Ayden and Trent

This house has been full of sick little children the past 2 weeks. Ayden just completed 10 days of antibiotics for a double ear infection and they are both still infected. One even looks worse, so we started a different antibiotic last night. His nasty cough is much improved though. Then last week Trent and I both started coughing. So, I'm assuming Ayden just passed his on to us and now I think we have passed it on to Josh....lovely:) Trent had to go back to the doctor yesterday because his cough was worse and he started wheezing. He sounds so pitiful...he is hoarse from all the coughing. You can barely hear him when he crys. So, he is now taking albuterol treatments for a few days and antibiotics for his ear infection too. But, overall we are great. I really can't complain...there are so many worse things out there.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday so far. We still have some shopping to do this weekend. And its my year to work Christmas eve and Christmas day. But I do get to spend a few hours at home on Christmas morning with the boys to see what Santa brings them before heading off to work. We took the boys to see Santa a couple of weeks ago and thought Ayden would never sit in his lap. He whined the entire time we were in line, but Josh was giving him a pep talk for the whole 45mins we were in line and when we got up to Santa he just jumped up beside him and said he was helping santa hold Trent. It was so cute. Ayden is actually understanding the whole Christmas/Santa thing a bit more this year. He knows that Santa is coming to bring him toys and we have told him he has to leave his passy with Santa's cookies in order to get toys. He doesn't like that idea at all. When we bring that up he says he doesn't want any toys and that Trent can have his toys:) Trent is still growing like a weed. We even backed down on his cereal intake...since we went to the doctor at his 8 week check up and he was weighing in at 14lbs! 10% in height and 90% in weight...I guess we will have a little sumo wrestler in a few years:) He is such a great baby. Even while he has been sick this past week, he is still so easy and sleeps through the night every night...Ayden on the other hand never wants to get out of our bed and wakes up at least once every night:) He is such the typical 2 yr old.

Here are a few new pics...
