10 Months

I honestly cannot believe that John is 10 months old. Isabella getting older month to month isn't so shocking anymore (although it certainly will be when she hits 2) but every month with John is so hard. Maybe because he's had such a rough year, I don't know. I think his first birthday is going to be really emotional (okay as I type I'm starting to cry so I know it'll be emotional.) 10 months ago he sat in the hospital on CPAP struggling to breath, he really has come a long way but at the same time he isn't doing nearly as well as I would have liked.

He's actually had a really good two days which is great. I've come down with an awful cold and my throat is killing me so Corey watched the kids today while I rested. Luckily they were both really good. I was quite bummed that we had to cancel family day, but as luck would have it Monday is a holiday (Pioneer Day) so we've rescheduled our activities for then. I'm just hoping I'll feel better by then, I feel a lot worse this evening than I did this morning though. And I'm really hoping no one else comes down with it, especially Corey since he has to work and he's a total wimp when he gets sick.

I had something exciting happen this past week that is my own weird little milestone. I've always felt John got a bit overlooked with things. There's tons of pictures of Isabella and just not quite as much of John, but the past two times I took pictures off my camera there were a bunch of John and none of Isabella. It's weird I know but it makes me feel good. I think it's because we haven't gone anywhere, John picture gets taken at home and Isabella's when we go out and do stuff. Which reminds me I really need to take the kids to Sears to have portraits taken, it has been WAY too long. Maybe I'll do that when my sister comes to visit next month. She's coming to visit for a week and I'm so excited. I get plenty bored alone all day and I'm really looking forward to some company. Plus I haven't seen her since Isabella was 2 months old and she's never met John.


John watching tv, he scooted himself all the way up to the tv just to watch. It's his new thing, luckily he hardly watches television so his eyes will be spared.
