Parker (2 months)
Poor baby Parker had a bit of a rough week.
After the cold passed, he got a pretty good cough early in the week. He even lost his voice for an evening. His appetite plummeted by midweek so we went to the Pediatrician. Apparently since he is a preemie his lungs can't handle the post-cold stuff like the rest of us. So he was given a nebulizer to help break up the phlegm that getting stuck and make sure he can breath.
We had to give it to him every 4 hours so we're back to a rough sleep schedule. This means sneaking in a few of these whenever possible!
By the end of the week, Parker was feeling better so we can cut back on the nebulizer some. Our pediatrician said it can take 4 weeks for the illness to run its course but hopefully it won't take that long!
In other Parker news, he is starting to outgrow his newborn size clothes so we are adding a few 0-3 month options to the rotation. Parker is very good at getting mom to change his outfit 5 times each day so having some more options is very helpful ;) We are still using Newborn diapers during the day, mainly because we still have lots left and diapers are expensive!
Here are a few Parker pictures from this week.

Carter (20 months)
Carter had a typical toddler week. Lots of activity, books, balls, music, showing independence and a few tears. Carter's teacher made a point to mention how far his vocabulary has come. He has added a few colors to his repertoire this week. His favorite word this week is "No" and his favorite song is the "Wheels on the Bus". He can do all the hand motions. His favorite is "sshhh". Carter also said the first three word sentences that mom/dad could understand: "What is it?" and "I Love You".
He seems to really be bonding with his friends at school. He has been actively playing with someone when picked up each day this week. One day, he and two friends were wrestling on the floor. Carter was on the bottom and dying laughing. Boys will be boys!
Here are a few pictures of Carter from this week.
