WALKING!!!

So, while updating the blog about Jacer not walking yet, Chad informed me that Jace is now walking!! Chad said that he walked all the way across the living room! YAY!

Sick of being sick!!!

Well, after about a month or so, we are all finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...

We are all feeling much better now and couldn't be happier about it! I was the last one of the group to get it pretty bad, but everything's starting to clear up. Even Jace, who we took into the doctor last Friday because we were starting to get concerned again, is feeling much better. The doctor said that Jace has just been unable to get rid of it completely since he's in daycare. He (and every other child in the neighborhood) was so kind and shared with everyone that he came into contact with. Spreading it around and around.....and around.

But things are starting to look up (again). At least this time the throwing up and the runny noses have stopped. HOORAY!!!

The hard part now will be trying to catch up in school with all the excitement we've had and the classes Chad and I have missed. (I myself had to drop a class just so that I could stay in the others!) Fun fun fun... isn't daycare great?!?

Here Comes Trouble

Jace took his first steps at his own b-day party! He took about 3-4 steps and has been doing only up to about 6 since then. So he's not really walking yet, but he's getting there. He stands up a lot on his own, thinks about it, and then either falls down, or takes a couple steps THEN falls down.
Maybe he's planning on skipping the walking and going straight to the running. :)

Jacer Speedracer #1!

Jacer turned 1!! It's hard to believe that he's one already... and he's so big! Last year flew!

And since it went by so fast, I am finding it hard to deal with the fact that my baby boy won't be a baby anymore. I am REALLY enjoying the baby stage. (A little too much, maybe.) Not that I didn't enjoy it with Kala, it's just so different with Jace. Chad and I feel comfortable as parents. We know what we're doing - or at least know how to handle things - and with Kala, we were so new to it all. We spent half the time worrying and trying to figure things out. Now that that part's over, we have been able to just sit back and enjoy all the baby stages - and it's so much fun!

I love the 3 1/2 year age difference in Mykala and Jace, too, it's perfect. Mykala is old enough to play on her own, help take care of Jace, figure things out, communicate with us, and yet is still just a kid. And the two are absolutely crazy about each other and have a great time playing together. I'm really going to miss it.

These really are the good days!!

Birthday

Oh yeah.... in between sick kids, school, and being sick ourselves, we realized that Jacer's birthday is coming up! Little kid's gonna be ONE!! Can you believe it?! :) :)
We're really excited (and shocked) about it, but unfortunately, we're not going to do anything big. We're just too busy! We're just going to have a mini party for him this Sunday and let him have his own little cupcake...nothing big or fancy. But we'll take lots of pictures. :D

Visit to the Doctor

Jace started showing signs of not feeling good (a couple days after we thought he was getting better) so we took him to the doctor yesterday after he threw up a couple times. Turns out poor little Jacer has an ear infection. We now have some antibiotics to help fight it off and even after a day we're starting to see a difference. He still is very clingy, but he's starting to look like he feels better (again). Yay!

We just can't wait until this is all over!! Poor little kid's been sick for almost 2 weeks!
