Our Summer Summed Up

Well, I guess summer is officially over (even though it doesn't really feel like it around here). I have been really lazy about posting over the past 2 months or so. But that seems to be my trend.

Ollie made it almost 8 months without an illness and then in a 3 week time period he had an eye infection, an ear infection and then a stomach bug. And during all that Sam had a sinus infection. And all of us ended up with the stomach bug to some extent. All of this occurring during my vacation, of course. Good times. Now I am happy to report that everyone is healthy. Although, Ollie is going to see a pediatric opthamologist today to see about his blocked tear duct. He has had a goopy, teary eye off and on since birth and we've finally gotten the recommendation from our pediatrician to get it fixed. Apparently this involves strapping them down and poking a big needle in their eye. I am not looking forward to that and of course if Ollie had any idea what is coming he wouldn't be thrilled either. But, I am looking forward to a goop-free Ollie.

Sam just wrapped up his swim lessons and I think after 2 nights a week for 2 months we are going to take a break for awhile. He loved it and is doing really well in the water. Right now we are trying to get him to decide what he wants to be for Halloween. It changes everytime he sees a different costume. I just don't want to wait til the last minute and not be able to find something.

Ollie is almost 9 months old and moving all over the place!! He is combat crawling and he moves so fast when he sees something he wants. He really wants to crawl on his hands and knees but then he just flops down on his stomach and scoots off. He is still a happy baby and we all have a great time playing with him.

Here are a few pictures from the past 2 months:

Sam insisted that if Ollie got to hang out in

just his diaper that he should be able to as well.

Sorry for the blurry picture, but I just couldn't

leave out Sam's first go-cart experience.

Up to no good

My Daddy is 30!!!!

The Norris boys had their first bath together. It was a little crazy. Ollie did fine, but kept trying to jump over Sam to get to the toys at the other end of the tub. I think we will stick with separate baths for a little longer.
