Santa Time



We took both kids to see Santa a couple of weeks ago. Roo kept saying that she was "a little bit scared" so I was assuming that the picture would be of a baby and hysterical little girl. But then Roo saw that Santa had candy canes. Apparently candy takes priority over fear.



Both kids were great and Roo had a chance to tell Santa that she really wanted a bike. He guessed a pink bike with a basket and bell. She immediately corrected him and said "no, no Santa. A ORANGE bike with a PINK basket." My kid is, if nothing else, specific with her requests. So Friday we will know, has Roo been a good enough girl to get the bike of her dreams? Probably.

I am still holding onto hope for a future football scholarship. We shall see...

Our lives will continue to be vomit-ful, with no end in sight. His doc says it will be a month or two before we see any real improvement. Until then we will use rice cereal in his bottles, keep giving him Zantac and keep doing laundry. Lots and lots of laundry.

Fun with Reflux

Yep, baby Calvie has reflux. For all of you out there that have experienced this daily challenge with a newborn you understand what a pain it can be. For those of you that haven't experienced I hope you don't ever have to.

Cal isn't as bad as other babies I have known. He doesn't cry hysterically or freak out when he throws up, which makes the whole thing more of a laundry problem than anything else. This morning he went throu
