Silas loves to lay on the floor and hold onto his knee fat.

bedtime story with daddy

This kid amazes me, he lifts up on his head and scoots around

crash and burn

• First appointment at Shriner's Hospital.  We saw Dr. Carroll the ortho doctor, we were very impressed.  She said that Silas looked great.  No ortho problems for now!  She said he has a beautiful spine.
• Silas turns 5 months!
• Maren gets potty trained!!! I think this was the biggest highlight of the month.
• Silas had a sleep study.  Ben took him, they both had a rough night.  
• Maren has her 3 year old checkup and is doing great.  We discuss possible tonsil problems with Dr. Glade.
• Maren sees Dr. Heras the day after seeing Dr. Glade.  Her adenoids are huge and are probably the cause of her snoring, sleep apnea and maybe her mood.  Schedule to have them removed.
• I make a birthday cake for a friend's son, maybe not a highlight, but it turned out pretty cool.
• Our neighbor used his tractor to level off our pitchers mound and our other hill of dirt in the back yard.
• My aunt Judie and uncle Steve gave us their swing set.  The kids are in love!
• Trip up the canyon to see the leaves and drive the Alpine Loop
• Silas has to go back on oxygen when he sleeps, bummer.
• September 25th Maren goes in to have her adenoids removed, within minutes of going into the OR, the Dr. came to tell me she needed her tonsils out too.  They were huge and hanging low.  Poor kid was not prepared for that.
• Maren has 9 straight days of pain and misery.  Not to mention the mommy that was going stir crazy being cooped up at home for weeks on end.
• Sydnee came home from school sick.  It turned out to be hand-foot-mouth disease.  It spread to me and Silas and Addy.  Thankfully Maren and Ben didn't get sick.
