To Know Him Is To Love Him

I know I said it wouldn't be so long between blogs. I didn't mean for it to be! Nothing really crazy has happened, so this blog is pretty much just an update. :-)

David is growing like a weed!! He is 3 months old, 12 pounds, and 23.5 inches long!







The mornings are my favorite time. He's wide awake and smiles and coos at us. If only he would sleep through the night. He is finally getting better at falling asleep in the crib instead of needing us to bounce and walk I'm around. Don't get me wrong, that still happens on occasion, but it's much less the norm. As I type now, I can hear him snoring and it is music to my ears.

This week David found his reflection. He lays on his activity mat and talks and smiles for at least 20 minutes. I love sitting and watching him. The first time, I made him hold the toys that hang off the mat. The next time, he reached for and grabbed them on his own. He's such a big boy!







Tomorrow we are heading to Louisville to meet with the research team at UofL. They're starting an electronic monitoring program as part of their Shunt Dependency Program. This program involves monitoring all aspects of David's health (weight, length, breathing, oxygen level, etc). By monitoring these, they're hoping to be able to tell if something is going wrong with his shunt before it gets bad. This is a brand new program and hopefully it will lead to it being used to diagnose other medical issues like asthma and diabetes. It's kinda neat being pioneers in new technology!

We're leaving super early tomorrow, so I should probably get some sleep.

I PROMISE it won't be as long to the next blog. We got the blogger app, so it's easier to do.

Night all!
