.
Student teaching is going amazing, though. I have to say that I picked the right profession for me and I loooove this age group! 5th graders are so much fun!
So, just a short note on a few important pieces of information. I have to get going; lesson plans to write!

Lots Going on Around Here
We have been so absolutely busy around here lately!
First, W. The day before his birthday I had to take him to the doctor and he was diagnosed for a sinus infection. Enter Amoxicillian, which he as taken 2-3 other times with no problem. Well at about day 8, so the following saturday, I go to put him to bed and he has red bumps all over the place. Up his sides, around the top rim of his diaper, his armpits, his legs and arms. It was kind of scary but I thought, " looks like we are getting Chicken Pox out of the way early." So I call my mom and she agrees that she thinks it may be chicken pox. I then call the nurses line and they decided that they think it may be an amoxicillian rash and since he had been taking it but they generally aren't raised and these bumps were. She suggested we take him in to the urgent care the next day. It didn't open until noon so it wasn't a huge rush.
Fast forward to the next morning when Jeremy comes running into the bedroom and tells me to get dressed because we had to take him to the emergency room. His eyes were swollen shut, he was covered in what looked like welts and had started to throw up some bile. No fever or anything but we freaked to say the least. I throw some things together to keep him occupied and we head to the hospital. Jeremy stayed home to get someone to watch Miss M but it ended up that we were in and out pretty quickly. The doctors were pretty sure it was either an allergic reaction (to amoxicillian or something else) or some kind of virual thing that caused the rash but apparently treatment is the same for either one. We were given prescriptions for Azthromyicin (antibiotic), Prednizone (steroid), and children's Zyrtec. That was last Sunday and it took until yesterday before we had stopped debating taking him to Children's because the rash still hadn't gone away. I will post pictures, it was terrible.
Miss M: She hasn't had quite as much going on. She turned 8 months this past wednesday which deserves its own post but I am just so busy that I don't know if it will get one. I will try to put everything here. She is still in 6-9 month clothing, size 3 shoes, and sleeps all night with the occasion where we have to go in and give her her binkie in the middle of the night. She likes to stand at furniture if we put her there but she is not very interested in crawling. She is now getting up on hands and knees well and likes to rock but she has yet to go anywhere. She crosses her feet when she is on hands and knees so I have no idea what is going on with that. She is more of an observer than W was. She likes to watch things and figure them out. She is not quick to smile but when she does she will dazzle you. She has 4 teeth, all on bottom, and it doesn't look like we will have any on top any time soon. She also went to the doctor the Monday following W's birthday party and was diagnosed with an ear infection with one starting on the other side. She was also put on Amoxicillian with no problems.
Me: Well, soooo much.... I started student teaching this past Monday (good timing, huh? The morning after W's ER visit). It is going GREAT! I am in a 5th grade science classroom which is my ideal assignment. Anytime I had to write a lesson plan with no parameters it is always for 5th grade science. I also found out that she is retiring this year and no one has bid on the job from within. Sooooo, if I do a good job it is fairly likely I will be a shoo in for the job!!! They are keeping me hopping, and as always you have the students that require more of your energy than others, but I am having a blast!
The Hubby: Poor Hubbs doesn't have much going on. He is just working and keeping busy. He did just buy hardwood floors to put down in our living rooms so I am super pumped about that!!

Wyatt is now 2!!
Yesterday was Wyatt's birthday! holy cow! It is official - I have a 2 year old! It just does not seem like it has been 2 years since I had the little guy!
He is growing into such a little man. He is going through his "mine" phase right now- an offshoot of the "terrible twos" I am sure- but we are working through it and I think we will all come out ok on the other side. ;)
We had his party today. The theme was "Two Two train." I am going to try to add pictures in tethe next couple of days since this darn dial up takes forever to do it here! Some of the highlights were his Step 2 Kangaroo climber from Nana and Pappy and we got him a bicycle. He also got tons of matchbox cars that were a big hit!

Miss M- 7 Months
7 months! I know every one of these I say this but I just can't believe how quickly the time is moving! Right now M is around maybe 18 pounds and 28"? I am not really sure on those stats and won't be until the end of April when she goes for her 9 month appointment. I do know that she is about ready to transition to a size 3 shoe and is in 6-9 month clothes but can still wear some of her 3-6 month shirts and comfy, non-jean pants. She is in a size 3 disposable diaper but since she is no longer in disposables I would say that will be the last sizing we see there... She sleeps from around 9pm to around 8am and take 2-3 naps a day at about 1.5-2 hours each.
She still doesn't seem to have any interest in crawling but for the last week or so she will tuck her knees under her but her face is on the floor. If I put her on her hands and knees she can stay there sometimes but she just kind of lets her knees slide out from under her most of the time. She is jabbering like crazy and says "dada" "bub" and "mama." She has 4 teeth... all on the bottom. She still loves to watch her brother do EVERYTHING! She rarely takes her eyes off from him. She holds her own bottle now but I still enjoy holding her while she eats! It won't be much longer before she wants to go everywhere so I am taking advantage while I can!
She also likes to stand. She can stand at the couch or exersaucer until she gets excited and squirms too much and falls over. But, her little legs are so strong that she can stand holding on to your fingers forever.
Well, Wyatt's birthday party is this weekend. 2 years old! Oh my!

Made the switch...
So I finally gave in to many of my online mommy friends and switched from 'sposies to cloth! I am sooooo excited to get started if you can believe that. I got a great deal since one of before mentioned mommy friends runs an at home business with which she sells diapers and I got a percentage off for being a member of this mommy group. Awesomeness. My beginning stash of 12 Knickernappies with loopydo inserts came yesterday and as I speak, ahem, type, they are drying! I am going to start tomorrow! I will post a picture at some point tomorrow of Miss M in her too stinking cute diapers. Next purchase is some Baby legs and a couple of Applecheeks and Rump-a-rooz....
