Hello.

My household is currently battling what our doctor laughingly refers to as "the crud", so I had some down time today to browse through applications on my phone. I came across the Myspace ap that hasn't been touched in months and decided to look through it. I ended up coming across all my old blogs through Dylan's first year, and laid in bed laughing and remembering all of those times all over again. It wasn't until today that I realized how much I actually enjoyed blogging! It's probably the only thing I miss about myspace. I always said I blogged to keep everyone updated on how Dylan was doing all at once, but now I think it was for myself too. There's usually a million thoughts in my head, and if I can put some of them down somewhere, my chaos becomes a little clearer. And in turn, I am a calmer, happier person. So as part of my new years resolution to be more patient, I have decided to take up blogging again :)

See, I told you I'm a rambler! Get used to it, I doubt it's ever going to change.

We had to take Dylan to the dr. today because he can't seem to kick this stinkin' cold he's had for a few weeks now. Turns out he has at least one ear infection (the other was blocked and he couldn't see clearly..) So now this 2 1/2 year old is on cloud 9 because he gets to take medicine twice a day plus eardrops and tylenol as needed. Weirdo. But our dr gave Dylan a sticker for being good, and without any prompting from me or Jake, he says "thank you" and proceeds to destroy the sticker. Being the proud mother hen that I am, I'm bubbling at the manners that we've tried to hard to teach him being shown off in public, only to realize that the dr said 'you're welcome' without even looking away from the computer screen. Not his fault, he's a good guy and a great dr, I guess a 2 year old's  manners doesn't quite excite him, like it does me. Good Job Dylan!! Now if only he'd potty train, I'd be on cloud 9. Ahhh...someday.

Cameron however seems to be on the other side of the "sickness" hill, finally. He doesn't seem to be growing any, and I don't understand why. I'm not worried about him or anything, he'll grow soon enough. And the less he outgrows clothes, the more money he saves us, so kudos to him! I just don't understand how one tiny person can eat SO much, and stay so tiny! He out eats his brother, dang he practically out eats me! We'll see how he does in a month or so at his 1 year well check. Speaking of which, My "baby" will be 1 on Feb 2! Less than a month away!! How did this happen so quickly? Seems like just a few months ago his father and I were going through hell trying to balance life with Cameron in the hospital and Dylan at home. And now he's on the brink of walking, almost ready to give up formula and baby food, chattering up a storm, and mimicking everything we do. He's so much more laid back than his OCD-ish older brother ever was. He's pretty much Jake,while Dylan unfortunately is me made over- looks aside.

Well I better get off here for now, sickness only lasts so long and I hear the Wii calling my name :)

PS- Don't worry, not all blogs will be this long!
