Alison starts school next Tuesday. She's going to Tot Time at the Ottawa County Fair Grounds for 3 school. She's pretty excited. She's turning into such a little girl.
Chase is almost 10 months and is crawling like crazy. He's teething right now (I see one ALMOST through) and I'm wondering if he has an ear ache since he's been pretty fussy and pulling at his ear. Up until 3 weeks ago Chase was waking anywhere from 2 - 6 times nightly. He'd eat 6 ounce bottles at least two of those times. Mike and I were at our wits end and decided to rotate nights so we had some hope for sleep. After I was certain of allergies and reflux (GERD) I insisted he be tested. (I'm sure his doctor loves me since I called weekly). I did find he has a peanut allergy, but that doesn't pertain to any of his diet right now...good to know for later. I also had a radiology test to see if he has severe acid reflux...nope. I then weaned him off the Prevacid, let him cry it out (4 hours) with no bottles, put him on a strict schedule, and he is now a happy happy kid. For those of you with babies that don't sleep DON'T give up. Crying bites but it's so worth it in the end. In the last couple of days Chase can now stand solo for about 10 seconds. It'll only be a matter of weeks I think before he walks! I saw him at the fridge the other day holding his magnet letter with both hands. It was really weird to see since it took me a moment to realize he wasn't supporting himself.
Here are some random pictures from the last few months...

YAY! I was so happy to see that you updated! I missed you :-) Let me know how Ali likes school, I think Matthew will probably go to a 3 school next fall and I have no clue where! Oh, and we "cry it out" over here too and it works wonders :-)
Wow Aunt Kori! You did A GREAT JOB of updating this all! soooo cute! Look at shabby blogs .com for cool backgrounds...FREE! It made me all excited about blogging again!
