Arm update

We went to the arm doctor today - the short cast is on! It is waterproof so swimming and showers are back on the agenda. There is a chance that the cast will come off in two weeks - which would be great since we will be taking our beach trip right after his next appointment. Mason is so excited to be able to bend his elbow again and to shower instead of taking a bath with his arm wrapped in duct tape and garbage bags!


This was Si this evening with his baby.

And Si sitting by the window doing his etch-a-sketch toy. I love when he sits by the window - so cute

Other appointment updates:
Mason's 13 year check up went fine - he's 55th percentile in weight, 70ish% in height. He had 2 shots which didn't make him very happy.

My dentist and ortho appointments also went just fine - we are getting very, very close to having these torture mechanisms taken off -a few more weeks.
We are shelling out a lot of $$ for healthcare this year!

Hey batter, batter!

Silas is obsessed with playing baseball these days...and watching it too. I laid him down for a nap on Monday and when I went up to check on him, he was no longer in his crib - he was in my room watching baseball on TV.

Here are a couple videos of him "pitching" with Uncle Tim on Memorial Day

I'm a slacker!

I've not posted in a whole WEEK! It has been a very crazy week - and I will go into much more detail sometime soon, but until then I will leave you with a video of Silas running around like a mad man before bedtime. He's like a wind up toy...I swear it has nothing to do with the 2 suckers he had shoved into his head at the same time. OR the candy necklace he was attacking while it was still around his sister's neck. He gets incredibly upset when we won't give him candy. Justin and I told him the other day: NO MORE JUNK. He sobbed and threw a fit while yelling, "me want junk, me want junk".
So here you go...the best thing out there with the writers' strike going on still!

Video - How Si goes down the stairs

Si (copying what he's seen his sister do) has decided walking down the stairs isn't quite fast enough.
