The day before tomorrow

is today.  The kids are all doing great!  Henry has been so happy lately.  I'm so glad he's feeling good.  He doesn't throw up every day like he used to or even at all anymore. He eats great but still eats less .. maybe 1 to 3 ounces but has always at least gained an ounce a week.. He is nearly 12 and a half pounds at 5.5 months.  A good bit smaller than his brother who is surely over 16.  This Wednesday we leave for Seattle for his 2nd surgery.  I hope it doesn't set him back too much.

Liam is now excited to eat food! He used to throw fits about it and not want it but he has finally figured it out and is now packing in cereal. He's tried banana, pear, and yams.

Lydia is comfortable with the boys and likes to entertain them, jump for them, hug them, pet them, sing for them, talk to them, and talk and talk and talk.  She is also really excited to start reading.  She has been able to read about 30 or so flash cards with people's names and words on them which is amazing.  She wants to be able to read books so we are trying to teach her words as soon as we can... which seems effortless for her.  She'll be 3 in April.

  1. Man, Lydia is a mad woman. Abby (who does not like her nick-name, says "I'm not Abby, I'm Abigail Jade) is more theatrical. We read a lot of stories but she just pretends. She memorizes the material and then repeats it. =) That is awesome that Lydia is so into reading. What a little scholar. Can't wait to see you again. Of course my prayers will be going forth for little Henry this week. Safe travels. Post often. Love you.
