February 27th







He looks really ticked off in that last picture, huh? Had to put that one in. Along with the bath in Grandma Whee's sink (with grandma's fat arms!).
Christian is doing very well. He is now 9 pounds exactly. They are talking of doing his next surgery in April or May. We will keep you all posted on that.
He is just getting cuter and cuter every day. He is laughing and smiling all of the time! He lays and coos at you like he is telling you the most important story. And he is!
We sure do love this little guy!
Bryan has to go for flight school soon. He will be gone for a few months. I think Nicole and Christian will be with us quite a bit. That will be nice.
Thanks for dropping in! I will post more news and photos soon!

3 months and 8.5 lbs!

Our little man was 8.5 lbs at his appointment a week ago. I bet he's pushing 9 lbs at this point! We celebrated his first Valentines Day and have had a good day. The past couple of days he's been a bit grumpy, but I guess I would be too if I were having trouble "passing" things...poor guy! He has started cooing and laughing and talking up a storm! I just love it! He smiles like it's going out of style and it is just the cutest thing EVER! He has quite the personality! We're still not sure when the next surgery will be, but he has to be at least 11 lbs in order to schedule it. As scary as it is, I'm hoping it will get here, happen, go well and be done so we can have a year or two before his last surgery. Keep your fingers crossed!
