What a week!

I guess you could say this week started off with a bang! Over the weekend, we took Molly to the urgent care and she had an ear infection. By Tuesday, Brent and Miles were not feeling well so we decided to go to sick bay that morning. I am so thankful for our pediatricians office. They have sick bay in the morning from 8 until 9 and you can drop in without an appointment. I decided to go ahead and let the doctor take a look at Maddie too because she had been really fussy for a few days. Turns out, Maddie had a double ear infection, Miles had an ear infection and a bit of a respiratory infection, and Brent had a very red throat (possibly strep.) So 4 out of 6 members of our family are on antibiotics! Emma and I are trying to stay clear of the germs!!! Everyone seems to be feeling better these days but Maddie is still really fussy and wants to be held. On top of that, she doesn't want to sleep at night. We have had a few tough nights, but I'm hoping they get better really soon!
On Monday, (before Miles got sick!) we went over to Jennifer's for a little while. Miles got to play with Caden, which is one of his favorite things to do! Ashley came and brought Annabelle and Adelyn too! Here is a picture of Maddie and Adelyn...(I am sure not all of their playdates will be this calm :)! )



Because Maddie has not been feeling well these past few days, we have been holding her alot. Right before she falls asleep she sometimes cries really hard. One night she was really upset and Brent was holding her. For some reason he had to go upstairs for something and the second he started walking on the stairs, she stopped crying and fell asleep. Soooo, now if we have trouble getting her to calm down and go to sleep, guess what we do!!! We walk up and down the stairs until she falls asleep! I know...it sounds crazy, but, it works! Here are a few pictures of Brent "walking the stairs!" And, hey, what a great way for me to lose the rest of my baby weight! But that is a whole other story!!!




Here are a few pictures from when my mom was here. I couldn't get the pics posted on the other blog entry!
