158 + 54 Weeks

After several more visits to the doctor to get his bandages changed, Arley is doing much better.  As of today he is wearing his mitten, no bandage.  The skin under his blister is healed but very raw, and I think itchy, because he digs at it every chance he can get.  He also got weighed and measured, and he is in the 85th percentile for weight and the 95th for height.  No surprise really, as he is so heavy to carry around, and the little bugger still refuses to try to walk.  He cruises all day long, but as soon as you hold his hands to walk him, he sits down on his butt like a lead weight.  I didn't get many photos of him this week, not sure why.  He has been rather fussy, but who wouldn't be with four teeth coming through at once?  Three of them have finally cut, so hopefully he will be less fussy from here on out.

As for Carmie, she has had a good week.  She has had lots of visits from her US grandparents, Nema and Grandpa Clark  -  although no great photos there either :( .  They have been visiting us, spending time with the kids, playing hide and seek with Carmen, and sitting through the Willbanks' Family Fun Hour (dinner and bathtime) which is fairly hellacious.  Carmie has also been settling in to school much better too, which makes dropping her off much more pleasant.

All in all, this week was much better than last week, with no accidents and no illnesses!  Can't ask for more than that!
