Antibiotics makes me silly

Sorry for the lack of blogging, but we have been dealing with sick kiddos. Landon just got over a double ear infection a few weeks ago, but is in teething hell right now. Jalen just got his first double ear infection and has been my little cuddle bug the last couple of days. Today was the first day all week that he was himself. The pictures below proves how silly my boy is. He is like this all the time. He decided the dog's water bowl was a hat.

Jalen and Landon also had their visit to the dentist and they both came out happy with belly laughs. They did really well with the cleaning and loved the balloon they got afterwards.

We are looking foward to the spring weather to return! We want to have more play dates outside!

Spring weather

The last couple of days, we have had some beautiful weather. The other day got up to 68 degrees. I had been so nice not having to bundle up with winter coats and hats. The boys have been dying to play outside. My sister and I took the boys to the park the other day and had a BLAST! You can tell by the pictures below how much fun they had. Both boys wanted to slide down the bigger slides the whole time. They were in heaven. I am ready for the warm temps to stay, but unfortunately it still is winter and snow is in the forecast for next week. I can't wait for the outdoors to be our daily routine.

Here are some pictures from CC's. The boys attended a birthday party and had so much fun. They love riding the rides and playing the games. I am looking foward to the nice weather we are suppose to get in the next few days. I ready to take the boys to the park and play outside!

Right now we have two toddlers who are sick with the stomach bug. Jalen was not able to keep anything down and was making me worried. Thankfully he kept the gatorade down this morning. I felt so bad when he was begging for a drink since his belly was empty. I kept kept offering him a drink even though I knew it would all come back up. I just wanted to get something in his system. Landon has been fighting the flu from the bottom end. Those are not the greatest diapers to change. I hope my little guys are better tomorrow.

21 months

Wow! Time needs to slow down! How are my little munchkins 21 months old already? It is so hard to believe that we are just a few short months from entering the TERRIFIC twos! It is amazing how fast these boys are learning every day. Jalen and Landon are so smart and picking up on so many new things. It is true that kids pick up fast on their surroundings and they pay attention to everything that you do. We have had a HUGE word explosion going on in our home. They are both starting to talk more sentences and their vocab is over 100 words now.

Potty training is going pretty well. Jalen will go on the potty about 5x's a day and Landon is hit and miss. Jalen is also doing well on letting me know when he has to go when we are out of the house. I am so proud of my little boys! I have no idea how much they weigh now, but I can tell you they are growing! They eat like grown men sometimes. HAHA!

They love coloring, stickers, ring around the rosie, hide n go seek, itsy bitsy spider, and Mickey Mouse! They are also doing really well with their manners. Landon will say please, thank you, and you're welcome. That comes out more like "you whelca"

Landon goes back to the doctor on Monday to get his ears checked out. He had a double ear infection 3 weeks ago. Depending if the fluids are draining, will determine if he needs tubes.
Here are some pictures that I took tonight. Landon was sleepy and did not want part of picture time. Jalen was all over the place with smiles.

Love independent reading

Jalen and Landon love to be read to and just sit by themselves and read. There are times when I have seen them "read"to each other. There are a few books such as Brown Bear, Peek a Who, Mr. Brown Can Moo, and some others that they can recite. It is too cute. Landon's new obsession are bumble bees. He loves his Dr. Seuss books and laptop with all the bumble bees. He walks around the house going "Bzzzzz Bumblebee!" Here are a few pictures of my little guys reading.

Cabin fever

Last Monday night, Indianapolis got our first big ice storm in many years. Everything was one big ice rink. There were kids ice skaing on our streets. We were all stuck inside for 3 days, however on that 4th day, we just had to get out! I took the kids to the Childrens Museum to burn off some energy. The main roads were pretty clear, but the side roads were still a mess. Is it Spring time yet?

We also had a word explosion the last couple of days. They are both speaking more in complete sentences too!

Here is Jalen eating his cranrasins out of his drum. Mmmmm
Landon likes to hide in the fridge and stove in his play kitchen.Jalen loves his Buzz. Landon playing in the choo choo train at the museum. Digging for fossils!
