April's News

- May 03, 2013

what a long and exhausting month April was... it began with Quin's burn on his arm from the grill pan filled with hot grease. It was a total accident as Chris was clearing off the grill and didn't know Quin was behind him and it spilled on his arm. A quick trip to the E.R. and a follow up with his pediatrician, he is doing just fine. The hardest part was keeping it dressed and NOT pulling off the scab. It was horrible for me to keep it clean and dry. He never messed with it and did a very good job leaving it alone. however, this week was a reminder of how very delicate his skin is it blistered in the sun after about a half hour AND sunscreen on. Here are some pictures:

Quin also had a small procedure done on his mouth where they removed some extra tissue under his top lip. He did great and only had a little swelling. The hardest part was having to pull his lip away from his gumline...horrible for a mother to do, let me tell you.

A couple Easter pictures of the kids:

April also brought some tough times as we celebrated the life of my grandfather, Bob Welty. I grew very close to him over the past three years and miss him so very much. We had cousin visits:

Quin had his first official hair cut (hoping for a fade next time):

I give this month of April to Quin. He kept us on our toes with multiple injuries, climbing out of the crib, he's talking better everyday and today, we let go of a habit that has lingered for a while...the pacifier. Today we tied it to a balloon and said goodbye. He cried at naptime for an hour and then fell asleep. I know it will get better everyday.
