What we have been up to!

What a busy couple of weeks! Let's see! Where do I begin?? Mimi, my mom came into town! It was wonderful! We had a great visit! I miss her so much! She was a lifesaver! During her stay, Finlee caught a very bad virus! She had between a 102 and 103 fever for 4 whole days! It was so scary. The doctor thought she had a urinary tract infection. I never have heard of a baby getting that, but apparently it is common. So the ended up pricking her heel to take some blood.That came back ok, but they also put a catheter in my sweet baby. Needless to say we both cried!!! She ended up not having that. After 4 heel pricks, a catheter, three doctors visit, throwing up, an ER visit, and utter miserableness, she is better!! My mom was the best. She just held her and rocked her. Finlee loved it! Finlee loves Mimi! Ford was thrilled to see her as well. He went with me to pick her up at the airport and was thrilled the moment he saw her!!! He can't wait to go on the airplane to see her in June.
We have been spending a lot of time outside on the screened porch. The weather has been wonderful, minus a few days! The kids love to be outside. Finlee loves to crawl everywhere and pull up on things and let go and plop down. She is walking around things holdong on. She will be an early walker I can feel it! Pray for us!! Two mobile children means a lot of running! She is completely infactuated with Ford. Watches his every move. He ofcourse feels the same. He has become very protective of her and loves to help me with her. He loves to give her her bottle although she tries to hold it herslef but he refuses to let her! He randomly goes up to her and hugs her and tells her he loves her! So sweet! They are too cute! I cannto believe she is 8 months and that he will be three in two months! Where has the time gone!! Below are some pictures! They are a little out of order, but you can tell what they are from! Enjoy!
