I cannot believe the rush from Thanksgiving until New Years. Jerimiah's hours for the entire month were erratic and I was going a little crazy.
I made it out to MOPS all by myself. I was so happy to be able to fellowship and hear such a wonderful message. The rush getting out the door was stressful, but I honestly feel if I do not rip off the bandage and just do it, I would n=be a hermit forever!
We managed to make it out to the TMOTT family Christmas party and got an amazing picture of all the kids with Santa! The girls played well in the baby gated area. Allen had a blast. It was so nice to be out of the house together as a family. Jerimiah cut all of Allen's pretty curls off after we got home.
I finally took the plunge and joined up with Young Living to get more into the oils that have been changing our lives.
On the 14th of December we officially joined our new church family at Wilson Community Church. We have been attending there since last April whenever we were able to make it out and more regularly since September. It was such a special occasion!
Issy caught the flu and I managed to keep everyone else healthy through it! Allen stayed with grandma and grandpa, but the rest of us weathered the storm pretty well. I constantly diffused Theives blend in EVERY room in the house.
The girls started their Synagis vaccine to help prevent RSV. They got a shot early December and late December. The later appointment statistics and current milestones are below.
Sophia weighed in at 16 lbs 14.5 oz. She gets to start solids. She also got with the rolling over program and can roll both ways. In fact she uses it to cross the entire living room floor.
MJ was close behind at 16 lbs even. She also gets to start solid foods now! She is also high enough percentile to go to regular formula. MJ's murmur was unable to be heard at all! She still only rolls from front to back. Hoping to help her build her strength up more.
Little Miss Penny was only 14 lbs 3.5oz. No solids for Penny she was still just below the 20th percentile. We are leaving her on Enfacare a little longer. Penny scoots everywhere and has been rolling both ways since November.
Allen came off of his Trileptal completely. He seems to be coming out of a fog. Its so crazy that he was on it for so long. Intellectually he is blossoming and it makes me so happy.
Issy is behaving better than before. Hoping his report card in January reflects better behavior as well.
