February

I apologize for the lack of communication. However February has turned into a very busy month. Aiden's birthday came and went and then I hosted a shower for my good friend Janet and baby Elijah. I haven't felt super camera friendly lately so this is the best I have for right now.
Aiden LOVES balloons and was very excited about his birthday balloons for weeks after. What a crazy 1 year old he is. This week he started actually standing independently for awhile. He definitely has his dad's stubborness (LOL) and will not practice walking at all unless he's cheating with both our hands. He is totally on homo milk now and we are pretty certain his "allergy" was just a harder adjustment to the milk than most kids. He loves to cuddle in our bed and play kissy face. He eats anything, however lately I think he might finally be getting some more teeth and is more picky. He still only has his two bottom teeth. He is pretty funny driving his cars and making the "brummmm" noise.

We had an episode of him breaking my one of the pieces in my lovely Crystal trio from partylite. Ahhh and he ended up cutting his finger. It wouldn't stop bleeding so I tried putting a bandaid on. He wasn't to impressed and did manage to get it off. I love his chubby hands:) Aiden had his 1 year shots today, yuck I always feel sick. He was pretty devastated, the only part was finally weighing him again and he is a whopping 24lbs 4 ounces, 30 1/2 inches long and has a big head! Actually he is in the 75th percentile for everything. So I am happy with my big guy!

Jeremy has been doing well, loves all the company we have been having. It has been a very challenging couple of months and definitely some wondering in there if we want to keep doing this. We definitely want to see Jeremy's placement out, but we have no idea how long it will be and the longer it is the more I worry. We are at a place of certainty that we don't want to have a permanent placement, meaning until he is 18. I honestly don't think I have the patience for the types of needs he has at this point and with some of the symptoms of FAS they only get worse with age. It's been 6 1/2 months and already we see things that are getting worse. However, it will be incredibly diffucult when he leaves. and I choose not to think about that. He is super stoked about a race car party, his birthday is on March 21 and he talks about it everyday, so we are hoping he is at least here until then. There has been alot of shuffle with his workers, so I am assuming it will be awhile yet.
Among other things, I started my new job at the church. This is my second week and it is going well. A lot of stuff to learn and I feel I have only brushed the surface. The boys go to a good friends on Tuesdays and then are with my mom on Fridays. As we drop the boys off on Tuesdays and drive to work together, Jeff and I are so thankful that I don't have to work full-time and admire the tons of people that have that routine everyday!
I am also a new epicure consultant. I love their products and have wanted to sell it for awhile. Epicure is a lot of food items, dip mixes, salad mixes, chocolate products and tons more. I don't want to do this hard core, but if you would like to do a party let me know, I could use the practice. Or if you love the product and just need to replenish I can totally do that as well. There that's my pitch!
Of course this month was the most awesome because my cousin Rosanna came out. What more need I say, breakfast at Wagon Wheel, shopping at Lululemon, dinner and a movie and a lot of talking and treats!
Love you muchly my Rosabella, and miss you tons.

Hopefully I can take some better pics of my boys this week, that's all for now folks!
