The Salvatierras: 6 Weeks Old

Wow, finally I have a second to blog just a little...we'll see how much I can type out with both hands before somebody needs me to hold them. (c: Yes, Ethan is 6 weeks old and my, how the time has flown! I still plan to blog about the time when our parents were here, I just might have to wait until I have a bigger chunk of time.
Since they left, though, Noah began school again, where they have insisted that he be potty-trained. That's been fun. We'll keep you posted on that progress once we see a little more. We also determined that Noah, in fact, needs glasses to correct "strabismus", which means his eyes aren't quite lined up. Read more here . We still have a lot to learn about this and it will be a big adjustment for Noah. If he wears them all the time, there's a good chance that the problem can be corrected and he won't need the glasses anymore. There's also a chance that he may need to wear a patch over the stronger eye for a time during the treatment. This is a lot to handle for a 3-yr-old, not to mention us, as we will surely need to encourage him to keep them on all the time.
Anyways, these two brothers are getting along great. Noah, upon waking or arriving home from school, immediately asks for Ethan and still just loves holding and kissing him! The other day, Noah heard Ethan sneeze and said, "Ethan has the bless you's!" He always talks to him in a higher pitch, sweet voice - must have picked that up from somewhere.
Ethan is starting to smile at me a little, but I still haven't been able to catch it in a picture. He's sleeping, at times, for 6 hour stints through the night in his own room. Truly, he is so sweet and I am just trying to soak up this stage as much as I can - now, I understand how quickly it goes.
Forgive the random nature of this blog I hope to be a little more coherent in those to come.
