Jessica is now walking more than crawling, and wearing shoes most of the time when we go out. Her bedtime bottle is definitely gone, and so is the bottle itself - she is now sippy cup only. In fact, we got rid of our bottles! She seems to be doing ok with the ear-tubes. We went to the pool twice and have taken a few baths, without troubles. The dr checked her ears at her 1-yr checkup, and the tubes were still there. So far so good!
Joanna is still potty-training - hopefully we can transition to the next step in the next month.
Jeremy is loving 5th grade AND football (he plays slot). He plays with his retainer too much (is that common?) so hopefully it'll still do its job. He had another tooth coming in crooked, so he had another bracket put in the back of his mouth, but didn't affect getting the retainer.
My sinus infection is finally gone after 2 rounds of serious antibiotics, but the bigger news is that I am now no longer allergic to ANYTHING, per the allergist on Tuesday. The question now is whether Flonase was causing headaches. I am off all meds and we'll give it a month or so before I possibly try something else.
Alex started a "boot camp" exercise class last Tuesday - it is BRUTAL. He has gone twice now. He decided TaeKwonDo was just too expensive in this area.

Early August update
Jessica is now walking, although still unsteady, and still crawls more than she walks. She is fully transitioned to whole milk, and is now losing her bedtime bottle (just started yesterday). She did get tubes in her ears last Saturday. Her walking slowed a bit for about 3 days, but is picking up again.
Joanna is still potty-training; overall doing better. I believe she fully understands what to do, just depends on her attitude/mood whether she’ll do it or not. Joanna no longer seems to have IBS, and doesn’t seem to be having allergy problems after all, rather eczema.
Jeremy is dreading the end of summer, but mostly ready to head back, 2 weeks from today. He’ll start weekly practice/games for football that day too. He should get his orthodontic retainer the day before school starts.
I neglected to stop my meds before my allergy visit, so couldn’t have testing done. We did find however, that I had a sinus infection (didn’t have a CLUE), so I’m on an antibiotic for that, and will have a sinus CT a week from today. I’ve had numerous sinus infections over the last 5 years, and have been told my sinus cavities are pretty small, and I might need surgery. I’ll have the scan, then see the allergist again likely for skin testing, and make a decision from there. I had my headaches finally under control in Iowa, but they are back, here in Indiana.
Alex still hopes to start TaeKwonDo again in September.
More probably later this month.
