I have big news today! Gabriel got moved into the big kid hall! He's still in the NICU, but this is the hall for the bigger, healthier, more stable babies. We are now one step closer to getting out of here!
He still does have a feeding tube, it just got pulled out when I got him out of the incubator. He was not happy about having it put back in...
That is so exciting… Congratulations! Must feel good not to have the wee baby on the block! You can tell he is putting on weight because his skin doesn't sag on his little frame so much anymore.
Josy is a funny little boy. The things that come out of his mouth are the best. And sometimes he describes things in a really funny way. Yesterday we went on a bike ride and there was a worm on the plastic wind cover, but he kept telling me that there was a worm on the windshield and it took me a while to figure it what he was talking about. I thought he saw a stick on a car’s windshield that we drive past… J: We need to get out our Halloween decorations. M: Oh, we already did. J: Where are they??? M: We don’t have any. So they’re already out. J: We need to get some! M: No. I don’t do anything scary. J: It’s not scary. It’s just a pot. M: What? J: The pot at Home Depot, with the fake blood. We need to get it. M: No J: It does not give me nightmares. The guy with the beak and the goggles, that gave me nightmares. ———— J: It would be cool if my lunchbox had batteries! Then I could play video games! M: That would be weird. J: Not weird. Awesome. Then I could play video games all the time....
This week was all about baseball. Josy had two games. Gabe had a practice and two games. This week they were on different nights, so we all got to go to all of the games. This week they are all on top of each other, so that’s going to make life much more complicated… Tball is going well. I mean, as well as tball possibly can… However, baseball is going really well. The kids are actually playing ball. At the last game, the other team even turned a double play!
After a long day of driving (or flying…), everyone just needed a quiet day at home. There was swimming, opening some family Christmas presents and Knox got to practice walking. Unfortunately my pictures decided to load backwards, so that’s fun…
That is so exciting… Congratulations! Must feel good not to have the wee baby on the block! You can tell he is putting on weight because his skin doesn't sag on his little frame so much anymore.
