Little Sickies + 18-Month Stats

Thankfully we had our 18-month well baby visit this morning, because S&Z have been sick for the past few days and they needed to be seen by someone before the weekend was upon us. It ends up that they both have croup and Silas has an ear infection that is a result of the runny nose and cold-like symptoms that go with the croup. Until he gets allergy tested, we are avoiding amoxicillin (he got a rash the first time he had amox this winter) so he'll be treated with a round of azithromycin. Zoe has had some stridor associated with the croup, so she got an oral treatment of prednisone before we left.

Otherwise, the appointment went great - no tears or fussing - probably because there were no shots :) Here are the stats!

SILAS:
35-1/4 inches (98th percentile)
27 pounds, 15 ounces (74th percentile)

ZOE:
33-1/2 inches (89th percentile)
25 pounds, 7 ounces (64th percentile)

Hopefully they will feel better over the weekend. They haven't wanted to eat hardly anything, but are drinking plenty of water and milk. We are hosting the entire Dutra clan on Sunday for a BBQ to celebrate a late Easter and early Mother's Day. Pictures to follow!

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...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
