This Week in Pictures

JACEN

Jacen started crawling instead of army crawling this week.

He is everywhere now even under my scrapbook table.

Why stand when he can reach it kneeling?

REAL green beans :)

Jacen is pulling up on everything now.

Jacen wanted in Nathan's swing. He was so happy!

Cute smile!!!!!!

Jacen still prefers other things besides toys.

Nathan can get really far when he is MAD!!!!!

Nathan had allergies which caused an awful cough, so he slept a lot this week.

Tummy Time!

JUMP FOR NATHAN

Our Sunday School class had a benefit for Nathan with Bounce houses, concession stand, silent auction, baby boutique, and bake sale. We went for a little while, but Jacen didn't like the baby bouncer at all!!!!

Daddy and his boys :)

Alison and Nathan. She was one of his therapists in NICU.

Thank you to our wonderful Sunday School class for holding such a wonderful event for us. We really appreciate all of you!!!!

Kyle's Birthday

Since we had family in town we celebrated Kyle's birthday a little bit early.

Kyle pretending to blow out the candles because I missed the shot.

We had Family Commitment Sunday at church. None of my pictures that I took were worth putting on the blog :( After a brunch which included a talk by Brian Offutt, visiting, and gifts, all the babies born this year were recognized and prayed over during church service. Kyle and Kathy made an awesome video. Thank you to all who made it a wonderful day!

Who Needs Toys Anyway

We always seem to stay busy, but with what exactly I am not sure. We went to the nephrologist on Thursday. We didn't learn anything new except Nathan's kidneys are still functioning at about 25%. Nathan continues to see Dr. Sanders, the chiropractor, twice a week. He still seems more happy and content. ECI, bloodwork, and Nathan's hospice nurse visits were also part of this week. People from church continue to bring us food, help with Jacen during appointments, and help around the house. We are very thankful for these wonderful giving people.

JACEN

Jacen pulled himself up to reach over the couch.

Jacen learned how to get from crawling to sitting this week, so he was practicing in bed and fell asleep sitting up.

I put a few toys in the middle of the room for Jacen to play with while I fed Nathan, but he decided to go lay with all his toys and look at a book.

Patches and Jacen both thought they needed my breakfast.

Jacen loves to get under the recliner while I am feeding Nathan. I carefully crawled out of the recliner to take this picture.

Jacen army crawls everywhere now. He seems to like to explore everything especially things that aren't his toys. Grandparents I am not sure what to have you buy him for his birthday. He prefers things other than his toys!!!!

Jacen is getting pretty good at eating cheerios and drinking out of a cup.

Jacen had real bananas this weekend. He wasn't too sure.

Jacen this weekend has seemed really interested in standing. Kyle was seeing if he needed something shorter than our furniture to pull up on and a laundry basket of all things worked!

NATHAN

This is what Nathan does when I put him on tummy time, and he doesn't want to be on tummy time. Yes he scooted himself!

Nathan's cute little feet.

He fell asleep "sitting" with us on the futon about 7pm. He slept there until his 11pm bottle.

Bumbo Time

Lights are more interesting than toys.

He wanted to look outside.

It was so nice on Friday that we took a stroller ride.

Jacen loves Nathan
