Get Up, Stand Up!

Zoe has loved to stand since she was about 5 months old.


This week, at the age of 10 months, she figured out how to pull herself up. She & Silas both have been pulling to knees for awhile, but now that she can stand it's all she wants to do!

Here she is in her crib showing Mommy & Daddy her new skill, so proud!


She wanted to show off at her great-grandparents house on Friday,


She loves standing by the bathtub too.



Let's just hope she figures out how to get down on her own soon! As some of you know, little Miss Z can be full of drama at times. She cries and cries until someone comes and helps her down, and this is becoming a bit of a problem when it keeps happening during naptime!

I'm sure Silas will be not too far behind his sister with this new development. He is a big boy and has more weight to pull up :) Silas will be having an MRI of his brain and spinal cord on September 12th in order to check out possible reasons for the tightness he continues to have in his legs. He is still standing on his toes and not bearing a lot of weight, so it will probably take continued physical therapy and a little more time before he is standing comfortably. I'll let you all know what comes out of the MRI after we get the results in September...

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2
