I Can't Believe It Has Been Almost 6 Months

Time is continuing to fly. We are enjoying the boys every day. They continue to amaze us and make us smile. Kyle and I went shopping today for Christmas gifts for the boys which was lots of fun. The boys have their 6 month appointment on December 4th where I will be excited to get their new measurements.

Jacen is very interested in what Nathan is doing all the time. He will even look concerned when Nathan is crying. The boys enjoy playtime together as well as storytime.



I am definitely learning that God is in control. Nathan wasn't supposed to live very long, and he is now over 5 months old. He had refused to bottle ever since our last hospital stay, but now he is taking 1 ounce bottles. He is enjoying tummy time and even lifting his head. While sitting in the bumbo, he loves to look around and has started holding items that I put in his hand. Nathan and Daddy enjoyed watching The Muppet Movie together. Since the doctors increased the calorie count of Nathan's formula he has been a lot more alert and happy. He even slept for 5 hours last night in his bassinet. I DO realize that his kidneys are only functioning at 20%, but he is definitely my fighter. I am learning to cherish every moment through all of this. Please continue to pray for a miracle!



Jacen is really starting to grab things as well as put everything in his mouth even the side of the bumbo. He has decided it is more fun to sit in the bumbo and play with things on the floor rather than on the tray.

Awww, they are precious! Nathan is such a strong little boy! I love all the pictures, but my heart melted when I saw the one of Jacen holding the puppy on top of him (the last one), and the first one of Nathan in the "Nathan only section."
