Our little girl turned 4 yesterday! WOW! We had a big birthday party yesterday for her and JD complete with jumpy things. They got so many toys that it seems like christmas all over again.
Today I went to her class and brought cupcakes. I just cannot believe she is four. It seems like yesterday she was a baby. I will post pictures when I get them from mama since I forgot my camera and she took all the pictures.

JD at One Year Old
Well JD is now officially over the chicken pox and we can resume normal life and go out in public. I would like to document his accomplishments at a year.
As you all know he started his little life out with a bang. Hospitalized at 4 days old for Jaundice, very high levels of jaundice, they went about trying to figure out why they were so high. Which they discovered was a MRSA urinary tract infection. We had no idea what that meant because only this year have they had all the news coverage of it. Well we found out. He went through so much two spinal taps, so many heel pricks that there was no room to do it, iv medication for 10 days. He was a trooper through all of this and thrived.
Then when we got home we discovered the spots on him and back to the hospital we went. Vandy this time. We stayed there for a week and no one could tell us what this was. I now know we didn't need to be there and it was my own terror that put us there. But how can you rationalize with a new mother and her hormones. We were sent home I was put on medication for PPD and anxiety which helped alot!!
Finally we found out that JD has a very rare skin disorder called Mastocytosis. So rare in fact that 10 doctors at one of the best hospitals in the country could not tell us what it was. His own ped had never seen it. Finally a dermatologist took one look at him and said this is what it is and it is no big deal! WHAT!! But we have found out that it is not a big deal and he is already starting to outgrow it..
He has turned out to be a very curious, adventurous boy. He loves to explore the house, cabinets, potties, anything. He works hard at figuring out things and he loves to punch buttons. He also loves to climb the stairs and climb into the shower.
He can say uh oh, dog, mama, dada, lilly, ball, D (as in Papa D), and tries to say lexie. He loves to yell hey.
He loves going outside and I wish it was warmer because he cries if he has to go in. He absolutely loves his big sister and wants to do everything she does and has to have everything she has. If she has one sippy cup he has to have the same one.
He also loves to chew on toothbrushes. Not new ones old ones that have just been used with a little bit of toothpaste leftover! He is also running all over the house and getting into everything. We are so blessed!!!

Happy 1st Birthday JD
Well our little man is officially one. Wow! It seems like yesterday we were waiting on him. We had his mini party last night with just us because we are quarantined. I was planning on having his party with Lexie's anyway since they are so close. Today on his birthday we took our puppy to chic and let him run through the woods. He also got to sit in one of the big tractors which made him happy. Here are some pictures of last night

Spots, Spots, Spots
JD woke up with quite a few more spots this morning but still seems to be in good spirits. He itched in his sleep last night though. Here is a picture of the pretty speckled pup!
I would also like to document that last year on this day we were headed to the hospital because I was in labor!

CHICKEN POX!
Yes, JD has the chicken pox!! Actually it doesn't come as a surprise because my mom has shingles and you can catch chicken pox from people who have them. I have been waiting to see if the kids would get them and this morning sure enough JD does. He is doing fine they don't seem to bother him. Now to see if the vaccine really works with Lexie!
Oh a little tidbit of info I read... The chicken pox are so contagious that you can be in Wal-mart and catch them from someone who has them on the next isle over!!
