Seriously Brother!

So you don't think I check the blog too? Keep this up and I'll sit on you WAY more and anyway you are one to talk shrunken head.

Now that that's out of the way, I wanted to give you the offical offical diagnosis. My VNA, (aka. traveling nurse) came to check on me today, and my charts said I have bronchiolitis and pneumonia in my right lung. Everythings going well, I'm on the mend. I get to watch a lot more TV which I LOVE, and it's Scobby Doo all day (I love it). I build houses and do puzzles too, but I try to get mom to put on the Scobbs as much as possible.

My nurse will be back on Friday! So I'll keep you posted.

my 9 month check-up!

So today I'm 22 lbs 2 oz in the 60th percentile, and 29 1/2 inches tall. Also my head is catching up with my body, I did have a 20th percentile head circumference at one time, now I'm up to 40th percentile. What good head growth. I'm doing great, eating whole cereal bars my sick brother is leaving around. I squeal a lot and it sometimes sounds like a small dog. I love to dance/bounce to any beats. If you want my chubby brothers 9 month stats: 29 inches long and 24 lbs. 11oz....he was a tank.

If you want the details of my sick brother: he was having a a hard time breathing Saturday afternoon, sucking hard to get a breath and lots of breaths per minute. He went to the ER with Dad after the Dr told them to go. He got a chest x-ray and they kept him over night to keep an eye on him. He hates Dr's and cried a lot even for blood pressure and temp measures. (He's still sour about his stitches experience.) But he came home Saturday afternoon with a diagnosis of pneumonia, and 4 prescriptions. 2 to inhale in his nebulizer and 2 oral ones. He doesn't really like the steam too much but he's getting used to it. It's every 4 hours. We went to the Dr today to get him checked out again, and he has a lot of conjustion in his lungs, so we have to go back in 7 to 10 days to be checked to see if it has cleared.
Adley is 32 lbs now, if you wanted to know how big he is, he won't let anyone measure his height....so that's a mystry. :)

Well time for me to take a snooze while brother hooks up to his Nebuizer for 10 min.

Love you,
Nathanael

New Video!

Check it out!

We've been busy with lots of fun playdates lately. Since we were sick the week before and didn't do anything, mom went a bit overboard. And we went grocery shopping on Friday, and they didn't have the cart where both Nathanael and I can sit, so I helped mom with groceries, grabbing all kinds of yummy food for me (big blocks of cheese,) and Nathanael (about 11 jars of baby food and baby crackers.) In the fruit isle, I wanted to taste everything....

Well we had a great weekend!

Check us out soon!

Adley

TEETH!

I got em' check out my 2 new ones:
I've got 2 on the bottom, and two on top, but not the front too, my right front and the one more right of that one. (If you want the Adley comparison Adley cut his top tooth at 11 months when mom weaned him, I'm bit of a biter I should let up if I want mom to breast feed me more.) Also this picture pretty much sums up how I smile for the camera, whenever it comes out I put on my hammiest of faces. Also I had watermelon for the first time, here's a couple photos.

I'm a busy guy, I crawl back and forth from the kitchen to the living room pretty fast. I also love the bathroom. I pull up on EVERYTHING, I love to be standing, whenever mom puts me in my crib I climb up to standing, so it's hard to put me to sleep unless I'm really tired or mom puts me down in the pack'n'play. There's no way for me to stand up in that.
I love to eat food I feed myself, I don't eat well when it's spoon fed, no fun, no mess.

Adley loves to make puzzles, he got a 48 piece puzzle 2 ft by 3 ft, and he asks mom to make it all the time so he makes it 3 times a dayish. Mom just puts groups of 4 or 5 for him to assemble on his own, and he impresses her with the ones he does all on his own. He's a quality time kid of kid, he loves to have mom on the floor playing anything with him. He also enjoys the Cars paper racetrack that came with the book, he races his cars on it. He also enjoys playing Sorry with mom, a no-rules kind of game, in which Adley ends up with all the pieces at the end on his side of the board.

Well I guess that's what I've got to update!

Adley went sledding with the neighbors this morning while I napped, I never have any fun. Mom did take the 2 of us out sledding last week, I liked it. All 3 of us down the hill together in a sled, and mom pulled Adley up the hill with me in mom's arms. She's strong and a little crazy. :)

Time for lunch!!

New Photo's

Just added to the last album, (see below).
Also I have the hugest ham smile ever,

My brother and I play so good together. I crawl into his big Thomas tent (oh I should have posted that picture) and we laugh and squeal. Of course sometimes brother wants to pick me up or drag me somewhere else but mom is always pretty quick to stop him.

I crawl everywhere, I'm pulling myself up on occasion. I'm psyked to be running around........ mom's not ready for me!!!!

Nathanael
