So Smart!

Emily is a genius! Last night she rolled from her stomach to back twice! We're so proud!

Pink and on the Mend!

Thank you for all of the concerned phone calls, texts, and comments. As you can see, Madeline is doing well and she was perfect for getting her cast. I think the pink cast looks great, as least as far as casts go! She's eating apples and not concerned about her leg. She's getting around much better than she was and should be walking on it soon. She's still afraid to stand on it but they said it wouldn't be long before she's going all around on it.This is yesterday. Much more pitiful and hopped up on Tylenol with codiene.
Here's a picture with Daddy.
Daddy with his girls. They're all really into Dora - well, maybe not Emily.
Something Madeline never did - sleep on her stomach! Emily was sacked out for an hour! I'm not sure she's really getting full use out of her playmat.
The sisters smiling at each other - so sweet! (Those premie clothes don't fit anymore!)
Cute picture of Madeline at the park.
We're doing good, everybody's on the up-slope of getting over colds and sleeping good at night. Well, within reason for Emily.

It's all fun and games until.....

....someone breaks their tibia. Isn't she pitiful!

We were having a great time at Ben and Sophie's B-day party and the 3 big kids were riding tricycles just before we were going to leave and then, poor Madeline. John was pushing her on the tricycle (which she can't pedal yet) and she tried to pedal. Well, they were going fast and her little foot got caught in the pedal and turned her foot about 180 degrees. Oddly enough, she wasn't screaming or crying really hard, just normal crying. When she couldn't put any weight on it we decided it was probably sprained but should get it checked out. The urgent care clinic in Sterling Ridge was AWESOME! They were really nice and got us in quick. So now she's in a firm splint and will need to get a hard walking cast next week.

So, to sum up, our 2 year old has a broken leg, John has horrible guilt (it was a complete accident. Lots of people have pushed their kids like this and never had a problem!), and we'll be holding off on getting that tricycle for Christmas. It's going to be hard to keep her off her feet until she gets her hard cast on but thank goodness for Tylenol w/codiene!

Halloween

Here are pics of my cute sunshine and star. Emily was very cooperative for her picture but Madeline....not so much. Here's the best I could get. Anyway, I thought they were cute!

Everybody's sick

Sadly, Madeline is feverish with cough and runny nose and Emily has a mild cough and stuffy nose. Poor 2 week old baby - that's too young to be sick. Thank goodness for Little Noses Saline and suction bulbs. No, she doesn't like it but she does appreciate being able to breath after I'm done. Madeline can blow her nose, no suction needed.

In other news, I have cute Halloween pictures and other pictures uploaded and hopefully I'll get to post them soon.
