I want to really write a good entry…but I am sooo tired!!!  today Zeke is 10 months old… I took him for his 9 month check up today.   dont have his “Stats” in front of me, i think he’s gained just about 2 lbs since his last appt, 4 months ago.  but he’s still in the 20th percentile for weight so she wasnt too concerned.  he’s in the 75th precentile for height, 29 1/2 inches I believe.   I think he weighed 18 lbs 11 oz. yeah, that’s right.   so a tiny guy weightwise but pretty tall !  he did great getting his shot and a blood draw today.   no major concerns w/ him, thankfully.

after Zeke was finished being seen the dr asked if I had any questions about the other boys, so I had her check Bo’s ears.  he’s back to throwing up a lot again.  he might just have the stomach bug I had last week though, hoping that’s all.   but I also asked her about his speech and how to get a referral for a speech evaluation.  so she tried to get him to talk, and of course the only thing he did say was jibberish.   so she agreed it wouldnt hurt to get him checked so he has an appt for an evaluation next Monday morning.   he talks every now and then, says some things clearly but most of the he doesnt.   he will pull you by the hand to take you to do or see what he wants and that gets to be annoying, especially w/ two other kids to care for.   it amazes me this child who doesnt speak well knows how to go to the bathroom by himself and says pee when he has to go to let me know.  crazy actually.

well I am worn out.   Caleb goes to get his hearing rechecked this Thursday.  tomorrow I get to spend the day catching up on laundry, our dryer which has been on the fritz for months in Baltimore finally died.   we didnt want to leave a crappy dryer there and we didnt want to have to buy one right away when we moved so we’ve been using it and it finally started destroying the clothes too badly to be worn again and started making really bad noises.   so…yesterday we went and bought a new one, one that has a sensor so it will stop drying when it senses that the clothes are dry..to save energy!  I’m all for that..and i think it is a little bigger inside than our old one.   i really wanted this 1000 dollar one but I settled for a cheaper one than that…one day though..I mean I do so much stinking laundry…

so last week new furniture, this week new dryer..in a few weeks when we sell the house we start looking at a new van….things are definitely looking up financially….now if on the health front we were all good then things would be great!!

well I didnt want to write much but I’m waiting on Dean to get home from getting some groceries for the rest of my beef stew recipe so I can get the slow cooker ready this evening for tomorrow’s meal.

hope all are doing well….
