3 months, 17 months, and a haircut!!

Okay, this is way late, but life is CRAZY!!!!!! Claire turned 3 months on January 1st, and Wells turned 17 months on January 4th. I have tried to post everyday, but haven't had a chance. I'll give you an update on both and give an update on their health.

As far as Claire goes, she is giving you the number 3 in her picture to represent 3 months! We thought that was too funny. She is smiling and talking to us ALL the time...when she is not crying :). Poor thing still has major reflux and tummy issues that we just can't get straightened out. We are going to the pediatric GI doctor on January 19th to see what all is going on. She definitely has colic as well. She has just gotten worse as time has gone on. So continue to pray for the sweet girl. I just hate watching her scream out in pain and selfishly, we need sleep. We are talking maybe two hours a night right now. She still has fluid in her ears as well and we are trying to put off tubes with her at least until 4 months or prayerfully none at all if we can get the fluid to move out of her ears miraculously. Her bed in her crib is ramped so high that we are afraid we are going to find her in a ball at the bottom as some point! Hopefully next month we can give a better update! She is getting dedicated at church tomorrow and we pray she is happy for that! :)

Wells is showing you in his picture that he had his first haircut this month!! Chris got to take him so I could stay home with Claire and I was really sad about that, especially when he got home and all his baby curls were gone. :( He looked like such a big boy that I almost cried!!! But it was definitely time. His hair was turning into a mullet for sure!! He did well at the haircut because sweet Connie (who Chris has always used as well) kept feeding him smarties!! Wells is cracking us up more and more. He loves to repeat everything we say, so we are really having to watch what we say! He also loves to tell us "no" about everything showing his independence. So Chris and I are having to discipline a lot! And he is ALL BOY!! He climbs on EVERYTHING, gets into everything around the house, and has so much energy. He is a ball of fun!!! And he still LOVEs his sissy and often tries to stick his own paci in her mouth when she is crying. I guess he is worried or frustrated as well!! His ear infections are gone, but he does have a yeast infection behind his tubes so continue to pray for him as well.

Our new year's resolutions were to get our children well!!! We just know that 2010 is going to be a year for health for our family!! At least we pray it will be! We really do ask that you continue to pray for health for both children and that we can get Claire's tummy well and that nothing major is wrong with her. Thanks for the sweet emails and comments and for all the encouragement!
