We had a great summer, it went by too fast but we managed to go the beach with friends and swim in our pool some. Emaleigh and Michael are reaching all of their milestones and it looks like they are on track for 2 year old toddlers.
Over the past few weeks we've noticed that Emaleigh and Michael still listen to us, we'll see how that goes over the next few weeks, since they are turning 2.
Michael has been doing wonderful developmentally but having some food issues lately and we've finally realized his issues are from his Capri Sun flavored waters. Apparently he has some digestion issues/allergies with NutraSweet. We've finally discontinued these and he is doing well. Poor guy. We think he still might be having problems with whole milk too, so in a couple of weeks we'll start introducing whole milk and see how he manages.
Emaleigh has been doing well too. She's been amazing getting around, her drive and determination appears to be limitless. We're scheduled for surgery in November where they will be performing a transmetatarsal amputation (removal of toes and long foot bones) in both feet. She'll be in "non walking" casts for 6 weeks. This is going to be a really tough time for us and we're still discussing if this is the right time for her. The doctors recommend performing this surgery before the age of 3.
I'll be posting some pictures of their birthday in a couple of weeks so check back. I'm also working on getting a great video of Emaleigh dancing on youtube. I'll post that soon.
