Lost the camera....

For the time-being, we've lost our camera. I'm sure Mr. Jackson has misplaced it somewhere. I promise I soon as we find it, I'll snap a bunch of pictures of the kiddos and put the pics up.

Right now, the entire Peters clan is sick. We've all got colds with MAJOR congestion & coughing. Honestly, the nasal congestion isn't all that bad. It's the coughing.....and even Miss Audrey has it. She seems to be okay, probably because she's getting my antibodies as well. Jackson is nearing the end of this horrible virus but he's had it for a week. None of us have fevers (thank goodness) but I'm taking both Jackson and Audrey to Dr. De Triquet tomorrow, just to be on the safe side. I don't want to give Audrey any meds yet, she's so young, thus I'm getting her checked out to make sure she's a-okay. Oh, and Dan's the first one to come down with this wretched virus. He had it for 2 days and was much better. But, the rest of us -- a week or more, unfortunately.

Audrey is growing like a weed. She's HUGE now. 10.5 lbs and at least 22-23 inches. She's going to be tall, I think. Jackson wasn't this tall at her age. She went through some screaming spells the past 2 days due to her reflux medication (we mix it with Mylanta, as per the instructions). The Mylanta contains Magnesium, which apparently was giving her horrible gas. So, we switched to something else and now she's back to wonderful ol' self. I felt so badly for her with that gas....

Jackson has picked up a ton of new words: "Easy," "Pop, "Toe," "Dog-gie," "Dirty," "No, No." He has also learned "OWW" for when something hurts. He'll look at us and say, "OWWW!" We didn't teach him that one so that's the first worst that he's "picked up" from us. OH BOY! He also says "Hoooo, Hooo" when you ask him what an owl says. He's said "ball" for a while but now it's "BAAWWHHLL" with a huge country accent. No one has that much of a southern accent in our family so I'm not sure where he picked that up. When you ask him if he went poopy, he grabs his diaper and pulls on it. If we are changing a poopy diaper, I'll say "EWWW" and he'll say, "DIRT-EE." Those are just a few of the new words. I can't remember all of the new ones. He's experienced a vocabulary explosion. Needless to say, I'm thrilled and am taking full advantage of this opportunity. I'm introducing as many words right now as possible. The above video shows just some of his vocabulary. My camera only allows for a minute and 20 seconds worth of video so I'll try to shoot a couple more videos of his other words and show you all his knowledge (he knows where his nose and eyes are, points to the sky when you ask where the plane is or when he hears a plane, points to Mommy in a picture and points to Daddy in a picture, etc.)

Dan's sister, Bern, is due anyday, literally. Her due date was a week ago so we are all on pins and needles waiting for Baby Anne to arrive. We keep calling to see if she's had any signs of impending labor but nada yet. Praying for a safe delivery for Bern, Champie and Baby Anne. I can't wait to see who she looks like, as the Peters' tend to have very strong genes (ex: Audrey and Jackson). I think she's going to be absolutely gorgeous!!

Will update with pix as soon as we find that darn camera.....:>)
