Recent Happenings

These are some of the pictures that we had taken recently of Bryce and Jacob. It took a whole hour to get these. Jacob was a great help!

Our favorite picture is the one that I am using on the blog.

Thursday, I took Jacob to get his permanent cast on. It is neon green. He loves the color green and just about has me talked into painting his room green. The problem with green is that his bedding has various shades of blue and tan in it so green doesn't match. I see some shopping in my future.

Bryce had a doctor's appt. on Friday. He weighed in at 15 lbs 3 oz and was 24 1/2 inches long. He is such a big boy now. The appt. was to go over the tests that we had done on him. All tests were negative or normal. He is doing so well right now. The doctor and I agreed that it must be due to the Prevacid that he is on. Once we changed him to that med and upped the dose, he became a new baby. He is smiling lots, cooing, babbling, razzing. Our plan is to keep him on all meds until 6 months of age and then we can see if he is ready to come off of them.

Please keep his progress in your prayers. Also, pray for his sleep schedule. He is finally sleeping through the night but he thinks his day begins at 5am. We don't get him up until 6am so he goes in and out of sleep until 6am or later. This is hard on us. I am forced to go to bed early so that I can get up with him. Shane and I alternate the early mornings which is really helpful for me. Our hope is that as we get him going to bed earlier and earlier (we are at 9:15pm right now) he will sleep in later and later. But I just think he is wired for early morning wake up...Ugh!
