Just keep swimming...

Sydney finished up another session of swimming lessons today. She is making so much progress. She still is hesitant and very cautious, but is definitely getting braver. She loves her teacher Mr. Kenny and he is really good with her. Here are some pictures from today!

15 Month check -up



Ashton had his 15 month check-up today. He is getting so big. I can hardly believe how fast he is growing! He weighs 22 lbs 5 oz and is 32" tall. He is in the 25% for weight and 75% for height. His doctor says that he will be tall and skinny. He is developing just right but is slightly at the lower end with his gross motor skills (climbing, etc.) which I'm ok with. Sydney wasn't even walking at this age so I'm not too worried. We have recently been concerned with his eyes. He gets really teary and the tears don't seem to drain. I asked the doctor today and she said that his tear ducts are plugged in both eyes, which actually means that one of the valves connecting to the ducts is not opening. We have to massage it with our finger 3 times a day for the next 3 months to try to see if they will open. If they don't open by his 18 month check up his doctor is going to refer us to an ophthalmologist and they will have to go in and surgically fix it. The thought of any surgery on my little baby just makes me heart race, but I know that it will be a very simple procedure and I'm just glad that it is something that is easily fixed. We are hopeful that the massaging will open the valves. Other than that he is a perfectly healthy boy!

Go Cougars!

Last night we went as a family to the BYU vs. Air Force basketball game. The kids had a blast watching the Falcons mascot. Ashton wouldn't take his eyes off of him. When he finally came toward our section I took him down to see him. He just about jumped out of my arms to get away from him. Apparently just a fan from afar. Syd cried when she first saw him, but finally calmed down. I'm not sure what it is with my kids and mascots, scary things I guess. We also got to see and pet the actual falcon that Air Force has. Syd was scared (of course) and wouldn't touch it. But Ashton petted it and so did I. It was kind of neat.

As for the game, BYU killed Air Force, so Michael enjoyed that. I didn't actually watch much of the game, but I had a blast watching the kids get so excited about the birds! Apparently it was a pretty good game though. Better luck next time Air Force.
