Miller man got fitted for his head shaping helmet. We got to the orthotics and prosthetics office and they warned us that children hate being fitted for the helmet. They said they always scream and cry, but not to worry. Miller did great! They put this thing over his head that looked like a piece of pantyhose and then they wrapped pieces of cloths around his head. It reminded me of paper mache. They left it on for a couple minutes and took it off before it hardened all the way. It was interesting. Miller didn't mind it at all, as you can see in the picture below. He just smiled and laughed. The office took a ton of pictures of their happiest helmet patient. Now Declan, on the other hand, wasn't too sure of what they were doing to his baby brother. The look on D's face is priceless!
The weather here has been terrible! Coldest winter we've had in a long time. We take advantage of the few nice days that come along and take trips to the park. Declan loves the park now. The bigger the slide, the better to him. (I'll admit the big boy slides make me a bit nervous, but we always have 1 person with him at top and 1 at the bottom to catch him)
On the cold dreary days, we like to watch movies and play with the Radio Flyer wagon.
We cheered on the Seahawks during the Superbowl. Thomas is from Washington and loves his Seahawks. I sent this text to him when I asked Siri who won the Superbowl.
I've been reading Jesus Calling (and loving it!) and this one especially stuck out to me yesterday. Yesterday morning Declan snuck a piece of waffle from breakfast and gave it to Miller without me seeing. Miller started choking and I had to bend him over and pull the piece of waffle out of his throat. Scared me silly. I had a major meltdown and cried for hours. My mom had to come over to help me calm down. The thing that stuck out to me the most during the incident is that I was sitting right there beside them and it still happened. We now have a new rule that Declan's hands and pockets must be checked before he leaves the table.
Lately jealousy has reared its ugly head here in our house. I think now that Miller is sleeping less during the day and is crawling (yes, crawling!!), he is getting more attention from mommy. And Declan doesn't like that one bit. I spend a good portion of my day breaking up brother fights. They are especially bad about fighting over one particular toy truck.
I spent some time last night giving extra attention to my first born baby. He loved it.

Another park picture. Miller loves swinging. I can't wait until warmer weather so we can spend more time outside. We are all getting cabin fever.
Keep Declan in your prayers tomorrow morning. He is having tubes put in his ears. I know it's a simple procedure, but that's my baby boy and I'm still nervous!
