Yesterday I had a final walkthrough at a venue in Pine so Nick went to pick up Aubrey and her kids from the airport.  When I got home, they were sleeping on the couch.  Apparently, Aubrey did not go to sleep the night before because she waited until the last minute to pack…that doesn’t sound like Aubrey does it?  ::insert sarcasm here::  Nick also told me that Will have been sick and thrown up 6 times that day.  So after Aubrey woke up by a phone call from a doctor in South Carolina, we took Will to the hospital.  Luckily, they were not busy at all, so we were able to take him right back.  As soon as we were called back, Will threw up in the  waiting room and I was holding him.  So I got a little puke on me…gross. 

We ended up staying for a few hours and they gave him Zofran.  He felt better and was able to nurse and have it stay down so we were discharged.  We went home and packed so we could come down to our parent’s house. 

Today, Opa came down and we were able to catch up with him.  Unfortunately for him, Will decided to get sick again!  So Aubrey took him to the ER again and they told her they would probably do just the same as the other ER so she was back quickly.  She gave him another dose of Zofran, and has seemed to be better, at least no throwing up.  He is a very happy baby.

Watching Will has made me realize how quickly time passes…I can’t remember what words Ava was saying when she was a year old or what she looked like when she walked.  I wish I would have taken more video of her doing things throughout the day or wrote in her baby book more.  I want to document her life, so when she is older I can remember how things were when she was little.  My mother in law remembers everything about Nick and my brother in law…or at least she seems too.  I don’t want to forget about this experience or my little girl.  It all moves too fast and I am sad about that.  Maybe that will be motovation to blog more (although I do have a journal I have been keeping since December and I know I wrote about Ava in it).

That all said, I am trying to remember if Ava did anything out of the ordinary for today…well she did not have a nap but she did really well despite that.  She fell asleep in Pappy’s arms after her bath.  She wanted to play outside all day and we did the best to accomodate that.  She played in the dirt with Kylee and loved it!  She ate almost a whole burrito with meat on it, which is great considering she hardly ever eats meat.  She let Aubrey put all kinds of bows in her hair this morning and didn’t make a fuss, which is sometimes out of the ordinary too.  What else…she ate almost a whole sandwich for lunch, normally she just has a half.  Will and Ava were “talking” to each other today, she would say something to him and he would scream and then she would scream back, it was pretty cute.  She still is trying to stay everything you say and does it pretty well.  She is talking so much now, it is crazy everything she can say.  I should try to make a list of things she says  on a regular basis.  Oh and Monday night (the 27th) she peed in the potty all by herself which is a pretty big deal.  We made a big deal about it and she got a treat.  Hopefully this will continue.  We also gave up her bottles this week.  We told her that Alannah and Will needed then, it has been going well so far.  She really has not asked for them.  We have just give her a cup with milk in it for nap and bed time, she hardly drinks anything out of it though, so we know she doesn’t need it.

Wow, that was a lot of rambling…sorry.
