Hart Park

Friday morning our power went out in our house, so we thought we'd go to the park and get rid of some old bread, so here's a few pics of the event...

This wasn't at Hart Park, but it was too cute not to post!

Michael doesn't really like his daddy much! :)

Little Miss Emma

Well, we went to the doctor for her "weigh-in" and the doctor (who was a lot nicer and not as "worried" this time) said that all of her results came back fine. The only thing is that she was a little dehydrated. I'm sure there's a reason for it, but it just seems weird to me that a baby can get dehydrated when all they eat is liquid, but whatever! Emma now weighs 12 lbs 9 oz, where she gained 4 oz in 2 weeks, which is better than the 1 oz in 2 weeks! I explained to the doctor (again!) that she has her mommy's build and that I did the same thing when I was a baby where I didn't gain any weight for awhile, and all of the sudden I started gaining. She finally believed me and said that we would just keep an eye on her and told me some signs to look for just in case. She has a follow-up appointment next month. I'm really not impressed with her new doctor and so far, the only thing I like about it is the decor! But, she needs to be seen...

My Crazy Kids

Michael got "stuck" (thanks for the toy, Aunt Carianne!)

I don't think Emma quite understands how a pacifier works!

Risky Business

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Ron's birthday! He had a golf tournament yesterday and today, but we had dinner over here with the fam this evening. It was fun! Ron said he wanted steak and HE wanted to bbq, so that's what we did. We also had corn on the cob, macaroni salad, fruit w/dip, cake & homemade oreo & homemade butterfinger ice cream! Everything was delicious! Ron's dad got him an easy-up canapy with 4 folding chairs, my parents got him some shorts to golf in, my brother & fam got him a massage, I got him rice crispy treats, and the kids got him a portable DVD player. He also got a card from his mom in which she said she was making him a blanket and would get it when we go visit this summer. So, he made out pretty good. I tried to make this day be a nice one, since it's his last birthday of his 20's!!! :o) Anyway, I just want him to know how much I love him and how much I appreciate all he does for me and for the kids. I love watching him interact with them and feel so blessed to have such a great dad that loves his kids so much! I even love the fact that he remembers to take time out of his schedule to spend time with me! I love you, "bunny"!!! Happy Birthday!!!

Update

Okay, So Ron took Emma for her 6 month checkup about 3 weeks ago where they said that she was underweight and to feed her more high calorie foods. We had a follow-up appt last Wednesday where she had only gained 1 oz in 2 wks, where she's supposed to be gaining a 1/2 oz everyday. So, the doctor ordered for her to get an Upper GI and a Sweat Chloride test along with some blood work. So, last Thursday we took her get the Upper GI and they said she only refluxed once in 5 minutes, which is normal. Then, today, I took her to get the Sweat Chloride test done, but she wouldn't sweat, so it didn't work. They still got a urine sample and blood work, though. So, I had to call the doctor and let them know that the sweat test didn't work and what to do next. They said that they were going to wait for the blood work results to come in and see if she needs to go through the sweat test again. We go in for a follow-up/weight check next Tuesday. Ahh....the joys of motherhood!
