New baby

We have been struggling with Wilson's feeding for about 6 weeks now and on Monday we finaaly got a dr. to listen to us. He looked in the back of his throat and saw that he has no ulvula and this is a sign of a cleft pallate. So off we went to the earppointment at Duke , nose and throat dr and feeding specialist who confirmed that he has a mild cleft pallate. Wel, by th grace and luck of God, we got an an appt at Duke w/ their cleft pallate team. We now have a speech therapist, audiologist, plastic surgeon, and an oral surgeon. He will have surgery at 9 months to fix the problem. He should have little impact on speech. We haved changed his bottles to use a pigeon botle for cleft babies. We have also bought special pacifers for him to.

the red dog actually helps him hold a pacifer, since he can't. We are estatic that we know what is finally wrong and how to fix it. The bottles made an instant change and he could eat easily for once in his little lifetime. we will keep you updated on everything as it progresses. it is time for wilson to have his bath

Happy Valentine's Day

! Mommy bought me an outfit to mark the day!

We also went out to lunch with all of mommy's meredith friends. Here are some pictures:

First Full week of school

Well we made it through our first week of school and Wilson isn't sick yet! He did a great job and I made it through okay. It sure makes the day go by quicker when you want to see and hold something so bad! I really like the day care and he is doing super in it so far.
Today we are off to meet all the Meredith girls for some lunch and a visit to Meredith. Shannon and Frankie are also meeting us a bit early so that we can get Shebly and Mollie's brithday gifts and pick something up for Daddy since his birthday is Tuesday.
Well, I need to go shower and get dressed while little W is asleep from his morning bottle. I promise to post pictures later tonight of all of our outings and Valentine's day!

1st day of school

I had my first day of school. Mommy said thath she cried a good part of the day but she came to get me at 3 today. She was happy to see a meredith girl holding me. She also said something that she knew she was in good hands b/c the girl was an even grad of meredith (she graduates in 2008).
After school mommy took me to meet my cousins Meri Kate and Joseph. We had a great time and I got to be loved on by everyone.
Mommy said that the computer is going slow so she is tired and will post pictures tomorrow. She says taht I have been keeping her up to late! They keep throwing this word colic around. Wonder what it means... Oh well. I am off to go to sleep and mommy is too. Daddy is due home from work soon and that means family time at my 2 am feeding. I love family time. Mommy, Daddy, me and Otis all share a bottle time.

Working Boy

Mommy has been taking me to work for the past week, so we apologize for not updating quiet as often. Mommy's boss's father passed away so we went in to help and have just continued to go in! I have an awsome set up in her office- a pack n play, bouncy seat and lots of ladies to ohh and awe over me! I have a blast!
I am also over a month old- can you believe it? As of Friday I weighed in at a whopping 8lds 11 ozs, getting bigger and bigger each day!
Mommy is also hopping to put more pictures up soon, but she lost the camera card so we have to go to walmart and buy another one (She blames her forgetfulness on me- can you believe that?) We also have to go buy valentines cards for everyone and a birthday gift for daddy. He will have his first birthday with me- he should feel blessed!
Well, we ar egoing to make our trek back to Holly Springs now.
