Well our visitor has come and gone and life is back to boring old us. Nothing like a visitor to make you get out and see the area. Tori had a good time and she said she really liked New Jersey.
Nick is recovering from a really bad poison ivy (or sumac?) rash. It is all over both arms and the lower part of his legs. It may have come from the yardwork and weeding he did in our backyard a few weeks ago but what's strange is that it would have taken 2 weeks to react. It started as a raised red itchy rash that turned into watery blisters. Grossed out yet? Just as he thought it was going away, he woke up with more all over. He finally went to the doctor and was given a few prescriptions. We also now have a professional to do the yardwork and yes, we warned him of the poison oak, ivy, or sumac we have.
Andrew is going through a very defiant stage. Yesterday I had put him in his room for a nap. What usually happens is that he'll play for 30 minutes or so then he'll end up climbing into his toddler bed when he gets tired. Well yesterday I went to check on him thinking I'd find him asleep but he had actually climbed into Lauren's crib and had disassembled her music mobile. He had also removed and emptied his dresser drawers and unplugged the baby monitor so I didn't hear any of this going on. Ay Carumba!
Lauren is just starting to sit unassisted and she is good for a few minutes before she'll tip over. I was playing some music and she started "dancing" by bobbing her head and wiggling her body. It was really cute. Still no sign of any teeth, hoping maybe this is the month.
I'm joining a local mom's club so that I can meet others and hopefully get out for some socializing & interesting outings with the kids.
This is exciting! Blogspot has just enabled video uploads so now you can see the Nudells in live action! Now, if I did it right there there should be a video below. I picked a video that I had already of the kids taking a bath just to test the feature out. I'll be taking many more! Now you can see them crying, eating, rolling over, babbling, etc! Just what you've always wanted ;-) As for other goings on.... Nick is still taking regular trips to Kalamazoo, Michigan and in the near future he'll begin regular trips to Cherry Hill, New Jersey for additional implants. We're still making decorative improvements to the house one wall, floor, room at a time. Nick and I are looking forward to a night out in Manhattan next Friday night. We're going to see a band called Blaqk Audio at the Manhattan Grand Ballroom in NYC. It will be such a novelty being out for the evening without the kids. It's funny the little things you take for granted before you become a parent. Stay tuned for more videos!
