We were finishing up dinner last night and I had put Will down on the floor to clean up his chair. As I was cleaning, all of a sudden Will starting screaming. I turned around and he had reached up on top of the island counter and grabbed the green bean container and pulled it off of the counter (it was plastic, thank goodness). He was covered from his head to toes in green bean water and there were beans everywhere. All I could do was starting laughing. I picked him up to calm him down and tell him that it was okay, and we were both covered in green bean water.
I put him over on the carpert and got him dried off and went back to clean up the rest of the mess on the floor and Will came running over to me. He slipped on the floor (the wood is really really slick when it is wet) and hit his head pretty hard. It was sort of a nightmare evening for us after that!
Just when you think you have stuff pushed back far enough on the counter...those little "go-gadget" arms reach up there and the next thing you know....GREEN BEAN SHOWER!!!

New Toys
Today, Brad gave Will his old cell phone and our old digital camera. Will has spent most of today "talking" on his phone and taking pictures of the front of his shirt. He loves both "toys" and has been doing his happy dance all day. He has already figured out how to turn the camera on and off and to take pictures. He giggles when the flash goes off. It is really funny!
He puts them both down on the floor and then chooses one to play with. He then will come back and sets one down and gets the other one. I have a feeling we are going to have another "geek" on our hands with all the obsession of electronics!!

Milestones
I have been trying to take Ady up to her room for one good nap a day while Will is down for his nap. Anyway, today she was fussing a little and I went up to check on her, and she had rolled over from her tummy to her back! I couldn't believe it! It is crazy how quickly these milestones happen!
She is also miss chatterbox! She coos and goos all of the time! I don't remember Will ever talking this much this early! The two sounds that she makes sound like "hi" and "ow." She also has kind of a happy shriek. It is really cute. She is getting so much personality and is spending more of her days happier than crying! Yeah Ady!!

Will busting Mommy!
The other day I was sitting on the couch with Will and he was eating Goldfish crackers (his new favorite food!). We have been working on please and thank you with him. He can't quite say either, but with the word please he makes the p sounds. As he was eating I said, "Will, can mommy have one?" He looked at me and started to hand me a cracker and then stopped. He said, "pah, pah" meaning that I had to say please to him. It just melted my heart and made me crack up. He totally busted me for not saying please! He is such a funny little guy! Practice what you preach mommy!!

Circus Fun!
We went to Alexandria to visit Brad's parents this past weekend and Will got to go to his first Circus with Grammie and Grampie! He had so much fun and came home with a little elephant on a leash!! He really liked the tigers and kept growling! Grammie and Grampie were really impressed at how well behaved Will is and what a good kid he is. They also had compliments from people sitting around them! Brad and I very proud!!
18 month & 2 month updates
Will's appointment was first. He weighs 24 pounds (25%) and is 33 1/2 inches (90%) long. He is finally gaining a little bit of weight, but has also grown three and a half inches in the last six months!! The doctor was happy with his development and was really surprised at how he communicates and was glad that he is gaining more words everyday! He is up to about 25 words now and communicates really well non-verbally. He is adding more everyday and really understands how to use the words that he does know.
Ady's appointment was second. She weighs 10.8 pounds and is 24 inches long. She is right at 50% for her weight and about 90% for height. The doctor was pleased that she is gaining well with her acid reflux. She did change Ady's medication again so that we don't have to refrigerate it anymore. She is on Previcid which is once a day for now! She also has eczema, which may be related to a milk allergy. The doctor does not know whether it is an allergy or if it is from just being dry from all of her acne. We are treating it with cortizone right now and a really heavy moisturizer and it seems to be going away. Hopefully we will get her on track in the next couple of months! The doctor thinks that she will start taking a turn for the better in the about four or five weeks (as far as her acid reflux and colic). We are still just taking it day by day!!

Update of Will & Ady
Sorry it has been so long since I have updated the blog, but it just doesn't seem like I have a free minute during the day and I am too tired at night to even think about looking at the computer!
Will is just getting over some kind of bug he got when we got home from the lake. He had a 105.2 fever for a couple of days followed by some pretty bad diarrhrea. It was not fun....I hate when he is sick! He just wants to be held all of the time and it breaks my heart that I can't.
He is doing much better this week and even got some kid time this past weekend. We went to a birthday party and he made lots of new friends.
Ady is still struggling with her acid reflux and still has colic on top of that. She does a lot of crying all day long. I feel so bad that I can't console her and I have come to grips with her crying. I can now actually just leave her in the swing or the bouncy seat and let her cry instead of trying to hold her all of the time. It has helped both of us I think! She seems to be getting better with the acid reflux....we have gotten into a pretty good routine with the medicine and I think she is learning that she can't eat for 15-30 minutes after she takes it. She also doesn't fight me in taking it anymore. So, hopefully she grows out of the colic in the next month or so and we can have some peace around here!! HAHA!
We decided that we are taking a trip to Nebraska next month so we can see my family and friends. We are going to try to make the 12 hour drive all in one day.....we are actually giving ourselves a couple of days to make it in case we can't take Ady's crying for the entire trip. We will be out there for two weeks! I am so excited to have the help of my parents in caring for the kids! I may actually get to spend some quality time with Will and with Brad. We haven't had a moment to ourselves since Ady was born, so we would like to take an evening out when we are there!
Other than that, nothing too new to report. We do have Ady's 2 month doctor's appointment and Will's 18 month doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. I will report on their growth and development according to the doctor!!

4th of July
We spent six days in Alexandria with Brad's family for the 4th of July. Will had so much fun playing in the sand and in the water. He had so much to do, he was up at 5 am almost everyday, saying, "side, side" for outside. He loved spending time with his grandparents and also wanting to be one of the "big boys" like his cousins.
Unfortunately, Ady and I spent most of our time indoors due to the wind and the weather. We did get to hang out outside a couple of the mornings before the wind came up. It was wonderful. Also, it was nice to have a little bit a break a couple of the evenings as grandma Barb took Ady and "wrestled" her for me. She takes a lot of energy and I appreciate the break!!
Anyway, we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to heading back to the lake in a couple of weeks!
