What a fun time!

We had a great time with Grandpa and Grandma Garrod. We went out to eat a lot, and even got some yummy Ben and Jerry's ice cream! Zanthias had a bad week, because he was a little sick and his silly teeth just keep hurting him. Other than the screaming at night (which Wilbur and Deborah were lucky to miss!) it was a great visit. We were so happy they were able to see him before he got too much bigger.

15 weeks!

Chunky monkey in his new car seat. He grew out of his infant seat a while ago, so we got him a convertible. Only goes up to 40 lbs, so let's hope he doesn't get too big!



Happy 15 weeks! to Zanthias!

Surprise!

Where's the baby?
We had some surprise visitors on Friday! Grandpa and Grandma Garrod came to visit Zanthias!
We've been having a lot of fun with them, hanging out, going out to eat (thanks for all the yummy free meals!) Looking forward to having some good times. I'll post more pics later.

Yay Tobey!

Tobey is showing a lot of improvement. Even the vet seemed surprised by how well he is doing. Zanthias still refuses to nap, but at least he is cute...until he starts screaming!

Still struggling...

Still working on those teeth. He's really liking to chew on Sophie (his teething giraffe) now. He is up and down on naps, but still refusing to go to sleep until late.
We have an appt. for Tobey tomorrow to see what's up. He has been drinking more and eating a tiny bit, so we're a little more hopeful.

The wheels on the van...

Tobey's not doing much better, so please keep him in your thoughts. We should know in a few days if he is going to be okay or not.
Zanthias really helps us though. He requires so much of our attention, we can't just focus on poor Tobey. He is really smiling and laughing a lot now. It's so cute. Here are some pics from our trips out recently. Don't worry, we have a car seat for him, we were eating lunch in the van and moved it. It's actually a new car seat, he grew out of the infant one (weight limit was 22 lbs) and is in a convertible seat.

Rubber ducky

Rubber ducky, I love you! You make bathtime lots of fun...well, sometimes. It has a beak that makes duck noises when you squeak it!
We're going to try to take him to the doctor tomorrow to make sure he is ok with the teething and everything, because he hasn't been too happy lately.

Also, on the bad news front, Tobey has pancreatitis. Tuesday he started acting strangely, so we took him to the vet. They had us come back the next day for bloodwork and tests. He was puking, and shaking, and seemed to be in a lot of pain. Cost us a bit of money, money we don't really have, but I don't know how we could let him suffer. The bad part is, even if we had money, there is no real treatment except a special diet and exercise. He'll either get better or he won't. He does seem to be a bit better today, and is holding down his food at least. So please send good thoughs Tobey's way!
