New CD players and a Check Up

Courtesy of Grandma, Avery and Spencer have brand new-very awesome and much needed-CD players!! Thank you so much, Grandma...these will get lots and lots of use:)

This one's for Spencer. You may recognize this fella from cars...this is the coolest kids CD player. Where the eyes are is where it opens to put the CD in and the wheels are the speakers!!

Just posting a pic of Spencer's name on his wall...we finally got these hung up. The letters have basketballs, footballs, soccer and baseballs on them.

We finally have Avery's room finished after she moved into it 6 months ago!! These are her princess decals on the wall.

A few princess decals on her closet door...

Here's her new CD player! The middle of the flower opens for the CD...she's really into Tinkerbell right now and just loved this! Now to make sure and keep it out of her reach so she doesn't break this one!

We also finally got Avery's name hung in her room...I decorated these letters while Spencer was in the hospital to occupy myself-when they were in the nursery, they were just white.

Such a silly girl:) She got ahold of one of my velcro rollers and discovered-very quickly-that it would stick to her hair...she had so much fun with this!!

Spencer had his second check up with his pediatric surgeon today. He's gaining weight really well, weighing in at 11lbs 5.5oz with only 9 days to go until he's 3 months old!! We got the OK to go ahead and start transitioning him to regular formula-which means we mix his pregestimil with regular formula for awhile and monitor his bowel movements very carefully (to make sure he is properly absorbing the food). It's so stressful and my nerves are really frazzled right now. I still worry about his heart murmur (PFO) and he still has hydrocele (fluid around his testicles) which is really making me nervous that it hasn't gone away yet-there is a chance that it will have to surgically be taken care of if it doesn't absorb on its own...oh lord:( So, overall his appointment went really well. We are focusing right now on getting him transitioned. He's had two feedings today with the mix-he threw up once after the second one so I a bit worried. I guess we'll have to see. If the transition doesn't go well...he'll be on pregestimil until he transitions to milk. My worry is that if this transition doesn't go well, how will he transition to solids and milk-man I am just in a pretty worried state of mind right now.

In Avery news...she's seriously getting smarter every day and continuing to amaze us with everything she does and knows!! She had a few falls today and has ended up with a pretty serious fat lip-I think she has the soul of a fearless little boy sometimes:) The timeout chair has been our friend lately due to Avery's LOUD screams when she's mad or frustrated-it's seriously earth shattering noise! Due to mommy's very nervous demeanor this week, we have decided to postpone potty training. I just don't think I'm ready! We continue to talk about the potty and give her the option of sitting on it, but we aren't getting serious-I'm going to wait until she's 2 and really seems to be interested!!

Enjoy the second half of the week:) xo, steph
