Vomit, Vomit....and more Vomit!

This picture should of been posted with the Christmas pictures...but this is for my mom as I don't have too many of the two of them together...I never have my camera handy when I'm with my mom for some reason...anyway..this was taken on Christmas Eve at Mom's house...

Ok...I am feeling way guilty for not blogging in over a week...yes we were busy, busy over the holidays. Lots of fun...but now we are all paying for the fun...Kaylee woke up Saturday night vomiting...an hour later I hear a scream from Brayden (I have ONLY heard this scream once before and that was when he was circumcised)...yes he starting vomiting...lovely...two kids sick at once...I have had two kids sick right after another but NOT at the same exact hour...so yes I was up all night with the two of them...Come Monday...Kaylee was feeling much better and so was Brayden...until today...Husband Jared came down with it HARD and this afternoon Kaylee relapsed on me at the grocery store....LOVELY...CLEAN UP in front of MEAT DEPARTMENT! She was embarrassed...I was embarrassed...Cody was embarrassed...So , I am just PRAYING Cody and I DO NOT get it!

On to more fun things to talk about...Brayden had PT again last week and did so well...It was like he had remembered all things from the week before and performed like a champ. He is definately well on his way to being able to sit up all by himself...he can now for a few seconds, then gives into gravity and falls but we are still working on it. He is definately getting around mainly by rolling, but is starting to shift his body while on his tummy to get to where he wants to go! He FINALLY started saying MAMA a couple of weeks ago...it was the cutest thing too! I was giving him a bath and when I sat him up, he looked straight into my eyes and said," MaMa"....now he is saying DaDa...MaMa...BahBah...WahWah...Lalalala....He is always talking...it is really cute!

We had a Blast on New Years Eve...we headed up to our friends Jeff and Christi's near Auberry and had a wonderful steak dinner...played some games and Rang in the new year with all of the kids blowing horns and wearing New Years Hats! (I forgot my camera, still upset about that)...my kids who usually go to bed by 7pm....stayed up until 1:15am...We could not believe it!

We recovered from lack of sleep on Friday...we are not much of night owls... My in-laws came over to play one of my favorite games, "Cards and Marbles" and of course I won the first game...(I'm not competitive or anything) and my FIL won the second and well everyone was too chicken to try the 3rd game...then we played Apples to Apples with the kids...very fun game for the whole family!

Saturday was Cody's indoor soccer game and they won 7-6! So exciting! Cody made 2 of the 7 goals...very proud of him. We then took the kids rollerskating at the local Cal-skate rink...Kaylee's first time ever and she did great! Cody was speed-racer! Me...well...it has been like 15 years or so since I had rollerskates on...I use to be so good when I was a teenager...I was pretty shaky this time and didn't last as long as I use to!

I am still having trouble uploading pictures...NOT sure what is happening...so I will try and work on it!

I am looking forward to this Friday to meet with a couple other parents at our local Down Syndrome Society and start the "New Parent Packet" Revision. If any of you have been involved with this, please share with me some ideas you may have? I am on this committee and this is our first meeting for the revision...Me being prenatally diagnosed, I would of loved the outreach from local support before giving birth...so this is one of my focuses...but there are many other important Must HAVES for new Parents on this wonderful journey. I will let you know how it all goes.

I hope everyones new year is getting off to a great start!
