Update

Well, Trent has been lethargic at school this week and coughing off and on, progressively getting a worse cough. I took the morning off and took him to the pediatrician. He has pneumonia and we feel awful about it. The doctor says that most it started as a viral infection and lingered around long enough to cause pneumonina. My poor baby has to use an inhaler, take a steroid and an antibiotic for several days. I hope he feels better soon! I hate seeing my boys fight illness!

Trent was so good for the nurse and the doctor while they were checking him out. He took deep breaths for doctor each time he would move his stethoscope to listen to his chest. He was awesome while they did the inhaler on him, taking more deep breaths. The worse part was the swabs in his mouth to rule out strep, but he was even brave for that.

Cole

Our little guy is crawling around like crazy and getting into everything and anything! His favorite thing to do is trying to mess with the electrical cords in our room while I am trying to get ready in the mornings. This makes for quite a chore when I have to keep stopping to move him back to his toys and away from the cords. He is also eating up a storm! I am constantly buying more food for his little, cute butt! He is such a sweet boy and loves being mobile and able to get to his Big Brother. He loves his Big Brother and Trent is finally starting to give him some attention, of course only when he feels like it and it is HIS idea, typical Trent fashion!

MawMaw picked up both boys on Wednesday so I could drop off my sale items for the Just Between Friends sale this weekend. NuNu was able to see Trent and couldn't get over how big and tall he has gotten since the last time she saw him before I went back to work after Cole.

Tired Boy

This is how tired Trent was while shopping at Wal-Mart. He started to lay his head down on the cart and so I put the the package of toilet paper underneath his head. Before we got to the check-out line he was drooling all over the place.

Everyone was looking at him and smiling and feeling so bad for him as we went through the store.

Latest with Trent

Trent is being stubborn as ever these days! Everything is NO or Mine or he wants to do it himself! The 2's definitely have nothing on the 3's!

He doesn't want to wear underwear and hardly wants to pee in the potty, but at school he pees in the potty all day long and stays dry. It is time to mean business!! He is 3 1/2 years old and I am tired of buying him pull-ups!

I got him to pee in the restroom with me at the movies on Saturday and in the potty yesterday at our house, but usually it is a firm NO!

Trent is saying more and more now though and using more words together. This morning he pointed to the TV and said "want it on".

He says:
that one
it hurts
is this mine?
all his colors
counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
knows some of his letters
lots of animals

Latest with Cole

Cole had his check up on Friday and he is looking good. He is on track to be 6'1" like his Daddy one day!

Height: 28.5" (86%)

Weight: 19 lbs 11.7 oz. (65%)

It turns out that he had an ear infection in his right ear and had to get an antibiotic. I would have never known because he had been just as sweet as ever still.

He is now sitting up like a pro since we got back from the ranch on Thursday. As of Saturday he is crawling around good and trying to get into all of his Big Brother's toys, so it is about to get REALLY interesting around our house.

Trevor had to lower his crib yesterday because he is sitting up in his crib and we know it is not long before he thinks about pulling up on the side of it. Better safe than sorry.

He slept through the night for me Friday and Saturday night thank goodness, which was 12 hours of sleep for him. Last night he stayed with his MaMa and had some good one on one time by himself.

Daddy's Little Helper

Cody and Trevor were busy building fences around the feeders so the horses could graze on our property for a while. Trent helped his Daddy out with this project.
If you look in the background you can see Tyler and Wyatt playing around.

Fun at the Ranch

Our Spring Break at the ranch. We took Mom & Tyler along with us for the week and Tyler had a blast just like I knew he would. He got to fish, collect bones, take pictures and play with Trent and Wyatt while the Dads worked on some projects.



Trent busted out one ofhis boots and so we had to duct tape it up for the rest of the visit. He didn't seem to mind at all. He just kept right on a playing.

Spradley House

Well, it has been an eventful week at our house this week. Trent woke up Monday feeling lethargic and not really acting himself. He went to the clinic Monday night and was diagnosed with a right ear infection and had a 102 fever. He stayed home Tuesday to recooperate and seemed good as gold all day Wednesday. When I picked him up Thursday he was laying on the floor in his classroom and didn't want to move to even go home. I had to carry him to the car, not to mention they said he was asleep on the bus when he got back to Chrysalis. He crashed and was snoring as soon as he got into his car seat. We got home and he curled in the fetal position on the couch and wouldn't wake up for anything. Needless to say, I took him back to the clinic. He had a fever and his ear infection looked much better. She said he was most likely fighting something viral and it would need to run its course.

Trent is 38 pounds!

Asleep waiting at the clinic :(

On another note, when I picked up Cole Thursday from Nunu's around his eye was red and swollen and had green goo coming out of his eye. Nunu said when he woyuld get up from naps his little eye was crusty. His behavior was still wonderful though and he didn't seem to feel bad.
It didn't look any better Friday morning. Trevor took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with pink eye....yuck! The doctor said it has been going around like crazy. I am thinking he got it Wednesday when we went out to eat at Taco Cabana and he sat in the high chair and was touching the table for his puffs even though he was in his covered high chair seat and I wiped down the table first. Ugh! The weird thing is Brynn had the same condition with both of her eyes and was told she had a raging ear infection and this was a symptom of it. Cole's ears were good though.

Cole is 7 months now and 20 pounds! Mercy!

This is Cole Friday night....looks really bad!

This is Cole Saturday morning. He looks much better in this picture.
