An Update

So I am not sure of the last update I left . Everyone is finally over all this sickness stuff. Silas has been teething which is his big issue thank god for baby orajel, wet washclothes and teething rings and don’t let me forget tylenol every ounce in a blue moon. I am not crazy about giving him tylenol yet so we just stick to the baby orajel. It seems to be doing the trick and his top gums are just as lumpy as can be. Poor little guy that has to suck.

Lucian is doing much better all sickness gone ear infection gone and all is good besides he is still teething to. He is getting so big so fast. He is babbling all kinds of new words and is really starting to get brave with the walking thing and I am so ready. He is so smart. Silas has his own temperament. He is a good baby and is mellow for the most part unless he is hungry or doesn’t feel well then he is a bear. Other than that he is very alert and getting very big. He goes to the doctor this Friday for his two month shots and check up! I think we might be switching his formula again because this one is not helping with the gas situation. Maybe the spit up part but not the gas. So we will see.

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us it means so much and was and still is needed. I need good solid prayer until after January 25th. So far all prayers have been answered.

Lexi and Jordan are doing well. Lexi getting to big for her own good. Jordan I have a time with him sometimes with his autism. Autism is just a hard thing to deal with. And he has autism spectrum disorder so there are a few different things affected. He is so defensive and gets upset for no reason some times. Telling him n sometimes is a huge fit. You pretty much no if you tell him no ahead of time that your going to deal with a horrible fit. There are other times he will cry just about anything. Like randomly about our dog that passed away over 2 years ago. Lots of different things. Then there is that with somethings he is just not at a 8 year olds understand ing he is more at like a 6 year old at understanding certain things. And he rambles alot and sometimes says things that make n since what so ever. It breaks my heart when he gets upset and says things like mom you just hurt my feelings your making me sad. Sometimes he will get very hateful but when I stop him and say your not speaking very nice words or correct whatever his actions were at the time and then tell him to go think about it in his room he will usually come out in about 10 to 15 minutes and then tell me he is sorry and we will discuss it. I guess the biggest frustration of all is him just not paying attention. I can tell him something 5 times and I will have to tell him another 5 before it gets accomplished. It gets frustrating, but the only way to really get anything accomplished is by staying calm. Spanking is not really an option with him it makes things WAY worse so it just doesn’t happen and really never has had to happen. I have never had to spank any of my kids really. Maybe a pat on the butt when they were really little but that is about it. With Lucian all you really have to do is sa ahh ahh ahh and he will stop but he has been trying me lately to see what he can get by with. He kept slamming my cabinet doors in our kitchen and i had told him no and so I sat him on the couch and he would get up and after about 3 times of putting him there he sat there and then he understood. He is so smart. And of coarse Silas he is to young to understand!!! But he is a smart boy.

It has been so cold out side. This morning was horrible, I woke up Silas and Lucian woke up at the same time. I had to take out the dog and it was so icy I fell down the stairs on my butt all the way down as the dog drug me. Talk about mad. Our steps and side rails were a solid sheet of ice. So not a good time. Then I go to get the kids dressed and Lexi was throwing a fit about what she wanted to wear. Then our stupid coffee pot decided to stop working so I had no coffee. Not good not good. Talk about the wrath coming through, that topped my mood.

But all in all so far everything is ok. I will be back with updates when I can Silas is calling for me he is a little attention getter.
