The Phillips Family: Lots of stuff going on!

It is time for a much needed blog update. Recently we are getting over some sickness in our home. Both boys had an ear infection and colds on top of all that. Landon was diagnosed with a mild case of pink eye yesterday. I went to get him from bed yesterday morning and his eye was halfway shut with eye crustys. I called the pedi and she told me to bring him in because he is so young. She said pink eye can lead into an ear infection. When the Dr. saw him she said she saw a little pink, but to be on the safe side to give him eye drops. Looking at Landon, you can't even tell he is sick. He is filled with laughs and smiles.

This past weekend we celebrated Christmas at Jeremy's grandparents house in Vevey, IN. The boys received GIANT teddy bears. They LOVED them. Here they are with their teddys.

Jalen and Landon are REALLY wanting to crawl still. They are still doing the army crawl or pushing up with both arms straight, but not getting the legs where they need to bed. Landon loves to spin on his belly and scoot around the floor. He is SUPER fast too when he does this. He can manage to move across the living room by wiggling his body and kicking off of his legs. I think the reason why Landon weighs less is because he is ALWAYS moving around.

The boys have also been trying new foods. Both are not fans of their green veggies, but like most moms, I make them eat it. :-) Jalen will eat it, but Landon makes "ick" sounds and gags. Both are wanting to be independent when it comes to eating. Jalen would rather feed himself with the spoon and always tries to take it away from me. Now I can just hand Landon the bottle and he takes it from me and can feed himself. This all makes me sad because they don't need my full attention to feed them anymore. I enjoy holding them and I still will! :-)

Jalen and Landon are both loving to make new noises. I wonder if Landon is going to be bilingual because he likes to roll his R's. It makes me laugh each time when he does this. Jalen is constantly making the "mmmm" and "maaaahm" noises. He also loves hearing himself squeal. Especially when it's time for bed.

Now to talk about Jordan! He lost his first tooth tonight! After 10 minutes of tugging and pulling we got it out. His adult tooth was coming in, so we knew his baby tooth needed to come out. Jordan is so excited and feels one of the luckiest kids on earth. He is excited he gets a visit from the Tooth Fairy and Santa in the same week. You can see in the picture the adult tooth coming in.

Here are some more pics to enjoy. :-)
