March Madness

We've had a great March...hoping I don't jinx that as the month is not over yet! :)Love them so much!

Norah was able to go back to school last week (the class is finally healthy!) and just in time...the eggs in the class hatched over the weekend. They have a baby girl chick and are trying to come up with her name! The names the class has come up with are quite funny, so we are eager to hear the final name. She is doing so great reading that she is going to get to read in the all-school mass Montessori leads this Spring! We are so proud of her - she is doing such a great job and is so eager to read!

Isabella is thrilled because Brian bought the new Celtic Thunder DVD so she can dance to new music now! She is very talented when it comes to dancing...she even choreographs her own dance moves!! She is very excited because tomorrow she gets to stay at school all day - a practice of sorts for next year! We can't believe how big she is getting, it's hard to believe she will be in pre-school already!Busily playing in the sandbox - she did her own hair that day :)

William has taken off the past couple of weeks regarding eating and crawling...yes! crawling! He is eating all table food (with the exception of one baby food he LOVES - peach rice pudding :)) and gradually eats more and more. He lost almost 2 lbs after his surgery and still weighs 12 oz less than he did 6 weeks ago...but he is doing so well and getting there, and his nutritionist is not worried about weight yet. He frequently gets food stuck when he eats, but is getting better about clearing it and with the help of us making him take a drink, he can clear his throat. His TM flares up when he eats and drinks, but, thankfully he has been okay and hasn't needed an Esophogram since the one in early March. And...he is crawling!! He just has taken off the past week to week and a half and is gradually crawling longer distances. He is such a trouper and an inspiration to everyone. It's very hard to believe he will turn one next month...what a year!He loves to read and pulled himself up to a kneeling position to get books!

Brian is training for the half marathon in STL in April. He's doing great and is excited for the half marathon...well, as excited as one can be for one! Things for me are going well. I feel extremely blessed to still have the ability to work from home part-time. Even though William has had a great couple of weeks, there is still the concern of another dying spell or even a blue spell. He needs one-on-one interaction and we wouldn't be able to find that in a childcare center. I know we've said this often, but we are very lucky and realize that we have been given so much...and for that we are very thankful.

Hoping everyone has a great rest of March!
