A quick update

From oldest to youngest: 

Nathan is starting to ponder theology!  He told me a few weeks ago "I'm confused how Jesus can be God, but Jesus died and God isn't supposed to die." Yes, he is four!  He also wanted to know how Jesus can be God, but there is only supposed to be one God.  What is he going to be asking us when he's ten?
Nathan really loves preschool right now, but will not talk to anyone!  We are a little worried about him and so are his teachers, but have made a little progress.  Of course, he doesn't stop talking when he gets home. 
When we are home, Nathan is always finding new "crafts" to do.  He starts asking me at 8am - can we do a craft?  Of course, I'm not a morning person at all, so my response is no, let's talk about this later. :)  Nathan is so creative and amazes us daily.

Isaac has been a bundle of trouble as usual.  He went to the ER a  few weeks ago with a dislocated elbow.  Yes, he threw himself on the floor while we were walking to the bathroom.  They put it back in place and he was as good as new. I heard him counting the other day all by himself and he counted all the way up to 29!  Joe and I looked at each other in amazement.  We weren't even sure if Nathan could count that high - I asked Nathan and he can. 

Isabella is 10months old and 16lbs!  She is now on the charts for a true 10month old. We have not been using the G-tube for 4wks today.  She doesn't eat as much as we would hope, but if she is growing - we want to get rid of that G-tube!!!  She rolled over from belly to back about 2wks ago.  She is getting much stronger and is sitting supported a lot better. She is taking baby food twice a day, but is still very defensive of anything going toward her face- spoon, finger, etc.  She sleeps through the night most nights without food, but we sometimes wake her up to give her an extra bottle.  Sometimes she wakes us up to get a bottle.  She is still a very happy baby and laughs like crazy at those boys!  We will be having another suck/swallow test done on March 25th to see if we can stop thickening her formula and our hope is to have the G-tube removed in April or latest May.

We hope to have pictures posted soon! Love you!
