Mr. Giggles

Mitchell is so ticklish and has such an awesome giggle. I try to get at least a couple good ones out of him each day. Here is short video clip of him.


And he is by far the messiest eater. But I can't complain because when he gets really messy that usually means he's scarfed his meal down. This was him after we had lasagna for supper, he had it pasted into his eyebrows, up his nose and in his ears.

Casey had an appointment earlier this week with a pediatric surgeon. He has a hydrocele, which is a pocket of fluid around one of his little boy parts and I guess is fairly common. We had to see this doctor to determine whether this is something that will go away on it's own or whether he needs to have surgery to fix it. I wasn't sure how things would go at the appointment. Casey has been making strange a lot lately. And he has also caught onto the fact that if we take his pants off in a doctor's office setting, something bad is probably going to happen to him (scarred from all of his shots). But even though his appointment was in the middle of nap time and then we had to wait quite a while to see the doctor, he was really good. He kept busy tearing off a few table length's worth of paper and eating snacks.


Casey will see the doctor again in 3-4 months and if it has not gone away, he'll have to have it corrected through a fairly minor surgery.

The babies have actually been pretty good at wearing toques and hats this winter. They like to wear them around the house so when we've gone out they usually keep them on. Here are a few pictures of Maggie in her toque taking advantage of her time alone before nap time. The boys go down first and then we usually spend a few minutes watching tv or cleaning up.
