Mary Elizabeth– She’s doing great! Her swelling from the last surgery went down faster than we thought it would. Now we are just praying to see some results from it. We go to he Dr on April 28th and then we might be scheduling an MRI. She still has some bruising from the injections but other than that she’s doing and feeling fine. May 8th will be her next surgery. It’s a one day procedure – tongue lasering and some gum lasering too and possibly some work on her teeth.

She’s now doing AWESOME with potty training. M&Ms being her motivating factor, haha! Really she just woke up one day and decided that she was ready. She wears underwear at home and outside. When traveling and at events she wears a pull up just in case for now- but is doing pretty good with keeping it dry. When she is out playing she even asks to come in to go- so I’m glad that we didn’t push her too hard- because once she was ready- it became very easy. Going "#2" is still not 100% and she’ll hold it sometimes until naps or bedtime, but she’s getting there and I’m going at her pace to keep it easy.

September she will start pre-school at Trinity Preschool. And wow she’ll be 3 in about a month!

Andrew, Jr- He’s doing well too. He’s been good with napping as we just lay him in the crib and he puts himself to sleep. Sometimes just turns over and goes, a little whining or crying sometimes but not for more than a couple minutes. He’s been a really good baby. Just recently had a few challenges with his teething but that’s to be expected. I think he’ll have a tooth before we know it- oye he’s getting too big too fast. He will be christened this Sunday so we’re excited about that. At 4 months 1 day old he rolled over from his belly to his back and 2 weeks later rolled from his back to his belly. So he’s on the move.

Both of them love to be outside and the weather has been beautiful so out they get to go out for some fresh air!!

Be on the lookout for pictures at the end of the month – we’ve had lots of fun at my cousin Brian’s Wedding, Andy’s cousin’s baby (Owen)’s Christening and soon Drew’s Christening too!
