Day 218

Today we visited with Fred and Kyra and their children Liya and Kaden.  Fred and Kyra were visiting Chicago from Long Beach, Ca.  Liya is almost 4 years old.  Nolan and Liya had a wonderful time together.  Nolan didn't want to go home at the end of the evening!

Day 217

My Cutie!

Day 217

Guess who is sitting all by herself?  And even more importantly, who was given Fergus "a thomas train" to play with.  That is correct, her brother shared a toy with her!  Avery was thrilled to be able to play with a train!

Day 216

Just LOVE this face.  

This was taken yesterday, and since I was in the hospital with Nolan today I didn't get a picture taken...so here is AVERY!

Day 215

Our First Ambulance Ride!

Our Nolan managed to become sick on July 4th, he developed a cough, and wheezing.  Todd and I knew he really wasn't feeling well, when he was lying on the couch...not LIKE our boy!  After several breathing treatments at home, we decided it was time for the emergency room.  And when I asked Nolan if he would like to go to the doctor, his response, "YES."  So I knew he really didn't feel good.  Well, in the ER he was a trooper he received more breathing treatments, some medications, chest xray and an IV.  He was certainly not a fan of the IV, but again was a trooper.  The doctor at the ER thought Nolan would benefit from being admitted to the hospital, so we were transferred to Lutheran General.  Which required the ambulance ride,  Nolan really enjoyed this, he would have rode in the back of that ambulance all day long.  He chatted with the paramedics about police cars and the fireworks, it was super cute!  

So instead of fireworks, we got an ambulance ride!

Day 214

 Avery's first experience sitting in the grass.  I am not sure she liked it.  I think she thought it was a bit scratchy!

Day 213

Happy 4th of July Weekend!  I am 7 months old today...I can now sit with very little support!
