Racin' Time!!

Glen and I went to Road Atlanta yesterday evening to register for the Petite Le-Mans race. We are very excited for Glen's first race. Me'me' and Pe'pe' are letting us join them at the track on Saturday for the big race. I think Glen is really gonna enjoy watching the cars. After we registered we went drove around in the golf cart looking at the track. We got to see two cars doing a photo shoot on the track. When we went to see the pits we got to see the cars come in. Glen really liked getting a close up view of the cars. I think Glen's favorite part though was the dirt parking lot. He did a lot of running, screaming, and playing in the dirt.

Hmmm

I am wondering if this blog page is worth the time. Does anyone look at the pictures and videos? If not I'm thinking about not taking the time anymore. Please let me know. If there is even one person that still checks out the blog I will keep it going.

What's New!!

It looks like Will is now taking 6 oz bottles. He kind of acts like he still wants more, but I'm afraid that if I give him more than 6 oz he will throw it up. He did that when he was taking 5 oz and wanted more before he was ready. His skin is looking a lot better. He is now "picture pretty" as I like to call it. He is going 8 hours in between bottles at night now, and it is wonderful bliss!!

Glen has become quite the "talking parrot". He repeats a lot of what we say now, and likes to talk a lot when not around strangers. Last night, we had left over enchilada's. I asked Glen if he wanted a burrito for dinner, and he said burrito! New people is really the only way to get him to stop talking! It's great! We were so worried about his speech. He is still a little behind, but we are working on it. He still loves Will. I think he is gonna be a really great big brother to Will when he gets older.

Sam did enjoy the heck out of his long weekend. He didn't want to go back to work yesterday, but then again, who does after having 5 days off. He was able to spend one of the days pressure washing the house and we went to lunch at Sonny's, on a week day. It was great! Glen enjoyed his daddy being home to play with him! I enjoyed Sam being home and entertaining Glen!

My Boys!

I had to take Will back to the doctor again yesterday. He has an infection in his eye from his tear duct getting infected from the cold he had: thrush, probably from Glen sticking Will's pacifiers in his mouth when we're not looking then putting them back in the pack 'n play and then us putting them in Will's mouth; and looks like the rash on his head that isn't going away but getting worse is from the fragrance in the creamy baby oil I've been putting on his head to try and make it better. I can't find anything that I can use on his head that doesn't have fragrance so we are gonna try the Cetaphil I've been using as lotion. My poor baby William.

Glen used the potty at school yesterday! All day!! He was dry all day, except for when he woke up from his nap, but that is to be expected. I'm so proud of my big boy for using the potty!

Sam is getting ready to start a five day weekend. I think he is secretly really excited about this but doesn't want anyone to know just how excited!

I'm trying to get this house back in order and cleaned! Maybe then I can enjoy the weekend with Sam!

2 Month Check Up

Will and I went to the Dr for his 2 month check up yesterday. Will is 23 inches long and 10lbs 5oz. He is on the 25th percentile and growing well! His head control is getting better. The hypoallergenic formula is working and we got more free samples from the dr's office. That is such a big help. When we tried to put rice in it to thicken it up so he wouldn't spit so much up, he got another rash. Dr. Lameda thinks he probably was having a reaction to the rice cereal. We also found out that Will has a red dye allergy, due to breaking out when products with red 33 are used on his skin. So we are trying a hypoallergenic baby wash. Hopefully it works. I will find out tomorrow when he gets his bath. He got 3 shots and 1 oral vaccine yesterday. He cried for just a little while after-wards and then slept the rest of the day.
Not much else to report on the baby boy. All he has been doing lately is sleeping, eating, and pooping.

I started to make a list of the words and sentences Glen says. I have been adding to it throughout the day as he says things. The list is a lot longer than I thought! He is doing very well. He might be caught up by pre-school.

Labor Day

We went down to the farm to visit with family on Sunday. We had a nice visit, but missed Memama. William got to meet Aunt Donna, Uncle Joe, Aunt Debi, and Uncle Bob. We had a great southern meal with lots of veggies and talking. The weather was really nice so we spent a lot of time out on the porch chit chatting. Sam attempted to take the X-Terra down to the pond. Him and Glen had a great time trail blazing from what I hear. They came back with a few twigs stuck here and there and some spiders in the car, but they had fun so I guess it was worth it.

The army worms are back! Time to start another battle! We finally got the mower fixed only to find that the cable they replaced was left resting on the belt they replaced. The belt chewed through the cable covering and started to chew through the cable. Not to mention they charged us for an air filter they did not replace. They took two weeks to change the transmission along with the belt and the cable. I took the mower back to them this morning and they are going to replace the belt and cable, and refund us 10 percent of the original cost for my trouble. I had to pry that 10 percent out of their hands, but got it none the less.

Stay tuned for more after William's 2 month check up.
