Time Flies...

Wow! It's hard to believe that this year is just flying by. It's already mid-June! Deren is 6 months old. Devin is 8, and getting ready to start 3rd grade. Does that mean I'm getting old? (actually, I did just turn 38!)

Deren is now crawling and sitting up on his own. He doesn't always manage to stay up for long...I say he has "roly poly butt". He's very vocal; "talks" all the time. He loves the bath. And the boy loves to eat. We have moved onto the 2nd foods - and he eats 2 jars at lunch and at dinner. Then he tops those off with a bottle. He goes in for his 6 month visit next Tuesday.

Devin is enjoying her summer vacation. She's been to the pool, to the library and to the golf course. She is currently working her way through the Ramona books (she only has 1 to go!) Eric took her to see The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. She enjoyed that, too.

Eric spends his days reading and watching TV. He also plays softball 3 nights a week.

Me...I'm working. (ccf)

Deren...what a big boy!

So, this has been a month of firsts for Deren....



Had his first ear infection treated with his first antibiotic (amoxicillin...yum). His pediatrician also decided that the 10 weeks of congestion might actually be reflux. He started ranitidine and albuterol breathing treatments...oh what a difference. (that's when he started sleeping through the night - 7.5 to 8 hours!) He discovered that he likes to sleep on his tummy (and will flip over even in his sleep). He tried cereal and strained foods. So far, we've worked through squash, carrots, sweet potatoes (see picture below - loves, loves, loves the sweet potatoes!!!!), green peas, pears and bananas. He developed an ear infection in the other ear and was treated with a stronger antibiotic (cefdinir...not so yum). On the 22nd, he began "reaching" for people. He can hold his own bottle. And he can roll or "inchworm" himself anywhere on the floor... Time is flying by for our little man. And he is the biggest flirt!!! (ccf)
