Sleep: We are down to 1 nap a day which is upsetting. I really liked having 2 naps! It was great for working and getting things done around the house. His nap is around 1 pm 2 pm and usually lasts for about 2 - 2.5 hours. He sleeps through the night! Usually he goes to bed at 7:30 pm and wakes up around 8 am. Its fabulous!

I Love...: Cars, Planes, Trains. Anything that moves. He will watch the garbage truck pick up the trash, and is always pointing out all the cars and buses when we are driving. His favorite toys are his trucks and airplanes.  He also loves running. He will run up and down our hallway. He likes to race, so he will yell GO! Then run down the hall. He also LOVES wrestling and tickling other people. Its great that dad and both grandpas are great at wrestling. MCDONALDS! He loves Chicken and walks into McDonald's saying "chicken chicken!"
 
I Hate...: Being told no,
Food: He is still highly allergic to Milk, Beef, Peanuts and Eggs. So a normal food day Oatmeal with Soy Milk Yogurt for breakfast. Ham and Fruit for lunch. Nuggets for Dinner. Snacks can be animal crackers, an Oreo, Juice. He eats Chicken a lot.
 
Other facts: He is great at picking up toys and throwing things away. He will take things to the trash for me and throws his diapers away. Its cute. It seems every day he has learned more and more words. He is usually a great kid, he always wants to play and rarely has to sit on time out. He does run everywhere we go, so you better be wearing running shoes. He loves love loves Nursery. As soon as we get to church he is trying to get there and doesn't even look back when we drop him off. He is also going to be a great cousin and will get Emma anytime Ellie is crying.

October has been one of the craziest months this year. Work has been busy, Q has been sick, Eric is back at school full time and has 2 part time jobs. So its just busy. So here is whats going on lately. At least that I have pictures to document.

 

Q spent the night in the hospital. He woke up one morning struggling to breath and turned really scared and frantic about it. I couldn't get him to stop crying, so I took him to the ER since he eventually was only gasping for breathe. The ER said he wasn't moving any air around. Turns out he had RSV which lead to a severe Asthma attack. They couldnt seem to get it under control, so they wanted to monitor him longer.

He is better now, but they will monitor him all winter long.

 We thought Q would enjoy playing Garage Band. So up at Eric's parents we played it one night for fun. He totally had a blast playing the guitar and the drums. We then played Wipe Out, and he jumped around the entire time. Fun Family activties.

 Emma had her baby! Q has a cousin! This is us at the airport because he LOVES airplanes waiting for Emma's mom to fly in.

Baby Ellie. Shes adorable!

 Q was a Football Player for Halloween, complete with knee pads.  He was pretty excited.

 Q on his birthday holding baby Ellie. He is going to be a good cousin.

 Took him swimming on his birthday. He is one of the bravest kids i know. He kept jumping off the edge of the pool into Eric's hands, and eventually he didn't need to hold hands to do it. And he would dunk his head under the water too. Guess we will be swimming A LOT next summer!

 Eric and I went to the UW vs ASU football game Saturday night. We braved the wind and rain, only to return to our apartment and find it without power. This is obviously a before picture. We didn't get soaked like I thought. But we had a ton of fun.

 

Q got a bike for his birthday. We have him ride it inside since it is so cold outside right now. He loves it. 

Music appreciating can never start too early!

Fishing is a very serious job.
