The Zoo

We had so much fun last friday going to the zoo with our friends Cris and her kids Cash and Hailey. Jenna and Hailey had such a good time, holding hands singing songs about how they were friends. Austin had a blast just chillin in the stroller looking at everything. Mine and the kids favorite part of the zoo was feeding the birds. You could buy these little sticks and the parakeets would jump right on them and eat right from your fingers. Jenna thought it was fun, but Austin only wanted to hold the sticks after there was no more seeds on it. After 4-5 hours as soon as we got in the car the kids fell asleep and snored the whole way home! OHHH and yes, that is Jenna up close and personal with a giant python snake. I just don't know where she gets it from!

Just playing around with some software of some previously posted pictures.

Trying to get the kids dressed

While I get Jenna dressed, Austin has figured out how to climb into the cabinet in his dresser and hide! He was absolutely ecstatic. He would have napped in there if I would have let him I think.









This is me trying to get the kids dressed: "Jenna and Austin lets get dressed to go to the store..." and them running in every direction from me to see who can wear out mom the fastest!

Typical Day in the Rothman House with Mommy

Jenna and Austin got caught jumping on Jenna's bed and loving every minute of it!







Austin reading his books and doing one of his favorite things: standing in the window sill.

Austin Update

Well for those of you who didn't know, Austin has been through a battery of (unnecessary) tests because he was severely underweight. They did several blood tests and weight checks and tested for Celiac Disease, his THS levels. AND afterall was said and done, the tests came back NEGATIVE! We waited for weeks on his celiac test (allergy to wheat) and are so incredibly grateful that are beautiful baby boy is fine and just a little small. He is still working with a nutritionist and speech therapist every two weeks at home and the nutritionist and Pediatric GI specialist every three months at the hospital. But, as of yesterday he is officially in the 0.83% for his weight category. He has gained a pound a month since we started this all three monthes ago, and that is fantastic. It just takes lots and lots of fatty foods that unfortunately we cannot eat! But all is well with the rest of us and that is all one can ask for and be grateful for.

Audrey's Bridals

Now that Audrey is finally married, I can post some of her 250+ bridal pictures that we took back in October. Audrey didn't want Chris to see her dress, so no one got to see the pictures.
