We are still here. Still alive, still happy and healthy. Our computer decided to pass on into computer heaven and my phone does not allow me to post. So it will just be an update, with a few pictures. We have been busy this summer. We do the parks, water, friends and cousins, and all of that combined makes for two tired people by the end of the day: mom and dad! Jacob is doing great. Other than the constant drool and endless runny noses from having tooth after tooth come in, he is great. He got the all clear from his cardiologist, so we will not see him until next summer, and the pulmonologist we see again in October. He is in physical therapy so that we can get his stomach muscles strong and to stretch his neck muscles. He is doing well. Not far off from crawling. He is really smiley, only wakes up once a night for about 10 minutes to eat, and is off to bed. He loves to eat, even growls at us when we do not share our food. He weighs in at 20 1/2 pounds, which is actually already half a pound more than Collin weighed at a year, and he just turned 9 months. He is short but so very sweet with just a happy little disposition.
Collin loves being a big brother. He and Jacob are so funny together, always making each other laugh and smile. It cracks me up when we are in the car and they keep making each other laugh. Collin adores his Grandparents, loves to hand with the cousins, and makes friends everywhere. He will make a friend every time we go to the park. He can be the sweetest two year old and the next moment he will be raising hell. Gotta love this stage. He loves his books, loves to be outside, and is fascinated with bugs, although does not like to touch them, just likes to watch!
I am still working on losing weight. I have lost 16 pounds since I started. I eat right (with some of the not so great food a once in awhile) and the occasional s'more here and there (more-so the toasty marshmallows!) I walk 3-5 times a week, for about 1-2 hours. It is interesting losing weight after giving birth to three children. The body does not bounce back like it once did! But I keep working at it, and my aim is a pound a week.
Mike and I are both about ready to start back to school in less than a month. It is going to be busy and hard, but will be worth it in the end. I am going to be shadowing a few of the PA's that I work with at the hospital. I just really want to see them at work, as I have read a lot about what a PA does, now I would like too see what they do in real life.
So there's the update. I make no promises when I will post again. I try not to make it too long between posts, but life can just get busy. :)
