Broken Arm Update

Gavin is such a trooper with this whole broken arm situation! He ended up getting his hard cast off after only a week because his thumb got all sore and infected from rubbing against it. I feel so bad because I didn't even notice it for a few days! So he had an x-ray done and it had healed enough (in only 1 week!) to get a soft cast put on! It was scary for him having the saw take it off, but he recovered good thanks to a lollypop! Selfishly mommy was a little disapointed since we didn't get good pictures and no family got to see his little cast, but I'm so glad for him because he can bend his elbow now!! And of course we saved his cast! We go back in another week to see if he can take it off for good!

This is how I turned around to find Gav the other day...let's see if he can break his other arm!! Such a boy!!

Only our son!

Well, I was hoping that mine and Andrews tendency towards injuries and sickness would not be passed down to our kids, but we're not off to a good start...our little 1 year old has a fractured arm!

He actually wasn't in pain really at all a little bit after the fall

(which was no worse than his normal ones, but I think you only caught himself with his one hand). But, mommy decided to have it checked out anyway (the next day) because he would still fuss and grab it once in a while. He just has a little fracture above his wrist, but they had to put on a full cast because on kids this small it will

come off otherwise. He's a trooper though, he is

quickly adapting. The only problem he still has is trying to eat with that hand- he'll grab the food but then can't make it all the way to his mouth!! Poor baby!!

(the pictures are not very good quality beacuse my camera is in the shop so they are from Andrew's phone, but you can still see his cute little cast)

Still smiling!!

the "da" from daddy trying to sign it but he wouldn't sit still!

Oh the life...besides the broken arm of course!!

This is how the picture taking started out, I think it's safe to say it only got better! Who's idea was it to try and take pictures at 7:00 after a cranky day?!!

My handsome!!!

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas..."

It looks like after years of anticipation we'll finally have a white Christmas!! The last several years have been rainy, brown, dull, and dead (in terms of the weather!). But with Christmas being a few days away it looks like there's hope...we had a huge snow storm on Friday and ended up with about 8 inches and it's been continuing to snow during the weekend and still today!! We haven't been out to play in it because it's been coming down pretty hard, been extremely windy, and freezing (like in the 20's!) plus Gavin is getting sick (hopefully that won't last until Christmas). I just snapped a couple of pictures from our window, hope to be able to really get out and get some nice ones soon!
