Slacking

We have been so very busy lately I haven't been able to update.

Zoe is doing good finally. She is 4 months old now and 12 pounds 2 ounces along with 22 inches long! yay! We had our initial consulation with dermatology down at Children's about her hemangioma. They said they want to be very agressive in treating it since it is getting so much bigger and it's right on her eye. It has growen a half a cm in a week already. Zoe will be put on steroids first to stop the growth but unfortunately it will weaken her already weaker immune system and could possibly slow down her weight and height gains. It's either that or she loses the vision in that eye because it will get bigger before they can get her in for surgery. She has to see the opthamologist on the 14th again to see if any visual damages have been done by it then the 15th we go back down to milwaukee to start the steroid injections. I'm terrified with the boys being in school, Kaleb has had an on and off cold and Andrew's sister at his mom's house has been sick. Hand washing obviously doesn't take care of it because she has already been re hospitalized. Her development is on track right now, she's awake and alert more with holding her head up in short bursts. She started babbling too! Zoe is still 100% a daddy's girl. She has also graduated to her crib now! yay! Still wakes up every 2-3 hours for 4 ounce feedings. But right now she is healthy and progressing wonderfully!

Kaleb is doing awesome in school, he uses the potty there off and on, depends on his mood and as long as it's not right away when he gets there, takes him a bit to wake up even though he starts at 8:30 and is up and at them at 5:30am. He also has been using the potty here at home off and on but now he's the bathroom king, tries to makes himself go potty when he doesn't have to so he can get his thomas the train sticker. Kaleb's speech has improved a ton since school had started. He's starting to become more independent. He still loves to be all over baby zoe!

Andrew is doing good also. He is being switched to a different elementary school, not good for him but we have to for several reasons. His current teacher is not at all pleasent, it's like talking to a brick wall and not at all a person I want to be teaching my kindergardner. Andrew was crying one day because he peed his pants since the teacher wouldn't let him go to the bathroom. Then one day I was waiting for him to get done and when they all came out to get their backpacks and jackets one kid got a drink from the bubbler, 5 steps away, and she rips him away under his arm yelling at him. Andrew's speech really hasn't improved so I feel it needs to be bumped up more, the therapy. The facilities at the school are very old, not very up to date. We just hope this next school is the one because we aren't going to be able to switch him anymore, he needs the stability. I'm sure it will be though!

That's about it here. OH! IMPORTANT! Very excited that Zoe is getting baptized the 19th yay! We are going to be doing a bit of home updates following the baptism, replacing the living room carpet, kitchen counter and sink and so forth, that excites me too cause this place sucks! Thankfully our landlord is ok with it! Well that's it here! Hope everyone is doing well!

WTG Zoe for a fast weight gain, (LOL I told you she was going to out grow Christian heehee He's 10 pounds 12 oz 23 inches now) I'll be praying for her to stay sick free and that the spot (Can't spell that word) Gets taken care of soon.
WTG Kaleb on the potty Training, I'm so glad he's doing good at it and that his Speach has improved.
As for Andrew's Teacher sounds like she needs SLAPPED Lord how mercy Teachers these days. It might be a good idea to report her to the board, She shouldn't be treating kids like that. I hope things work out w/ his school and Mom situation.
I'll be thinking of you Guys, Post Lots of pics of Zoe's Baptisim!
