Our Trip to the ER

FIRST STITCHES!





We made our first trip to the ER (for an injury) last night. It was a scary experience for us all but we made it through. Mason was climbing on a chair and it tipped over backwards. His finger got pinched by the back of the chair. It sliced it pretty good. As you can tell by the picture. He got 4 stitches and hated every minute of it. To top it all off he's learned to milk for all it's worth! :) :)
After we got home I wasn't sure who was in worse shape though--- Mason or Mommy! :)
It was hard and scary but we made it through. He gets them removed in about 2 weeks and he'll most likely have a good scar but he's a boy right! Scars will be his life.

Ethan's 2 Months!

Ethan turns 2 months old today!
He had his check-up yesterday and is doing well. Here are his specs:
Height: 23 inches ---- 50%
Weight: 12 lbs 1.8 ozs. ---- 60%
Head Size: 151/2 inches ---- 40%


We did discover that he has a very special allergy. After about a month of finding the right formula for him we've discovered that he is allergic to the cow's protein found in breast milk and regular formula, like Mason was. But on top of that he is part of a special 20% who are allergic to soy protein as well! It's been fun. Lets just say we're special in having to get the hypoallergenic formula we're even more special 'cause it just happens to be most expensive formula on the market. Thankfully the state is willing to help us get it for him! We don't really care though-as long as he's happy and well. And he FINALLY is! He's finally started to smile and enjoy his little life. We've really enjoyed this past week of happiness. I think he's really enjoyed it also.
Unfortunately because he has this special allergy the doctor says that he will most likely have other allergies. So I have a feeling we're in for an adventure with this little guy. But he's so cute that it's all worth it. :)
Ethan had his first professional pictures taken yesterday and so we're really looking forward to those. I'll post them when I get them back. It's was fun dressing the boys alike and having their picture taken together! I really can't wait to see them.
