New Crib

Two very wonderful people gave us a brand new crib for Caleb. They had wanted to do something for us when Caleb was born regarding baby furniture. Because we thought that Caleb would only be with us for a short while we decided to not get any furniture. He would stay in a bassinet that was just his size. Now that Caleb has amazed us all and is 6 months old, it is time to move up into a crib! What an awesome milestone. He loves his new sleeping arrangements. Thank you so much for the amazing gift. I love looking over at him sleeping, he's such a big boy. He's also surrended by pictures of all his little friends & angels.

Applesauce

We were so excited...Caleb tried his first baby food...applesauce. He doesn't take anything by mouth so we wanted to start out slow. I don't know that he will be able to take a lot of the baby food but he at least gets to try new flavors. He seemed to do really well. Another awesome milestone!

Synagis Shot

Went in to his Pediatrician's office to get his Synagis shot for RSV and his flu shot. I've heard other t18 mommies whose little ones have gotten RSV and gotten really sick or died. It is so scary. Blessed that we were able to get the shots. They are $1800.00 a shot each month for I think 5 months. Thank goodness for insurance!
Since last week he is up to 11 lbs 13.5 oz! Yay!!!

Cardiology appt

The appointment went well. There hasn't been any change. Which is a good thing. We would like it to be better but at least it isn't worse. I talked with his Cardiologist about how another t18 mommy had told me about how her little one's pulmonary hypertension had gotten better with having a bipap. He explained that it can get better if the ph isn't caused by lung disease. I asked if we knew that with Caleb. He said no but that it may be a good idea to have a scan of his lungs to see where the cause of the ph may be. If it isn't lung disease then there may be hope to correct some of it. Praying, praying, praying. The only problem is that we will not allow Caleb to go under sedation for any of these tests. It is too dangerous. So we need to see how creative we can get to get this done. He is weighing in at 11 lbs 8 oz!!

Happy 6 month Birthday!!!!



We celebrated Caleb's big day at Silver Springs. It was a beautiful day. I can't believe that he is 6 months old...I just cry when I think of how incredibly blessed we are. Not only for having Caleb but for having such a wonderful family.
There were hardly any people there. Caleb got to see birds for the first time....and boy were they loud. We got to tell Caleb's story to several people. They wondered why we were celebrating his 6 month birthday. So I had to gladly tell them :) We made some beautiful memories. Devin just adores his little brother. We were sad that Corey wasn't with us. But we will go again soon. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY! We love you so much Caleb.

Talking to my animals

Caleb loves being in his swing....most of the time :) He has learned that being held a lot is not so bad either. Which we don't mind doing. I think the fact that he acts so much like any other baby is amazing. You can really hear him talk in the video. It may make you a little motion sick, I was loopy after taking it. But I love all the talking he did.

Laughs



Daddy was kissing on Caleb and making him laugh. I LOVE IT! There is nothing better than the laughter of your children.
