Baylor's Dr Visit

We saw the hematologist for 3 month check up today & Baylor's blood counts have dropped some. She wants us to come in 2 weeks & check again just to make sure it wasn't due to cold or infection or anything. It sucked. I don't know how we feel when we leave with news like that. I know it hurts Adam. I have mixed feelings. Mad, helpless, ??? I feel like we're just in a waiting game to bone marrow transplant. Thank God we have great doctors & scientists that can do amazing things like transplants. Keep praying!

Christmas 2009

We have so many Christmases! We had Christmas with Adam's Mom & Rick, then Christmas with Adam's dad & Perky, then Christmas eve and my Meme's, Christmas Morning with my dad and Christmas afternoon in Lake Charles with the Janese's. Whew...so much fun! The kids, of course, have a great time.

Ouch!

Baylor's been getting his growth hormnone shots for about 2 weeks now. He stills cries about them, but its all in his head. Adam and I both gave ourselves one and couldn't feel a thing. Adam says we could sell the medicine (HGH) to some baseball players and make some $$! haha
We have to alternate the shot locations so it goes left arm, right arm, left leg, right, left butt cheek, right & then stomach. The other day on the way home he was wondering where his shot was going to be that night and he says, " Mommy, are we finished with both of my butts?" I cracked up.

Adeline Learned to Yell

And she yells all day at her toys!

Baylor is 8!

Wow! We can't believe it. It sometimes seems we're stuck in a time warp because other people's children grow & look huge,but not Baylor. He certainly doesn't look 8, but it's true. I can't believe it's been so long. We are so lucky to have him. He has this energy that draws people in & we have no idea why because he doesn't even talk to people! haha Eight great years, and now he's such a good big brother.
We celebrated at Joe's because all Baylor wants to eat is crab. So he had a huge pot of crab & a gigantic piece of chocolate cake!

In the 20's

Yes, that's the weather temp I'm talking about. It's in the 20's in Houston, Texas. It's sad that it's this cold with no snow! Of course, I can't even get Baylor to put gloves on because he never gets very cold. We are spending the whole weekend inside eating soup and gumbo.

Deer Hunter Fun

My mom gave Baylor & Adam a new toy for Christmas. It has become mostly Adam's. It's a version of that old arcade game, Big Buck Master, I think. Adam & Baylor always play it on arcade when we go to pizza joints. Well, the gun just hooks into your TV and you shoot deer, ducks, cow patties, and some other random things. Here's Baylor standing on my bed playing! They love it.

How Fast Babies Learn

It amazes me that in about 3 days a baby can go from having no use of her hands (I don't even think she knew they were attached to her body) to having total control. I don't remember watching these little milestones as closely when Baylor was a baby. She learned this over the Christmas break. She can now grab whatever she wants and put it in her mouth. The favorite is mommy's hair!
