What is up?

We've had a busy week. Last Thursday night after our morning trip to the ER with Evan Alex woke up at 11:00 screaming and Eric went in his room and he threw up all over himself/crib and Eric. After getting him bathed and his bed all changed he managed to get sick again requiring another bath and set of pajamas. A stomach bug was going around the toddler room and it finally caught up with Alex. It didn't last too long, but it has taken him awhile to get his appetite back. Evan was waking up every hour or to during the night until the last couple nights(it reminded me of having a newborn again). He returned to daycare on Monday for half a day and has been going back full days the rest of the week.

Alex thinks the storage container for the hot wheels cars is for him to sit in!

After our trip to the ER we stopped by Costco to get Evan some frozen yogurt. Eric sat in back and said he got him to eat about 20 spoonfuls. We are still struggling with Evan to get him to eat and drink, but he is feeling better..so hopefully he'll start eating normal again soon.

When Alex used to build towers with blocks he would always just take the single blocks and now he is starting to make more elaborate! Go ALEX!



Sunday we had tickets to the Vikings game in Eric's company suite. I was pretty excited, because I haven't been to a game before and watching a game in a suite is a great way to watch a game. Eric woke up on Sunday and was feeling a little under the weather. We decided to go to the game as you can see from this picture. Two minutes before half time Alex's stomach bug caught up with Eric and we had to make an emergency exit out of the dome. We missed the most exciting Vikings game of the year! On they way home Eric had on a jacket, blanket and seat heater. He was pretty useless for the next day.


This morning Alex and I went to the Children's Pediatric Speciality Clinic and he took the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development test. A couple months ago Children's Heart Clinic called and said they were having a study on children with heart defects and tracking their development. We do not have any concerns with Alex, because he seems to be an active and talkative toddler. It was no surprise that he passed the test with flying colors!!! YIPPEE!! I was a little worried about how he would act, because his last couple trips to the doctor have not been a picnic. We got there early and I brought some of his toys to play with to ease his mind. The only two things he didn't want to do was kick a ball..he picked it up and threw it. He also wouldn't jump off a step. He cautiously stepped down. The Doctor was quite impressed with our Little Alex!
