November 22

Time for a haircut! Watching baby Einstein on YouTube. He thinks all the little puppet noises are just hilarious!!

November 17

Today is World Prematurity Day. This is Jay at 1.5 months old and about 3 pounds on the day we met.

November 16

At dinner I was reminding the twins to close their mouths while chewing, as I could hear them "smacking" and JJ immediately starts smacking his lips on purpose!! Smart little dude!! And a stinker too!

November 14

Jay joining in on family movie night. He wasn't much impressed with Mr Rogers Neighborhood- too much talking! But he enjoyed his own little video, sitting in his basket. (The basket is allowing him a safe place to explore sitting alone, while still giving him support when he needs it. Think I might have to make him a cushion for it 😊)

November 9

Playing around with some standing while watching the bath water run for his bath. He's stabilized by my knees in front and back of his pelvis, but he's the one using his back to bring himself upright!!

November 4

4 years ago this week he was a very sick baby! Extremely lethargic, puking, and had a seizure. Hydrocephalus was the problem and took the local doctor way too long to figure that out. They only took a CT scan after I measured his head and found it was 2" bigger around than it had been 2 weeks before at his well checkup. On November 10th I took him to Vanderbilt, where we should've gone right away! They put him straight in the PICU and put in a shunt the next morning.

Sitting up alone for tiny bits of time!


















On our way home from the dentist. He gave me an unexpected shock this weekend, when I found one of his top front teeth was almost loose enough to fall out! 
😨 Called the dentist and went in for X-rays this afternoon, since he's never had them before. Sooo... His 2 front top teeth have basically no roots, didn't develop roots he said. So just being held in by gums, could come out any time. There are permanent teeth way way up in his gums, so they will not be coming in till he's about 7 years old or so. Looks like we'll just be partially toothless for several years
