Dawnie - so glad to hear from you!! It sounds like things are moving in the right direction for you... finally. Thank you for the picture. He is absolutely adorable. I hope you can really start having fun and enjoy your little boy! My son is now 5. It is amazing how fast time goes by... enjoy every second.

He is precious - and I'm so thankful for the good news. Keep that boy eating and growing!! And shoo the moose away from the internet lines!!

Thanks for taking the time to update us. We appreciate it! He is precious

Miss Dawnie, you have no idea how much all of us missed you.

He is the cutest thing ever (sorry any other moms). I got goose bumps when I read the post. I'm afraid that we were expecting the worst. It just put my job stress into perspective. Thanks for the wonderful news.

Thanks for posting the pic Dawnie, Those are some mighty big ears he has.
Good luck at the drs. Celebrate with fries.

What a cutie! I am so glad to hear that things are going better.

If he keeps adding weight you will need to start calling himm moose Not the cable chewing kind though.

I am glad you guys are doing well.

Oh Dawnie, it was soooooo good to hear from you and I love the picture!!! 18 lbs - wahooooo!!!

Pretty soon he'll be yelling at those moose to keep them away from the cable lines

Dawnie, thanks for the good news and the beautiful picture! Maybe the next Duct Tape Ball you can go as a chocolate moose!

Dawnie - Kiwi told me that you posted. So relieved to hear that you are all hanging in there! Love the picture - now that's the smile I remember from one of your visits here! Take care!!

Love hearing the good news. Was concerned as others that we hadn't heard from you in some time. Keep those fries coming! And keep the news coming. We all worry when we don't here from you.

WOW!!! So glad to hear that all is well. 18 pounds, who wouldda thunk it -- that is marvelous. Love the picture, he is gorgeous, just gorgeous. Of course, we should have know he would be, what with all these people praying for him.

Sounds like mom and dad are doing pretty well too. You even got your old profile working again! Thanks for sharing the great news.

He is adorable!!!

He's soooooo cute! I'm so glad you updated us, a lot of us were getting very worried!! Don't ever think we aren't thinking of your family! Sooooo glad to hear things are better.

So glad to hear from you, Dawnie AND to hear that all is well! The picture is great - he is a cutie. Next thing you know Eljay will be telling his teacher "the moose ate my homework!"

I'm posting again....I LOVE LOVE LOVE that picture...

He's adorable Dawnie...best wishes to you all!

Awww, he is so cute!!!! Good luck at the doctor's today!

Dawn, this is great--starting a new year with good news. Thank Goodness. I hope this year will bring health and an end to all past medical problems.

I'm having fun playing with pictures now heh heh

Becca, that picture of our little Bear makes me want to snap her up and hug her for hours. She's such a beautiful little girl.

And then there's santa's little Okie Dokie baby :p I'd kill for those rosy cheeks!

And if I could just snap up those bumble bees and bottle that sweetness

Kiwi's little family is so sweet. I'm sometimes sad when I see those pictures because we started far too late to fill up a bench like she did :p

And then there's EGB's babies...Good gravy woman, they're gorgeous..but how big is that child? I know ya'll claim ya grow things big in Texas but sheesh! (What does that darling weigh now? And can we borrow some of whatever you're feeding the darling?)

Jesse didn't make his weight goal (short by 4 oz) yesterday, which was disapointing since we haven't had a failed weight goal in several weeks. We'd almost believed he was "well" but I guess he does not want us to get cocky.

Part of the problem is that he's developed an unreasonable fear of the scale (Now I understand a fear of scales...but he's not trying to lose weight darnit) :p It's hard to even get a weight because he's screaming and trembling so much and won't let go of me. He's been this way the last three times we went into the doctors office (we go weekly normally) actually ever since his shots (he had six to catch up). Funny thing is, he's not afraid of the doctors exam table, where he got the shots. I just don't get it.

I tried to take him early to "visit" the scale yesterday, and let him play with it and sit on it with his french fries, but even dressed he was scared. Not as bad as undressed though.

I don't want to hang my hat on that low weight, because he was never still enough to get a real figure, but just to be safe I've given up and purchased a medical scale for home so he can see it every day and get used to it. For us, weight is our most telling symptom of his problems, so we really can't afford bad figures, so what the heck...if ya'll ever need an accurate baby weight come visit us and we'll do it for free since I've now invested in the darn thing

Oh well, life has to challenge us a little every once in a while huh?

I'm running off to mix a banana with chocolate syrup and peanut butter for the baby's lunch. Healthy as can beeeeeee heh heh

Dawnie...one trick for us is to have "hospital toys."

Toys that Natalie only gets to play with during a clinic visit. Is there special toy that Jessie likes that you use for this?...want me to buy one?....guilt gifts for kids with medical-things are my specialty ;)(well mine and the foundation that I am a board member on...)

Which brings me to another thought....I'm going to PM you right now.

Dawnie, are his eyes as dark as the seem in the picture. I love his "little Man" outfit. Thanks for the comment on my Bees. I want to get their Christmas pic up soon. Hopefully before Easter.
