Three Amigos
I just love these sweet little buddies to pieces (and their mommas too!) Larkin (13 months), John (10 months) and Grayson (13 months)
Adjustment
We are settling into a new routine. In some ways, I feel like I’m back in the newborn days, not really knowing what I’m doing and waking up several times a night to “feed”. But, out of respect for all you mommies of newborns (I have a lot of friends who have had babies recently),…
13 Months
Dear Grayson, Well, this letter is a week and a half late, but we’ve been a little busy! We celebrated your birthday, and then a week later, we strapped ourselves in for one crazy roller coaster ride! You wouldn’t know by looking at your sweet little grin, but your 13th month has been tough. Tough…

Sunday
A lot of you have asked for an update- there’s not a lot of new news, because today has been just a waiting day. Since they don’t do the Upper GI or Swallow Study tests on the weekend, there wasn’t much to do today except keep Grayson comfortable and hydrated through the IV. We did…
