Plugging along

The craziness in the Phillips household continues and we are keeping up as best as we can. Ethan's mouth injury is pretty much completely healed and at this point he has not had the injured tooth removed. The dentist wants to take a "wait and see approach" and he has a cleaning on Monday so they will check it then. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it remains status quo but have a feeling it will need to be removed at some point. Ethan does not seem fazed by the tooth and goes about his daily routine. He is getting so excited about his birthday next week and even more excited about his birthday party in 2 weeks. Time flies, can't believe he is going to be 3!
Eli is growing like a weed. I brought him to the doctor last week as he continues to be very congested and wanted to make sure it was nothing serious. He checked out fine and weighed in at 10 pounds 1 oz. That means in the month since he was born he has gained just about 3 pounds...the kid can eat! He is getting much more alert and Ethan just loves playing with him trying to make him smile. Eli is smitten by his older brother and will turn his head whenever he hears Ethan's voice and wants to watch whatever he is doing. Sleeping is slowly getting better though often I find Eli sleeping in bed with me when I am too tired to rock him back to sleep. Someday we'll get back to sleeping through the night and in our own beds!
Bryan's new job is going great, and there are opportunities available that he was not expecting which is encouraging. Yet, he is putting in some long hours which makes for long days for both of us, but we knew that would be the case. Hopefully as he gets going, things will calm down a bit more. Since I haven't posted pictures recently, here are some of my favorite pictures.
