Well, we'd have written sooner, but we've gotten pretty busy the last couple weeks. I started my first online class...Student
Development 100 (it's required to start independent study). So I've been working on that whenever I have a chance and we have been spending lots of time outside swimming. I think today is the first day that we didn't go outside because I decided it was time to catch up on the house work.
Park has cut another tooth and is army crawling everywhere as fast as he can. Which is pretty fast. He has also started pulling himself up on his bouncy chair and
car seat, since they are low enough to the ground. He can sit by himself now, but he never wants to. If he is being held he wants to stand and if not he wants to be moving around.
Annicka makes us laugh everyday with her little antics. Her favorite thing to do is have mommy and daddy bonk their heads on the door every night when we go into her room to say family prayer. She has started to say prayers by herself now, without any help. She has also started thanking Heavenly Father for Matthew, Carter and Mason (her cousins) every night. She also loves to play with Park, especially since he is moving around now. He'll crawl after her everywhere and she'll say, "come on, Park, let's go!"
Yesterday morning Park woke up with hives everywhere. He is acting perfectly normal, but he looks like he has to be itchy. I called the pediatrician and they said it might be something viral that he is having a reaction to, since there isn't anything that I can think of that I have given him new to eat in the last week. All we can do is give him Benadryl and wait it out. Unless of course something worse happens like swollen joints, fever or trouble breathing. The sad thing is that these pictures were taken only a few minutes ago and he has been on the benadryl for 36 hours. No signs of improvement yet, the poor kid. I'm sure everything will be okay though.
