The Rumors Are True...

No...we're not pregnant. We're moving (at least after we sell our house)!! Jon and I have decided it's time to make the move across the river. We have been looking at houses in Missouri for the past few weeks. We haven't found one just yet, but we are getting ready to put our house on the market...most likely sometime this weekend. Who knows how long our house will be on the market, but we are in no rush. We're hoping it sells somewhat quickly just so we can be done with it, but if it doesn't we're okay with it. I'll keep everyone updated on when our house goes under contract.

Anyways, the boys are doing great!! Matthias is doing wonderful. We had a doctor's appointment last week with the urologist. It was the most pointless appointment ever! Our pediatrician thought he may have meatal stenosis...I think I talked about this a while back. Well...it's still possible that he may have it, but we have decided to wait until he is a little older to find out. We were at Cardinal Glennon for over 2 hours and left knowing nothing more than when we walked in. The nurse practitioner that saw Matthias said he was really young to be diagnosed. She asked us a series of questions and also said that stenosis cannot be diagnosed on site of the meatus alone. She then asked if we could feed him so that we could watch him go to the bathroom. After 45 minutes and still no pee she said we could leave but gave us a prescription for a steroid to treat him. Jon and I decided not to treat him and since he seems to have no problems wetting his diapers and has plenty of them we are going to wait to go back. Other than that...Matthias is on the move and continues to get quicker. He is a pro at crawling now! He is also babbling a lot more and has even started saying "mamama" now. He sure is getting big!

Justus is doing great also! His blister is all healed now. I don't think he will be touching the lawnmower again anytime soon. His new thing right now is "driving". He loves to be in the driver's seat of the van or Jon's car. He loves sitting there and playing with the wheel and pushing buttons and turning knobs. We don't let him play there much, but every once-in-a-while we will let him play "drive". His speech is continuing to improve. He has also started making gestures for certain things. When he wants something he will point and then clap or make the "more" sign in sign language. Also, when he wants picked up he puts his two hand face up...kind of like he's saying "I don't know". It's definitely nice to have an idea of what he is wanting now instead of him crying or throwing a fit.
