Happy 1st Birthday, Zachary!

Our little baby is no longer a little baby! I took some pictures of him today to mark the day! Zachary was born at 1:15pm and weighed 7lbs 11oz and was 20 inches long.

Tubes Friday

We have officially used all of the antibiotics that a little guy can handle and we are having tubes put in Zachary's ears Friday morning. We are happy for him and hope that this makes him a painfree baby (except for all of the bumps from learning how to walk!) Zachary is going to be one year old on Wednesday! It really is crazy how time flies!

My new trick!

Zachary can walk behind his push toy now! He goes in a straight line and when he runs into something he looks at you like, "what do I do now?!"

Ear muffs

I LOVE that Aidan calls these ear muffs!

Update on Zachary's poor ears. 6 days into his antibiotic it was determined that it was not working as the infection is worse. We have changed antibiotics and are praying that it works this time! His poor poor ears (and his poor poor parents-it has been a long weekend).

Racing like the pros

After watching a little Nascar, Aidan set up all of his cars around the coffee table like they were in a race. Of course, when asked who was winning, he said, "Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment Lighting McQueen!"

Razorbacks!

We often get onto Aidan for doing more singing at dinner than eating, but we thought this was too cute!

Affirmative

I took Zachary to the doctor and he had an ear infection in both ears. The doctor actually said that his ears looked gnarly! He is back on antibiotics and seems to be getting better.

The haircut and Van Lear ears

This is Aidan's new haircut! He is pretty cute and not been mistaken for a girl (by the little old ladies at walmart) since the haircut. To see the difference refer back to the last post.

This is some pictures of Zachary I took outside. I realized, after I downloaded them, that half of him were of him pulling his ears. Hmmm...he has been fussy.

Cute new pictures

There is really no theme with this post. We have taken some cute new pictures lately and wanted to share them! Zachary is almost 11 months old and is very mobile. He is not walking yet but he a crawling machine and very quick! Aidan got a big boy haircut last week and has had rave reviews on it. (Thanks, Jennifer!) I don't have any pictures posted of the new haircut yet. FEMA is here in Springdale picking up sticks for the next six weeks or so. Aidan thought it was fabulous that they had all of their machines picking up sticks in our neighborhood. We were late to preschool that day so we could watch them clean up the block!

Breakfast time!

We love breakfast time at our house.

Oh, the sickness

We are tired of all of the sickness in our house. It is really only the boys that are sick, but it is getting old and we are ready for warmer weather. Zachary is on is second round of antibiotics for an ear infection and Aidan got an ear infection for the first time since he had tubes put in. Aidan was running a fever last Sunday and we had bought tickets for Bob the Builder Live at the Walton Arts Center months ago. We gave him Motrin and went anyway. He had a good time but was a lot less chipper than the other children there! Because he was sick he did not ask for the absurdly priced Bob the Builder toys that were for sale!

Let the clean up begin!

Darren and Robin came to our house last weekend (after we got power) and helped Jake clean up our yard using chain saws. We are going to be picking up sticks for some time and are still wondering if one of our trees is going to survive. We are warm and safe though! We did not have any house damage either. Anyone need firewood??!
