Tubes and teeth and talking oh my!!!

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!
