T-ball

 

 

What a blast this is going to be!  They “warm up”, do some running bases, home runs, do some catching, some throwing, some hitting the ball off the T, totally in a 4 year old non-competitive way.  Alex is LOVING it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puff doggie dog

 

 

 

 

No, we don’t have a new rapper in the house

 

 

 

But, we do have a doggie that had a allergic reaction to a vaccine…

 

Bella and Rock went to the vet on Saturday for their regular check up and both got rabies vaccines.  Standard stuff.  She’s had it before.

 

We came home, played outside, all the normal things.

 

I was putting Sara down for a nap and Bella just looked funny, it took me a few seconds to see what was different – her muzzle.

 

 

So puffy and swollen, obviously different than normal. 

 

We called the vet and they said to bring her back in, gave her some antihistamines and steroids and said to watch her.

 

If it continued, she could have had difficulty breathing.

 

Luckily, the puffiness went down pretty quickly.

 

But, I have a feeling “puff doggie dog” nickname is here to stay for a while.

Growing so fast…

Last night when I walked in the front door, I forgot all about it – even though I was reminded (many times) just that morning.

 

T-ball has started.

And – my boy is growing up so fast! 

 

The look on my face apparently said everything to Lance -

 

choke, gulp!  What happened to my little boy?  Where did he go?  Who is this big boy who looks so grown up, wearing a baseball hat? 

 

 

 

The Woodinville River cats will be practicing on Monday and Saturday afternoons, with games starting in April.  Alex is SO excited.

 

He also likes to wear his baseball hat “like Daddy does when he’s driving the boat” backwards.

 

 

Sara even got to try on the baseball cap.  And she’s showing off her favorite new thing to carry around everywhere (even to sleep).  A marker.  Sometimes she even taps them together to make a musical beat.  And she loves it when I pretend to eat it – it just cracks her up!

 

 

 

And she gets to wear it backwards too, of course.

 

 

 

I distinctly remember the last time I felt this way – Alex was about 1.5 years old and standing up against a tree.  We were outside and I was snapping pictures.  It was a lovely November day. When I got inside and uploaded the pictures, he suddenly looked so grown up compared to what I had seen him as before. 

 

Wait a second here – what happened to my little baby/toddler? 

This photo below was taken the same day – he just looks so much younger to me!
