Spring 2012

Spring has been VERY busy around the Odom house! We hosted about 75 people at our house for a crawfish boil to celebrate the backyard finally being done and had a blast. Mark did all of the cooking and I got to let loose for the first time in 10 months. Charlie LOVED it and keeps saying he wants a crawfish birthday party. Easter was lots of fun! Charlie went to 4 different Easter egg hunts and was a pro by Easter Sunday. Mark and I loved playing the Easter bunny but it was a bit sad not being with our extended family. The very next weekend we went to Galveston for kids fest and the boys loved it! Harris is not much of a car traveler but he’s getting better. We had a bit of a scare when Charlie fell at school and bit all the way through his lip. We were so close to making it to 3 with no ER trips. Mark was in a meeting so Uncle Jay came to the rescue and helped me at the ER. I’m not sure what I would do without Jay and am starting to get depressed he’ll be in Houston over the summer.
Harris is now sleeping in his own bed in his own room in 4 hour stretches. He is HUGE! He has his official 2 month check up tomorrow but our scale already has him at 13 lbs. He LOVES to eat and (unlike his brother) will take a bottle. Charlie had a rough time adjusting to Harris at first but he is doing much better and loves his little brother.  Charlie is starting to read and knows ten sight words we put on his “word wall” in his room. He’s 100% potty trained even through the night and LOVES to pee outside. Mark and I are doing great and just enjoying our precious babies.
