April 8th, 2008

Well, Carver is now 16 lbs 1 oz!! It's so good to see him gaining some weight again. Kinnick weights 15 lbs 10 oz. Carver weights more then Kinnick for a change.

Other good news.... Kinnick is starting baby food and is doing really good. She has been eating at least 1/2 of a first foods container of squash per sitting. Just a couple of weeks ago, we were only able to put a little on our finger and she would lick it off. Carver hasn't shown much interest in any kind of food lately. He cries when offered baby food and only drinks about 8 oz of formula a day. We give the rest via g-tube while he sleeps at night. Medicaid is fighting paying for the pump that we use at night. They think we should gravity feed him during the day. Sounds good except the goal is to get him to eat as much as possible during the day. We want him to function as normal as possible during the day. The hope is to get him on full feeds during the day and give up the night feeds. Not sure how this one will turn out.

We're supposed to have 3 trees and 15 shrubs in our yard within 60 days of closing on our home. Well, it has been a year now and.... we're going to get in trouble soon.

Hopefully we'll have some after pictures soon. We finally hired an architect to come up with a plan. He'll have the final pics in about 3 weeks. It will take at least another 5 weeks after that to get everything planted. Bob and I weren't getting anywhere on our own. So, hopefully this will get us out of hot water.

Happy Birthday to your beautiful children. I got your site from Stephanie. My son was born at 24 weeks on April 15, 2007 so I know what a milestone this month is:) He will also be turning 1 this year. Congrats on two beautiful kids!

Nice house. Seems like Carver is looking at the toys around him, that's a very good sign. Kinnick looks pretty as usual, especially with her pink ribbon on her hair : )

Love,
