Late August update

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.
