Here’s my bi-monthly post update!
Eli’s constant ear infections landed us in the ENT’s office on 12/12 and he had tubes put it on 12/19. Oh what a difference they made! He is talking like crazy… mama, dada, mu (more), dye-dye (bye-bye), et (eat), tooks (cookies) and hi. He is signing so much more now too. He’s not quite walking yet but will hold our hands to practice and rocks the house with his push toys! He is sleeping all night (7:30-6:30) and in a much better mood. It’s just great. He is teething yet again but he finally has 6 teeth now and we’re working on #7 now. Eli is drinking from a sippy cup now! He still has a morning bottle and 2 at school but no night night bottle….slowly but surely!
*Might I add that Kevin ended up with strep throat the day before Eli’s surgery. I had to take him to urgent care Sunday, Ben stayed home Monday morning with him and my mom and I went to the hospital with Eli. Never a dull moment with these boys!*
Kevin is doing great. He’s learning so much in school now and learning how to read small words. He’s keeping us on his toes with his little attitude and personality and he’s so much fun.
Christmas was great this year! We took the boys to get their pictures taken and YES I have pictures to post to show how big they are! Eli got some new toys (and sippy cups) that he is enjoying and Kevin got Wii games, a discovery laptop, games and movies. He was in heaven.
All else is well in the Sasser house! Trying to keep the boys healthy this next year with our insurance changing. Lots of vitamins and hand washing going on. We are looking forward to 2012 and all the fun adventures that will come our way. With these two kids every day is an adventure – and I cannot imagine life with Eli walking and talking this time next year….but I’m ready for it!

Because I’m the world’s worst blogger – I will combine all my news in a quick update:
First: Eli is getting his 4 top teeth in! This just started a few days ago and surprisingly enough he’s in a pretty good mood! Before Thanksgiving he had an ear infection and thrush – that cleared up in about a week and now the thrush is back. We are attempting another round of medicine this week and hoping it works. Eli is cruising on everything these days. He can stand up by himself for a short amount of time only. He is eating everything under the sun, completely off baby food and only 3 bottles a day now. So ready for no formula in a few weeks. He still struggles drinking out of a sippy cup but I’m sure he’ll get the hang of it soon enough. This baby is in no hurry to do anything….
Second: Kevin had a wonderful 4th birthday. We had a party at the park and invited all our friends and family. It was so windy and a little cool in the morning but turned out to be a great day and he had a blast. Ben was brave and picked up the bounce houses (to save money) and did a great job at setting them up. Kevin got so many cool presents and is definitely set in the toy department for the next year!
Third: I don’t really think there is a third. My news is all boring. Our life consist of church, school and work. If we sleep…that’s a bonus. I joke all the time that my kids are fed and bathed on a daily basis, don’t expect much more out of me until they are older.
And to answer the question that I was asked several time recently – NO….we are not trying for another baby and NO I’m not sad that we’re not having a girl! I love being a mommy and raising my 2 boys. Couldn’t ask for anything more.
