Weekend in Durham

Winston and mommy had a great weekend playing in Durham with friends. Winston was ALL over the place. He is definitely all boy and in to everything! Within 5min of arriving in Durham Winston had busted his lip, skinned his chin and received a bloody nose...in two separate accidents. Winston enjoyed playing with his good bud Tyler and meeting new baby Madison while mom enjoyed taking a break with her girlfriends.

Winston's new trick is walking backwards. He really enjoys this...he just doesn't look to see what he is going to bump into. Today Winston fell landing on some of Daddy's tools ending in a laceration to the side of his face requiring dermabond. Good thing mom keeps some on hand!

Pretty baby girl Madison.

Madison gets all the boys attention.

We love to get dirty!

Easter

Winston had a wonderful Easter weekend. He went to three Easter egg hunts and really got the hang of it! Granny came to his Easter egg hunt at Daycare and spent the day with him on Friday then it was off to Washington on Saturday for Easter party number two with B at her country club. The weather was so nice Winston was able to play in the sand and water at Bs house....he throws a tantrum when its time to come in. He had a precious Easter outfit given by Sissy, which he wore to all the Easter parties and church.

Yum, cake!

Sweet boy!

Eating again!

Winston loves the sand and the pretty weather!

Pretty Easter egg! The first egg he made went flying over the table and just missed a little girl....well...it does kind of look like a ball!

Another Easter egg hunt! Winston has the hang of it now.

Yea! The Easter Bunny came to visit!

Hey, its easier to just take them out of others baskets!

Found one!

We have tubes!

Winston had his tubes put in on Thursday. He did great! It was over before we knew it and he was back to normal within the hour. Mom took the day off Friday to spend with Winston, we had lots of fun. Granny came Friday night to keep Winston and Dad took Mom to a surprise birthday party!

Birthday number 3 of 4. Turning 30 is great!

Winston has helped Mom celebrate her 30th birthday all week! He himself also received a birthday present from his good buddy Tyler. We cant wait to use the fishing pole this summer and he loves his little seat. Winston has really taking an interest in basketball with all the basketball on TV. He is pretty darn good too. . . we are looking for a scholarship!

Tay Tay, Weese and Wes came to take us out to dinner. Winston and Tay Tay got a game of hoops in before we left.

I love my new seat!

Another attack of the hives. The day we went to the ENT visit Winston began to have hives. This lasted for three days. We went through three different prescription medications and they finally went away. We are unsure of the cause but it may have been a sequela to the stomach virus, whatever it was we are glad its gone!

Winston enjoyed a fun day at the park and then crashed when we got home. Unfortunately he woke up with a high fever which led to the stomach bug starting at two o'clock the next morning. The entire family would eventually get it. We kept our ENT appt and surgery was set for March 25th. We are hoping this improves his hearing as Winston is still not talking. The time changed helped his sleeping habits and he is finally consistently sleeping through the night!

Zonked after a long day of playing!

Winston still is not that interested in the animals at the petting zoo, I think the pony was more interested than him!

Winston loves to slide!

It looks like Winston may be on his way to get tubes. We go to see the ENT next week. This comes after trying four different antibiotics for ear infections we have had since early December. We hope this improves his speech as well. Winston may not be talking much but he is definitely wide open. He is practically running now and tries to jump. He loves playing ball and if he cant find a ball he will throw anything he can get his hands on!

Winston enjoyed spending the weekend with Granny while Mom went to play with Barbie and Madison. We both had a great time! We plan to spend a low key weekend at home this weekend.

First boat ride of the year. Cold and short!
