funny videos

Here are some funny videos from the last couple of days. I will do a more detailed post later this week.



This video is from Sunday night at my parents' house. Landen didn't get a nap that day and when he was driving the toy Gator he kept falling asleep. Let's hope he doesn't do this when he starts driving larger vehicles!



I got Adellyn giggling this afternoon and I actually caught it on video. It's a little jerky because I was trying to keep eye contact with her so that she would keep giggling. Apparently she thought my laugh was pretty funny.

Illness and more

We have not had a very good week with Landen. He is still sick. On Saturday we noticed he was starting to cough. I kept thinking that it was just a cold that needed to run its course, so I put off taking him to the doctor. Besides that, he had just been to the doctor and just finished the antibiotic (it was a 5 day antibiotic). When it didn't get better by Wednesday (and he was driving me nuts with his crying and clinging) I decided to take him to the doctor again. It turns out that both ears were infected this time. So, he is on a third different antibiotic and this time the PA we saw said to start him on Claritan. She also said that I need to bring him back as soon as he is done with the antibiotic to make sure his ears are clear. So far he seems to be feeling a little better, but still fighting the cough and stuffy/runny nose. Luckily, Adellyn has not gotten sick.

Even though Landen has been feeling sick, it hasn't stopped Elliot and I from going on with our plans. Last Friday (a week ago today) Elliot decided that we needed to go to Kearney to look for a new pair of shoes for him. We didn't realize as we were leaving how much snow Kearney would get and as we got into town, it was coming down pretty hard. But, it turned out ok because it had quit snowing by the time we got done eating supper and the roads were mostly clear for the drive home. (I suppose that night out didn't help Landen any either.) Saturday we left the kids with Connie and Larry and went to the Cattlemen Banquet. It was a good night and both kids were in bed when we got home. Sunday, Connie and I went to the movie and the kids stayed home with Elliot and Larry. Monday Elliot's boss had a supper for New Age Employees, including spouses, and the sales people that were in town. My mom watched the kids that night and again they were both in bed when we got home. We had been needed to get out of the house without the kids!

In the last couple of days, Landen has started doing something new and funny. He runs or spins circles in the living room saying "ashes, ashes" and when he gets dizzy enough he falls down. Sometimes he gets mad when we start to sing "Ring Around the Rosey." I was thinking the picture of Landen sleeping in the chair. I have taken and posted several pictures of him sleeping recently. I think I have been doing that because it's funny that he will fall asleep in some of those places and positions considering how active he is. I guess that is also about the best time to get a picture of him, again because he is so active I don't always have time to grab the camera.

The only new thing Adellyn is doing is buzzing her lips and I posted a video of that earlier this week. I will probably have more to post about her next time. I should also have her 3 month professional pictures to share.

some videos

Here are some videos that I have been meaning to post for a while. I had to figure out how to use iMovie so that I could edit them a little.



This one of Landen is from Jan 23 and he is copying a funny laugh that Elliot does. He also showed a few words that he can say.



This one of Adellyn is from Jan 26 when she really start cooing. It is really dark, but we were going after the sound more than anything.



This is another one of Adellyn from yesterday. She figured out how to buzz her lips and I managed to catch it on video...she is already doing it a lot more today than yesterday.
