Another vendor sent me a lion costume and I loved this one too.?? Fun to get to post more awake pictures.

Troy just loves to look at Tanner.???? I had asked him to get Troy’s attention for me and turns out Troy looking at Tanner was a much better piece of work then baby looking at me.?? The matching hair and mane was too perfect too.?? 🙂

Jim and I were watching Blue Bloods last week and we both giggled at how Troy reminds us of Tom Sellek.?? Deep dimples on both cheeks plus the chin dimple.

Speaking of “lyin”, did I already post this story?

Recently Braxtyn spent the night with Tori.?? Both girls were jumping on our bed and Jim got after them for it.?? A bit later, Tori comes out of the room panting and out of breath.

Tori:?? Daddy!?? Braxtyn is jumping on the bed!

Jim:?? Uh huh.?? And what were YOU doing?

Tori:?? I was just exercising.

Earlier this month we quit the Zantac and started Troy on the generic brand of Prevacid (lansoprozole).?? I am pleased to report that his vomiting has slowed to about once a week now instead of every day.?? He still spits up a ton but that isn’t abnormal.?? So glad to have greater spans between the projectile incidents.

He also slept 8 hours for the first time on 9/14 and has slept several 9 hour stretches as well.?? Like Ty and Tori, he was sleeping through the night by 2 months.?? I looked it up and Tori was sleeping 10.5 hours by 3 months so hopefully that will be true of Troy as well.

He first giggled on 9/21 (well Jim and Tanner claim he was giggling before that but *I* didn’t hear it until 9/21).?? So cute.

Me:?? Okay you are going to do a book report.

Ty:?? YEAH!!!!!???? Wooohoo!!!! (Runs down hall)?? I LOVE book reports!?? (pause)?? What is a book report?

**********************************

Today Ty got a 73% on his math.?? I told him he needed to redo the lesson and he said “YEAH!!!?? I LOVE doing teaching textbooks”.?? Grrrrr.???? I watched him out of the corner of my eye and on the second go round he only missed one out of 23.?? Even more impressive, he was typing answers in faster than I could read or hear the screen commands (and no, they weren’t all math facts – a lot of geometry type questions).???? Got me thinking.?? Did he fail on purpose the first time or did he remember the correct answers so he could fly through the second time?
