Brandon's birthday and other updates.

Yesterday was Brandon's 26th birthday. Saturday evening we had a little party for him and his friends, and yesterday he had to work for a few hours, then we hung out at home with the boys.

Friday we took Noah back into the doctor for his ear infection. He was refusing to swallow his medicine (most of it went to the dog who eagerly waited by Noah for each dose ready to lick it up when Noah spit it all out). Friday we decided to let his body try and fight the infection on his own since he was acting fairly normal. Today we took him back in to have them re-checked and the infection is almost gone in both ears.

In other updates...Noah just had a growth spurt and can now reach drawers and tabletops that he used to be unable to reach. Mommy didn't realize how tall he had gotten until he got a knife out of the silverware drawer while mommy was getting lunch ready. Needless to say, we have a lot more toddler proofing to do this week!

Eli is also growing fast! He will be 7 weeks tomorrow and is already filling out his 3 month clothes. He is much bigger than Noah was at this age which actually works out perfectly since (assuming his growth continues as it is) he should be able to fit into all of Noah's 6-12 month summer clothes from last year so we wont have to get anything new for summer!
