Phew! I don't know where the month of May went?! We were waiting and waiting for it to come and now it is almost over. Lots of things have happened in the B house in May. Here is a little recap (not in any particular order):
*Little O was baptized! We had a few family members come to town and celebrate with us. It was PERFECT. We enjoy having them visit and the kids LOVE having extra people to play with, esp. their Auntie A who is only a couple years older than J.
*J and E are riding bikes (with training wheels) like pros! J was doing a great job but E was ever so frustrating. Now he is getting it and can almost keep up with J.
*J started her physical therapy once a week and is working on getting her muscles stronger! She loves going to see her 'teacher' as she calls her. I think she really enjoys the extended one-on-one attention which is hard to come by in our home sometimes.
*N is getting more and more hair! She doesn't have quite enough to put in a full ponytail but my hope is that someday she will! Our kids tended not to have a whole lot of hair until they were 2 1/2 or 3. YIKES!
*O is rollin' all over the place. It started a month or so ago. He was rolling back to tummy and now he can go about 6 feet from his original place. It is crucial now that we watch where we are walking since you never know where he could be even though he is not crawling, yet.
*T passed his first year of medical school! We were super excited and nervous at the same time. I know that he is very intelligent and there is not a doubt in my mind that he will pass, but he seems to doubt himself. This block in particular was neuro-based (which apparently is difficult) and he took a night class that used a lot of his time that could have been spent studying. But long story short... HE PASSED and is a second year student now.
*E continues to try our patience every. single. day. We just don't get it. He simply fights and argues about everything. Even something fun like going outside to play. It is so frustrating sometimes.
*J is even more of a rock star at her letters. We are focusing now on upper- and lower-case letters, she still gets a little confused with when to use each appropriately.
*N is talking more and more everyday. She still does not speak in full sentences yet but she is able to communicate to us what she wants/ thinks. She is going to be one of the firecrackers in the family. She appears to be very expressive and opinionated even at her young age.
*O is a happy little guy who loves just watching what is going on. He can be on the floor or in his saucer for quite a while as long as he is able to see his big sisters and brother. Every now and then they will pop over to shake his hand, give him a toy, sing to him, or just talk to him and he gets so excited. He just screams and laughs. It is so nice (as a parent) to see the kids getting along and having so much fun together.
*Doctor time. I took a home-video of this since it is played so often I thought the kids may like to see it when they are older. J, E, & N all play that they are the doctors and O is the patient. He is a perfect little patient. He just lays their in all his glory while the three big kids ohhh and ahhh over him. He just eats it up. They check his ears, listen to his heart, give him shots, check his mouth (esp. since he has TWO new teeth!), and check his blood pressure. He is in good health just in case you were wondering.
Well I am sure you are slightly bored by now but that is about 1/3 of our month. Hopefully next month I will be better at updating. = )
