Callie's 8 month well baby visit

Callie had her 8 month check- up today.. she is growing very fast on me...lol
She got a shot(prevnar) and the oral vaccine for rotavirus. Plus she got her finger pricked for an iron check... All is well! She grew and inch and gained almost a pound. She now weighs 16lbs. 8 oz.. yep she is a daity lil flower just like her Aunts on her daddy's side. However she has got her big brother and Momma's noggin.. its nice and round and big!!! She doesn't have to go back until she is a year old. I know how that will work, though. She will get sick inbetween now and then..(I pray not)

Carter.....

Well what is new with him... he has many A.K.A.'s... JJ Pruit.... Car~turd.... Tarter Sauce.... my baby boy.. Mr.C...Hoodrow(because he has to wear his hoodie up all the time)... oh and Bubbie.
He is in pre~school 5 days a week from 8.35 -11.00!! The school is at Owen's elementray school. He loves going there. The program is called pre-K counts and is funded by the state! He has a vivid imagination. He love dinosaurs and aggervating Owen. He is a whiner & has a major 3 yr. old attitude problem ! He loves to snuggle and tell me that I am his favorite mommy! To that I reply that he is my favorite Carter. He also has a little sister who adores him to no end!! She will attach him with kisses!

Owen's thumb

So about 2.5 weeks ago Owen stabbed himself in the thumb with a saftey pin. A couple days later he was complaining that his thumb hurt really bad.. well I told him that he shouldnt have stabbed himself. Well a day later(Monday the 4th) the school nurse called me to tell me that Owen's thumb was really infected and that the infection was traveling up his arm. I took him to the Dr. that afternoon and I guess if I would have waited another day(which I planned on because he had a scheduled Dr. appointment on Tues.) he would have been put in the hospital. The Dr. put him on 2 antibiotics... 1 was for more resistant strans of bacteria. The blue marks in the photos are from where the Dr. "mapped" out his infection lines... I guess God sends angels in all forms..In this case it was Mrs. Grieve the school nurse!!

callie is growing to fast...

Tomorrow my baby girl turns 8 mths old.. It is hard for me to believe. She is a very busy lil girl, just like her big brother Owen. She is crawling like an ol' pro, pulling herself up to furniture, and learning how to do the furniture cruise. Yesterday I found her on a step. So add that to her list of new accomplishments. She still doesnt have any teeth. I cant wait until she gets her 1st one.
