Cael's first sloppy joe
Cael is now eating normal people food. At first he would eat whatever we gave him but now he has to eat whatever we are eating. If he doesn't get what we have he throws a fit!
Poor Miller!
WARNING!!! Before you look at the pictures - be prepared for your butt to tingle when you see them.
Several weeks ago Miller got cauliflower ear again. If you remember he got it in Puerto Rico and had surgery. When he got it we took him to the vet & had it drained. A few day later it came back & his ear was huge! We called around & got the best price for another surgery. Courtney took him in 2 weeks ago today. When he brought him home he said, "Miller has a button in his ear!" I had no idea what he was talking about. When I got to see him he had the huge cone around his head. I couldn't believe he left it on! That night I saw his ear. There isn't 1 button, there aren't 3 buttons, there are 6 buttons....on EACH SIDE of his ear!! 12 buttons in his ear!!!! Yes people I mean buttons. Like buttons on your shirt or pants. According to the vet it will cut down on the scar tissue & it should pop back up. We were supposed to get the buttons out the following Wednesday but they didn't take them out. So we were supposed to get them out last Saturday....but they didn't take them. The finally took the buttons out yesterday. He still has to wear the cone until tomorrow night to keep him from scratching at it while it continues to heal. Poor baby!!!

¡De nada españa!
We don't usually watch soccer but we did watch the finals of the World Cup. The day of the finals I was trying to get Cael dressed. He has 2 soccer jerseys: Spain & Brasil. So that day I was trying to get him dressed & he was being a pill. He was crawling all over, wanted to climb on everything & wanted to play with all of his toys. I finally got him to sit down and we had a talk. I said, "Son, the entire country of Spain is counting on you to put this jersey on. If you don't they won't win! You didn't wear your Brasil jersey & look what happened to them!!" After he looked at me like I was a crazy woman & Courtney laughed at me (he was listening through the monitor) he put the jersey on. We went out & watched the rest of the game. And for those of you who haven't heard...Spain won!! You're welcome Spain!

The Dills were here!
Well actually they were in Salina & Minneapolis. They were headed to Colorado, South Dakota, etc., etc. so they stopped for a visit since we were on their way. It was a lot of fun to finally get to see Hattie & Cael together. And yes, we were right, it was love at first sight!! They got to Sharon's house Wednesday evening & we just hung out for a while. Hattie, Cael & AJ were playing. Hattie was so funny because she would take things out of Cael's hands & say, "Mine!" and then lean over & kiss him. He didn't seem to mind. He just moved on & played with something else. Well, then AJ started doing the same thing!! Poor Cael - outnumbered by girls! Courtney, Brent & Curt went to go get beer so after the kiddos went down Kate & I got to hang out & talk. It was just like old times! Here are AJ & Cael playing before the Dills arrived.
Thursday morning we got up & went to Rock City. Brent could hardly contain himself he was so excited!! We had fun going into the gift shop (did you know they had one of those?) and then walking around the rocks.
After Rock City we headed to Rolling Hills. It had been 7 years since Courtney & I went there. For those of you who don't know, Rolling Hills is basically a zoo. We had a lot of fun & the kids were great!! They each had their moments of being fussy - especially when it was lunch time - but all in all they did great! We got to feed the giraffes which was fun. Unfortunately only 2 prairie dogs came out. We went to the petting zoo & Cael loved it!! Curtis held him so he could feed the animals & pet them. A bunch of the animals licked him & he laughed every time! Both kids fell asleep in the car on the way home & slept for another hour or so once we got back to Sharon's.
After the kids woke up from their naps we drove to Salina to stay at a hotel. We went to dinner with Calvin & Donna. Hattie & Cael sat by each other & even shared some food! Courtney got up to go to the bathroom & Hattie said, "Bye bye" and then Cael said it!! Plain as day!! Everyone at the table just looked at him. Of course he hasn't done it since. After that we went back to the hotel & went swimming. It was Cael's first time in a pool! It was his first time even in swim trunks!! He did really good & seemed to enjoy himself. Hattie let him borrow her floaty & he was so funny! He always crosses his feet...even in the water! He just laid back & relaxed. The next morning we got up & had breakfast and went swimming again. Then we had lunch before the Dills left. The kids loved each other the whole time. They were kissing each other & playing. They are going to be coming back through this way this week so we'll get to see them again. Knowing that made saying goodbye much easier! Courtney made the comment that since we've been back from Puerto Rico we haven't seen the Dills where at least one of us was not pregnant. The first time we saw them we were both pregnant, the 2nd time I was pregnant & Hattie had just been born and this time Kate's pregnant!! And it's a girl!!! Don't worry, the Marsh family is not planning on joining this time!

The Last Several Weeks...
We have had a crazy busy last several weeks since Cael's birthday. I've been tutoring 3 days a week for 2 hours each day. Next week I will tutor for 3 hours 2 days a week so that will be interesting. Cael has been going to daycare 3 days a week. I hate that he's having to go to daycare during the summer but if we have to pay for it he's going to go! And it has been kind of nice because we've been able to get lots of things done without interruption.
We've expected a lot of Mr. Boy in the last couple of weeks, too. But he has been a trooper as usual! Last weekend we drove to Minneapolis on Friday afternoon which is a 3 hour drive. The next morning we drove 4 hours to Meade for the funeral of my Great Uncle Sid. I needed to be there because he was also my Godfather & he & Great Aunt Norma always made an effort to come see my things. They came to my high school graduation & then again for my wedding. It was nice for Cael to get to meet some relatives, too. Driving for that long means he did not take a nap. He slept for about 45 minutes after the lunch and that was it. On the way home we stopped in Larned for him to meet the Johnsons. He did sleep for the last 2 hours of our trip but still that was 8 hours in a car in 1 day - poor baby! Here's a picture of Cael with his Great Great Aunt Norma.
Here's a picture of us before we left to come home & then one of the cousins that were there.
This is Cael on Sunday morning eating his first powder sugar donut. Yum!
Cael has been doing better with sleeping longer at night but now he is having night terrors! They are awful! It is heartbreaking to watch him go through them. That is why I'm up blogging & have been since 6:30 this morning. He woke up having one at 12:30 and then again at 6:00. That's the first time he's had 2 in one night. I hope he grows out of them soon!! We head back to Minneapolis tonight to see the Dills!!! They are on their way to Colorado & South Dakota so they're going to make a pit stop here. We'll be with them until Friday evening & we can't wait!! We'll finally get to see Hattie & Cael together....will it be love at first sight?! Stay tuned for pictures!
