The Crandalls: 5 week old pics

I'm a few days late posting David's 5 week old pictures but things have been a bit crazy around here. Big D was in Austin last weekend for South By Southwest so Baby D decided it would be a good time to start throwing up after every feeding! I ended up in the ER with him on Saturday so that they could give him some fluids and make sure he wasn't dehydrated, so after some blood work and anti-nausea medicine, they sent us home. David got home from his trip on Sunday and that's when Ella started throwing up. I got SUPER nervous that we were dealing with the stomach flu but she only threw up a couple of times that night and then she was fine.....praise the Lord! However, over the next few days we all got head colds which meant lots of coughing and sneezing. :( We're still dealing with that mess, but I THINK we are on the downhill side of it all so I'm hopeful that this coming week will be much easier. To wrap up the week, I took Big D to the hospital on Thursday for a scheduled hernia repair surgery. He did great and is now at home recovering. All of that occurred in just one short week so you should now understand why I haven't had time to post! :) However, here are some pics I took to remember week #5.

This is his favorite seat in our house. In fact, he sleeps in his bouncy seat almost every single night.

He wore himself out talking :)

I definitely want to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to my mother-in-law. It's never been easy for me to accept the fact that my mom lives over a thousand miles away in Indiana, but if there was one person I would want by my side on a daily basis who wasn't my mom.....it would be Linda. She CONSTANTLY takes care of me and my kiddos. She watches them when I have doctor's appointments, cleans my house while I am gone so that I can rest when I get home, cooks us dinner, picks them up for random outings so that I can have some peace and quiet for a few hours, lets them spend the night so that they can have a change in scenery and even demands that I take a nap instead of using my alone time to clean or do laundry! Now THAT is a treat!!!! I truly appreciate ALL you do for me Linda. You are a wonderful mother-in-law and grandma and I THANK YOU!!!!
