SCHEETZ FAMILY: 2011

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

I cannot believe it has been 2 months since I have posted... it has absolutely flown by!! Let's see what is new... I guess I will start with Luke. We have been seeing doctors and therapists dealing with cochlear implant surgery for him. We have a tentative date of June 3rd for that surgery. Then after we get back from the beach (july 2nd) he will have them activated... be able to hear. We will be going to speech therapy once a week... and nightly with non-stop talker Mikayla!! We are so excited for this process to begin... so ready for him to be able to hear us. Luke is mobile now... crawling all over this house...pulling up on everything that he can get to. He is in to everything!!! His favorite thing to get in to is the dog food and water... I have to dig dog food out of his mouth at least twice a day before I hide the bowls. He is also loving the climb Mikyala's steps to her bed!! He falls a few times a day... I don't like that part but I know it is all par for the course. He does not cry for the most part when he does fall... sometimes he falls pretty hard though... then he wants mommy. He is such a good baby! Sleeping 12 hours+ each night... napping is another story though. He has gotten accustomed to our on the go lifestyle so that is how he naps... 10- 30 minutes at a time... even when we are home. Still a pig when it comes to eating. He weighs 18 pounds as of yesterday. I had to take him to the doctor for a rash. He has a rash all over his body from an allergic reaction to something he has come in contact with. It looks so terrible but does not seem to bother him. He is doing great. Not sure if I posted since we had the flu... Luke had it then I did. Mike and I have had bronchitis... Mike had it twice. Not much new with me... doing bible study on Tuesday mornings and leading a small group at church for stay at home moms. Just doing mom stuff... busy, busy!! Mike and I both have gotten new vehicles... he got a mustang and I got a minivan. I actually love my van... was not thrilled about getting it but very glad I did. Makes it much easier getting kiddos in and out. Getting ready for a little girl's birthday, Easter dinner at our house, and Mikayla was nominated to be a pageant next weekend. She will be accepting a crown and sash just like all the other winners. She calls herself Miss Tennessee. Will try and put pictures on here when I get some time. Enjoy our pics.

Luke got a haircut... Daddy made me do it. This was the before picture.

After the cut... looks like a little boy more than baby.

First time in a swing... LOVED IT!!!

Luke learned to drink out of a straw this past weekend.

Things are moving right along here in the Scheetz household. Just celebrated two birthdays... mine and Mike's... getting ready for Valentine's Day. Mikayla loves holidays... regardless of which one it is. She loves all the decorations I have around the house. She now associates hearts with Valentines Day. She is getting to be such a grown up!!! Getting smarter every day... trying boundaries more and more every day too!! Her favorite thing to watch on tv right now is Food Network and Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. Brother and sister are loving each other more and more each day. They have started playing together more...mikayla loves taking toys from her brother and loves hugging him even more. Luke is getting so big. Went for his 6 month check up and everything looked great. He is 15lbs 10oz and 25 1/4 inches. Loves baby food... has not really disliked anything. His favorite right now is oatmeal with pears and cinnamon. Everything is going well. Enjoy the pictures!!
