Jack used the potty for the first time...all on his own. He asked to use it earlier this evening. I took his diaper off and he actually peed on the potty! He was SO proud of himself! I told him if he keeps trying, we'll go pick out some new dinosaur underwear (he loves dinos).
Go Jack!

Sick kids
Both of the boys are sick. Sam has RSV (or something similar) and a double ear infection! Plus he developed a fungal infection underneath his helmet. So he's on antibiotics for his ear and an anti-fungal for his head. He had his monthly scan to determine how the helmet was working and he had a huge improvement! The lower part of his head improved by over 50% and the upper part was around 25%. Part of the reason he developed the fungal infection was his helmet was getting too tight because he grew so much that first month. I didn't realize it was getting that tight. I feel really, really bad now. Sam is wheezing a bit and coughing occasionally, otherwise he's doing quite well for how sick he is.
Jack has the same virus Sam has. He had a 102.5 degree fever this morning. He kept telling me "Mommy, I don't feel good. Mommy, I don't feel good." I felt so bad! I gave him some ibuprofen and within an hour he was 75% normal Jack. I am hoping he'll wake up feeling better in the morning.
Jack has some big news...which I will post separately!

I've been slacking...
Quick update!
Sammy is trying SO HARD to crawl. He gets on his belly and his little legs are flying all around. Sometimes his legs are pointing straight at the ceilings. His stomach muscles are just too weak...but he gets stronger every day. I would think he'll be crawling within 1 to 2 months.
He is tolerating the helmet. He has this weird bony bump behind one of his ears. I don't know if it is because his ear is not in the right place (due to the plagio) or if it's from the helmet or what it is. He has an appointment with his plastic surgeon tomorrow, so I'll ask him what the bump is. I wasn't very impressed with the plastic surgeon though, but figured all he was really doing was rubber stamping the helmet acquisition so insurance would cover it.
I suspect Sam might have another ear infection. If he is grumpy again Monday, I will call and get him an appointment to get it checked.
He ate a bit of banana today. I think he might be ready for solids soon!
I will make an effort to update more. Things have just been so crazy!
