Theres always something!

Happy November Everyone!

I hope your fall is going well.  Its hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner again.  The holidays seem to sneak up on me so this year I decided I was going to be ahead of the game.  We put the tree up along with all the decorations 2 weeks ago!  I little early.. maybe to some but what the heck I say just go for it!  Travis also decided today to be Clark Griswold and put out a bunch of lights.  I love this time of year!

Now for what Westin is getting into, how about.....EVERYTHING!  what a wild age!  Also the terrible 2's are in full force.... 2 months early?!  No one told me that was going to happen!  Although we are getting smarter about this.  We have child proofed all the cabinets that we don't want him in, which has cut down on the amount of times I am saying no a day, and also the amount of melt downs.  Of course we have a house full of toys.. but instead the Lysol wipes are so much more appealing. 

He is also a little copy cat.  He is my little cleaning buddy.  He always wants a wet rag to wash the floors... he says "Clean..Clean"  I cant wait until he can vacuum!  I will have my own maid service!  He also loves to color, paint, play with tractors, read books, pick on the dogs, and dump all his toys out and then leave the room. Go figure.

As far as his health for the most part things have been great.  This week we have been dealing with some constipation so I'm not sure what that is all about but we are keeping an eye on things.  Also over the past 2 months I have notice when he sleeps that he seems so restless and that he has also started to snore.  A week ago I brought him is to his Pediatrician and sure enough he has HUGE tonsils.  So we have been referred  to a ears, nose, throat specialist.  This appointment isn't for a few weeks so It will be interesting to see what they say.  His pediatrician said he wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to take them out...    UGH! Just when I think we will have a break.. NOPE! Westin sure knows how to keep us on our toes. 

He gets better and better every day with his walking... he is even trying to run..  He can also walk without his AFOs which is fun.  I am looking into maybe switching to a SMO which is still a brace however it only goes up past his ankle.  He has pretty week ankles so he still needs that support.

We are so blessed with such a determined and stubborn little guy!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.  we sure have a lot to be thankful for!
