What's been going on??

Aside from everyone in our family getting sick, lots of great things have been happening!

Maddy lost her front tooth! It had to be extracted at the dentist due to her adult tooth causing an abscess, but she did great. And in return the tooth fairy left her $5. But that's not all, she also got cash from Grandparent and Aunts! She took all her money and bought a pig wenkinz!

Samuel is very mobile now..not quite walking but crawling every where! Now the gates must go up! He has said his first distinct word (besides "mama" which he will only say when he's crying)...and the first word is..................."HEATHER". Heather is like his second mommy she's the second eldest cousin who takes him under her wing every chance she gets! Now we just need to work on "mama & dada" :)

Christian's birthday is coming up and he wants an archaeologist them! Right now he is so interested in finding gold and lost relics! He's got his heart on traveling the world when he grows up to succeed where others have failed in finding things like; the arc of the covenant, the cup of Christ, spear of destiny. All thanks to movies like "Indian Jones" and his now favorite "The Librarian" series.

Sorry I haven't been on lately! Every Wenzel is sick! Maddy, Christian and even Sam caught this nasty bug! Ended up giving Christian pneumonia, Sam a sinus and ear infection!

Will be back soon to update on lots of exciting things happening around here including Maddy missing her front tooth!!

New short haircut

 

My two boys are sick!

Both Samuel and Christian I think have a super bad cold, at least I hope it's a cold and not the flu! Sam has had a deep cough and fever since Tuesday, and Christian the same which for him started yesterday. Today was the first day that I saw improvement for Sam. But for poor Christian, I'm afraid today was really bad! He spiked a fever tonight of 103.2! Please pray for my boys to get better soon! Christian and Maddy both celebrate their 100th day of school come this Monday, and Christian would especially hate to miss it! In general he freaks out about missing school, but to miss the 100th party day would be so sad for him!

BTW the pictures were taken just a few days ago.. they don't look so chipper now :(

Sammy's 9 months old

Today Sam had is 9month well child check up! He's doing great! He now weighs 16lbs 5 oz..still tiny not on the charts 0-5% but back on his curve of growth! As for height he's in the 10th %! Long and lean :) We've switched him of the non-dairy Neocate formula to regular formula with success! He is no longer allergic to diary! Which is great news, except that we will have to pay for regular formula from now on. Before when it was prescription formula it was all covered by insurance company FedEx would drop off a months worth of formula every month, it was so nice! But in the long run I'm so glad he can have milk products! I'm not a very good cook and to have to cook around milk products would have been even harder!
I'll have to make my next post a video of him crawling. He's so cute! I just can't belive how fast he's growing up!
