Hello friends and family!
\nWe\u2019ve had such a great summer with a visit from Nate\u2019s parents, a family reunion in July, three sets of weekend foster kids, and an upcoming visit from Becca\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n
Benjamin just had his 9 mo well visit. He is overall healthy and ~75% on height, weight, and head circumference. At 22 pounds, he is only about 5 pounds smaller than Hannah. He has been a bit congested and we discovered his first ear infection today. He\u2019ll start antibiotics and hopefully all the congestion will clear up at the same time. He now has 8 teeth! I think he was cutting 4 at once a few weeks ago. He eats just about everything we put in front of him. He is generally very happy and content crawling around on the floor exploring. He\u2019s starting to pull up and cruise so we expect walking soon. He also loves to throw balls and then crawl after them.<\/p>\n
Hannah is talking up a storm. She repeats most of what we say, loves to \u201cread\u201d out loud, and loves to sing. We went through a round of fairly intense \u2018tantrums\u2019, but since we just ignore her when she jumps up and down and turns red, I think she realized they weren\u2019t very useful and they have calmed down. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll have some more bumps in the road, but most days are great.<\/p>\n
We moved the kids into the same bedroom so we wouldn\u2019t disrupt their sleep patterns when we have guests or foster kids. That has been a major blessing this summer since the last time we tried to move Hannah, she wasn\u2019t very adaptable. We also hired a new nanny who we are very pleased with. She has a nursing background and most recently was employed in the infant room at a day care center. Our kids are cake compared to 6 babies at once!<\/p>\n
Nate is going to be on a business trip for 4 days in a few weeks and Becca will have the kids by herself so we would love some prayer for that time. J<\/p>\n
We pray the back to school season is treating you all well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
