I Blame Lent For The Pause In Blogging

I question my sanity as I type the next sentence.  I gave up Diet Coke for lent.  The idea that I have decided to part with caffeine at this time in my life is by far one of the most confusing choices of my existence.  As a result of my dedication to not give in, I have basically been asleep by 8:30 every night.  I am yawning as I type!  So I am going to try and recap the last couple of weeks, must type fast!

First things first, we will no longer be visiting Texas Children's for cardiology.  The check up went really well and we said goodbye!  We are still seeing our local cardiologist, we just feel better in their care.  Steven's heart has healed and is functioning as it should.  The reality is that we should just be seeing Dr. K for a check up annually or every 6 months.  However since the blood pressure is still in need of monitoring we will continue to check in with Dr. K.  We often think that since we are so close to Houston that we should always go there for care.  But in this case, Dr. K and Dr. G are the best :-) 

Now on to some fun facts:

Miller has lost his 2nd tooth.  He lost this one at his dad's and it is believed to have been swallowed.  A note to the tooth fairy explained that it was lost and luckily $5 was under his pillow in the morning. 

Steven has finally cut his 1st tooth.  It is by far the cutest little tooth ever.  It is also long overdue.  For about two months he has had two little buds but no signs of a sharp edge breaking through, then Friday morning there it was starting to shine.  I cannot wait to see when the next one begins to cut, stay tuned!

Steven went non-verbal there for a short while and I was starting to get concerned but his voice is back in all of it's glory!  I read that sometimes as babies focus on one "skill" they seem to stop another, especially common in boys.  As one person pointed out, men do not multi task well and it begins at a very young age.

Steven has started to really move around quickly, but it is not a normal crawl unless you are training in the army.  I am beginning to think that this is going to be his crawl.  He is just a moving and sliding everywhere...time to baby proof, stat!

Mardi Gras was a great time this year and Miller enjoyed the parades and music like I cannot describe.  It was so much fun to watch him having so much fun.  The dance off that he had with one of our friend's was pretty great too! 

Well that is a quick update, I am now pushing 10pm so please ignore all the typos.  Here is a pic of Steven at the parade, I have a great pic of Miller and friends but I hate posting them on a public site.
