Avery's (delayed) 7 month post! And some other stuff...

This is a very late seven month post, seeing as how she was seven months on February 18th. Oops. Unfortunately, she spent a good portion of the month of February sick. She started off with what we though was just a cold and cough because Caleb had the same cough first, but then one night when she had a fever of 103.5 and was seeming really out of it, we decided to take her to Community Care. They told us she had RSV and sent us home with a nebulizer to do breathing treatments every four hours and some other medicine. First they gave us an antibiotic, but then when we took her to our regular doctor two days later, he said the antibiotic wasn't really needed (and it was making her sick) so he gave us a different steroid medicine to try and clear up her cobweby sounding lungs. After about a week she seemed a lot better and within about two weeks she seemed pretty much over it. We are just glad to have out smiley girl back!

Gabe and Caleb are both enjoying school and they had this special Dr. Seuss week this last week of February. There was one day that Gabe dressed up like Thing 1 from Cat in the Hat. They did a lot of fun activities every day and finished out the week by eating green eggs and ham.

Also, I have a funny Gabe story. So Gabe was asking me about what my favorite birthday I ever had was and I was telling him about my 11th birthday when my mom surprised me a with a limo. Then I was telling him what the inside of a limo looks like and that they have a window that rolls up so you can either see the driver or not. Gabe asked, "Why would you want the driver not to be able to see you?" and I said, "Maybe you just want privacy." And he goes, "Maybe if you need to change you clothes or something?" and I say, "Or if you are on a date with a girl and you want to kiss her and you don't want the driver to see." And he says to me in a serious voice, "That's a little inappropriate to be talking to a kid about." It just made me laugh out loud. I think it was because the voice he said it in still sounds so little, like, "That's a little inap-wo-pw-iate to be talking to a kid about," but yet he was lecturing me. haha.

Otherwise, we have just been busy getting out house organized. We got some new living room furniture with our tax return and finally sold our craigslist couches! (For $50 more than we paid for them 5 years ago! haha! My dad would be proud.) I have been stressing about every little decision, which is of course driving Josh crazy. I also have been still couponing, which Josh likes because it saves a lot of money! I really like it too. It's fun finding good deals.

That's about all for now!

Here's some pictures!
