Levi rolled from back to front today. And then kept on doing it. Way to go my little man! I'm so excited that he gets it. It will be fun to watch him when he realizes that he can keep on rolling to get where he wants to go.
When he rolled the first time today I almost missed it. He was laying on the activity pad and I was about to walk into the other room for a minute and then I noticed he was on his side with his hips way over nearly flat to the ground. So I stopped and waited and sure enough he pulled his shoulder out from under himself and he was tummy to the ground. I was so happy that I cheered him and he turned his head toward me and gave me a big smile.
I forgot to mention in my last post that we have also started learning some sign language. Hopefully it will help communicate their needs for food or the potty. I am using American Sign Language so it can be useful for them even when they are older. Hopefully we can keep up with it and we will become fluent enough to communicate with the deaf in needed. :)
William seems to be coming down with a cold or at the very least some congestion and a bit of a cough. He HATES it when I have to clear his nose out. Talk about screaming bloody murder. I feel bad for him though. Aside from those moments he has been such a good boy today. Smiles and snuggles. He's been the little boy that I have been missing for the last couple of weeks. Love him so. I have a nest in my bed made up with an incline so that hopefully it will help him with the nasal congestion and to get some good rest tonight. I hope.

my little pterodactyl
William has a characteristic that he has honed from cute and tolerable into loud and aggravating.
He has earned the name of Pterodactyl because he likes to make noises from deep in his throat. I imagine that this is what a pterodactyl would sound like, hence the nickname. Unfortunately, the volume and frequency has drastically been intensified today. All afternoon and evening and yes even now at 10pm he is still going on. I'm still laughing...kinda. I admit it's annoying and I'm trying not to get angry with him. I swear he is going to bother all of the neighbors and they may be knocking at our door any moment.
Adding to this annoyance is the fact that he has been pinching me really hard and pulling my hair. It really flippin' hurts. It's a good thing grandma just took him and is trying to rock him to sleep. Although grandma is more tired than mommy because she has been caring for the boys these past two days while mommy suffers with the flu. Ugh. I couldn't have made it through these last two days without her.
Tuesday I went to the doctor to get a vaccination for tetanus and pertussis based on the recommendation of the pediatrician. I was also to get the flu vaccine but my doctor office isn't doing them this year for some unknown reason. After getting the shot the nurse said I would experience some muscle soreness for a few days. No big deal right?
Wrong. 3:30 in the morning I awoke to not only muscle soreness but also severe chills, shakes and a headache. It was awful. I took the ibuprofen which didn't help. Later in the morning I called the doctor office to ask what was the maximum ibuprofen to take. I was feeling so bad I was crying on the phone and the woman said she would have a nurse call me. At one point I found the thermometer and took my temperature, 101.3 and that was two hours after taking the ibuprofen. That afternoon the nurse called and I explained what the effects of the vaccination was having on me and she said that it wasn't the vaccination but I had the flu. So, I went to the doctor healthy and left there with the flu. Really?!?
Anyway, I am feeling vastly better than I did this morning and yesterday. I wanted to snuggle the boys so much but I knew that I couldn't so that I didn't pass it onto them. So far they have not shown signs of the flu. Let's keep it that way. Levi has been all smiles when he looks at me and it makes my heart melt. I think his smiles help me heal too.
