New Boots and Nebulizers

Yesterday we were at the mall with Nate, Joy, & William and found these cool boots on sale at a favorite store of mine (and they were cheaper than Target!) so I bought a pair for Joe...

...she hasn't stopped wearing them...

While walking her pal Louie...

While playing in the house...

And even first thing this morning while still in PJs!

Now for the nebulizer... I went to the allergist today! Hurray! They did the "blow out the candles" test on me, and I failed. So they hooked me up to a nebulizer - oh sweet loving! It was amazing how well I could breathe afterward! And then they had me do the breath test again to and I did much better (I went from 53% to 92% - I don't know exactly what that means, I just know I can think now without it hurting!)

Basically I told the doctor we just moved to this area and they smiled and nodded, as if to say, "We're so sorry, but that's normal down here."

3 prescriptions, 2 samples, and a inquiry for a nebulizer later and I'm hopeful that I won't be so light headed, breathless, and ill anymore!

Graham playing with Dad and Joe

I love how he communicates with us now! He asked Rob to play this game by doing his pointer finger and saying "baba" - so fun!

Proud to be from MI

Today I felt like showing a little MI pride while doing our errands. And it just so happened that I was stopped by a Target employee... actually she listened in on my correction of JoeAnna ("you need to listen to mommy because I want to protect you and keep you safe, if you choose to obey and listen to my voice - you will be able to choose a treat in the check-out line, if you choose to disobey and you do not listen to my voice - you will forfeit your reward and you will not get a treat in the check-out line"). She followed us a ways and then asked if we were really from MI and where; she was from MI too! She encouraged me as a mom saying it was so nice to hear a mom talking to her child that way - that we reminded her of MI just by our example.

Way to go Michiganders! We miss you!

Graham being silly...

Okay so I started to put lotion on Graham today, and he looked so surprised by it - which is when I realized that the poor child barely ever gets lotion on his skin. JoeAnna got "lotioned up" every day! Poor Graham, at least I think maybe he doesn't mind.

Also, I wanted to post this picture for 2 reasons. #1 Can someone tell me, is the faux hawk "so ten minutes ago" or can he still pull it off? And #2, yes he wears clothes everyday! I know the last 3-4 posts have shown him in only a diaper! Ahh!!

Btw, he's crawling...

Graham has been crawling for the past 3 weeks and I forgot to announce it! So sorry. He's been trying to be mobile for so long that I was sure he'd walk instead of learning to crawl, but he gave in and started crawling. You'll see in the video, those of you who remember how JoeAnna crawled, he crawls just like her! They must be related :)
