Baer is such a content baby and it is such a blessing, especially with what he has been going through lately. He's trying to crawl and can't quite yet but you can see his determination. The past month or so he has thinned out a little which I think is good because he was so chubby I think it was hard for him to lift himself up. He is now doing so and is comming closer to achieving his milestones. He just got 2 teeth and has 2 more on the way. He's been in for vaccinations recently and to the eye doctor today at 8:30am and didn't get home until 11am. He has a 3rd nipple...not a big deal and we were pretty sure it was but it was confirmed, has an appointment with the pediatrist in August about his partial 6th toe, an MRI in May and the appointments that he has to do before-hand, another eye appointment, and a probable eye surgery!! Poor little tough guy!
So that is what we have been up to lately. Between Spencer's school & many tests lately, Baer's appointments, my schedule, and James being such a great brother & mess maker...it feels like we have been getting more and more behind on our house work. I have some back problems and had to stay in bed for a short while not too long ago. James and Baer were ANGELS [even more than usual :)]. James sat/laid/played next to me and with Baer while I stayed in bed as much as possible and got things for me when I needed them. He is such a great helper! I heard from someone not to long ago about a sign they have up that says something to the effect of... "If you have come to see ME, you are welcome anytime. If you have come to see MY HOUSE, you need to make an appointment." I like that, but I think I like this next one better that a friend of mine has... "A clean house is a sign of a boring woman." Spencer has been very wonderful though. He has been organizing/cleaning our basement/storage/work-out/computer area when he gets the chance. At first, I have to admit, I was wondering why that was more of a priority for him than the upstairs that people see if they come over. Now that it's almost done I can see how it helps with the rest of the house. I can put things down there that I don't need upstairs. It sure is nice when you have more places to put STUFF and to de-clutter the upstairs!
Sorry about lots of writing lately and no pictures! I'll try to get on that. :)
