Tytan's 6 month shots

So we went in for Tytan's 6 month shots - at 7 months old =) And he did GREAT!!!! I was so impressed! The doc asked if there were any concerns that I had and I let her know that I wanted my perfect baby back - all this crying and not sleeping was just not working out for either of us! =) She looked him over and he is perfect =) HOORAH!!! His latest stats are...
Height: 26.5 inches
Weight: 16.7 lbs
He did so great with the shots - didn't even cry - what a tough guy huh?!?!? The chick came in and started giving him the oral stuff and when that was done I started telling Tytan that it was gonna hurt just a little but it was ok - and in the middle of my pep talk the shots were done - this girl was SO good and fast!!! LOVED HER!!! Tytan whimpered just a minute and then was fine!! I was so impressed!!! =)
I was so sad about his weight - I thought he was around 18 pounds and was getting so dang close to the 20lb limit so I can turn him around in the car seat - guess we'll have to wait for a while...or I might just have to turn him around anyway so that rides in the car can be more peaceful =)
He is still such a fun baby - obviously his teeth hurt so he cries and fusses a LOT and doesn't sleep like he used to - naps are like 30 minutes rather than 2-3 hours and he's up 3 or 4 times a night...sure do miss the 7 hour stretches =) Oh well - hopefully his teeth will come in quickly and we can move on from all this craziness!! His first little front bottom tooth is so cute!! When he smiles it totally shows, love it! And he cut the one right next to it the other day - him and Q cut the same teeth first - good times!!! He is a really good eater - whatever you put in front of him he pretty much downs and wants more - it's fun!! LOVE HIM!!!
Q was pretty concerned about his bandaids =)

Kiddos playing piano

The other morning Q wanted to play the piano and I thought Tytan would love sitting by her and playing so I sat him in his chair and they played and it was pretty dang cute...then when I wasn't looking Tytan grabbed the cover and dropped it right on Q's hand - I think it scared her more than anything but she freaked out for a bit and then piano time was over. They sure were having a good time for a little bit though =

Sitting in the cart like a Big Boy

So Tytan sat in the cart at walmart like a big boy the other day, it was pretty entertaining to watch him :)

CRAZY HAIR

I took Q's pony out the other night and this is what her hair looked like afterward...I found it pretty entertaining...pretty sure she will deal with this "fun" hair the rest of her life!!! =) Sorry sweet pea! =) Isn't she a doll though =)

No More Appendix for Brandon

So last Sunday B got a flight and his stomach started hurting but he just figured he had eaten too fast...but then pain didn't go away. So he goes to work on Monday then comes home around noon and said his stomach was hurting pretty bad and that he was going to lay down for a little bit and would pry need to go see the Dr. - i was kinda like WHAT??? Ya B NEVER stays home from work cuz he's sick and he NEVER EVER goes to the Dr. so I figured something was really wrong for him to say he would pry need to see the o'l Dr. So after laying on the couch the rest of the day he decides to go to urgent care right before they close. They took a look at him for about 10 seconds and told him he needed to go to the E.R. So B calls and tells me he is headed there so I call Allison and Lilly comes to watch the kids for a bit (thank HEAVENS for great neighbors huh?!?!?!) At the E.R. they do some blood work and it all comes back fine then they do a scan and his appendix is obviously the problem...so they schedule surgery for the next morning at 6am. I went home so Lilly could go back home and called ShaDean to see if she could stay the night with the kids so I could stay with B. She was more than willing (hoorah for great babysitters) so around 545 they come to get B to prep him for surgery but then they get a call and someone from the E.R. had to be rushed into surgery so B's got pushed back...which worked out cuz that gave us time to call our home teacher and Craner to give B a blessing (funny how things work out huh??) SO grateful for the priesthood!!! So Oz comes up (so grateful for an amazing sister and family) to take on the kiddos so ShaDean could go home and I could stay with B - who knew juggling kids could be such craziness =) So we were waiting in the pre-op room and B says he overheard someone say that Chance was working that day...but the nurse the night before said Chance wasn't going to be working the next day - so I text him and like 5 seconds later he walks in and is looking at the board and then looks around and sees us waiting in the room...so he comes in and tells us that he is just the floater for the day but he'll make sure we get a good anesthesiologist...then comes back all dressed for surgery and says that our guy looked tired so he is taking it for him =) SO grateful that everything seemed to just kinda go into place and SO grateful that Chance was able to be there and make us feel more comfortable and whatnot!! So B goes in and then everything is done in like 45 minutes...and then he was good to go home after surgery...if he could stay awake they would have sent him home right away but it took FOREVER for that stuff to wear off...it was pretty funny, the nurse would come in and start talking to B and he would fall back asleep in the middle of the convo - the nurse would just look at me and I would smile - good times!!! So after a few hours we came home and Oz was there with the kids and everything went smooth. What a blessing that everything happened so quick and that there were no complications!!! B had his follow-up appointment today and everything looks great!!!

Matching Earrings

So Q HAS to have things matching...shoes have to match the outfit and bow has to match too - pretty sure I am to blame for this obsessiveness =) Anyhoo - the other night she surely had matching earrings for her jammies...at that point I realized we may be taking the matching situation a little too far! =) But she sure did look adorable with her froggy earrings and her froggy jammies!! =)
