LOOK WHO'S 5 MONTHS OLD!

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE? OUR JACE IS 5 MONTHS OLD TODAY!! AND A YEAR AND A FEW DAYS AGO, WE HAD JUST FOUND OUT WE WERE EXPECTING THIS NEW BUNDLE OF JOY! AT 5 MONTHS, JACE IS COOING AND "TALKING" UP A STORM, SMILING AT EVERYTHING, EATING CEREAL, AND SLEEPING LIKE A CHAMP! ALL I KNOW, IS THAT WE HAVE COME A LOOOOOOOONG WAY, BABY! WE LOVE YOU!


JACE'S BIRTHDAY


ROUGH DAYS IN NICU -- THESE WERE TERRIBLE DAYS AND WE ARE SO GLAD TO BE ON THIS SIDE OF IT! THANK GOD FOR A HEALTHY BABY NOW!


STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A FAMILY!


GOING HOME... 38 DAYS LATER!

WE MADE IT TO 5 MONTHS! ISN'T HE A DOLL!!




AND YES, HE DOES HAVE ME WRAPPED AROUND HIS FINGER! AND I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!

AS PROMISED, HERE ARE PICS OF OUR TBALL STAR! AREN'T MY BOYS JUST PRECIOUS!?!?! WE HAVE BEEN DOWN WITH THE COUNT THIS WEEK... GARRETT HAS THE CRUD WITH COUGH, RUNNY NOSE, FEVER, AND EAR INFECTION, AND WE ARE JUST HOPING THAT JACEROO CAN AVOID IT! GARRETT IS FINALLY STARTING TO PERK UP A BIT, BUT HAS MISSED SCHOOL ALL WEEK! YUCK! HERE'S HOPING THE WEEKEND WILL BE UNEVENTFUL AND WE CAN CELEBRATE EASTER WITH NO ILLNESS! MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED EASTER WEEKEND!

SICK! AND SOME SUPER CUTE PICS!

WE ARE HAVING A BUSY WEEK ALREADY... WE STARTED MONDAY OFF IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE WITH GARRETT. HE WAS ON THE THIRD DAY OF 100 PLUS FEVER AND STARTED COMPLAINING YESTERDAY OF AN EAR ACHE. WHEN WE GOT TO THE DR, HE HAD 101.2 FEVER, AN EAR INFECTION WITH SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES AND GLANDS. SO, WE ARE NOW ON ANTIBIOTICS, EAR DROPS, AND SNOTTY NOSE AND COUGH MEDICINE. ALSO, JACEROO GOT HIS LAST RSV SHOT! YAHOOOO! HE WEIGHED IN AT AN IMPRESSIVE 12 POUNDS AND 13 OUNCES! HIS SKINNY MINNY BROTHER WEIGHED 37 POUNDS! WE ARE NEVER, EVER GOING TO HIT 40 AND GET OUT OF THE CAR SEAT! I AM ATTACHING SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF OUR SMILEY AND SOMETIMES NOT SO SMILEY JACE! HAHA! GARRETT T-BALL PICTURES COMING TOMORROW! HE HAS ANOTHER BIG GAME!

T-BALL PLAYING DUDE!

GARRETT STARTED HIS SECOND YEAR OF T-BALL A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAD HIS FIRST ROUND OF GAMES THIS WEEK! ALL I CAN SAY IS, WOW! WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES! LAST YEAR, HE MOSTLY PLAYED IN THE DIRT AND INFORMED ME THAT HIS FAVORITE PART OF THE GAME WAS WHEN THEY GOT TO HIGH FIVE AND "GOOD GAME" THE OTHER TEAM AT THE END! HAHA! WELL, HE STARTED TONIGHT AS PITCHER AND PLAYED LIKE A CHAMP! HE GOT EVERY BALL THAT WAS HIT TO HIM AND GOT 8 PEOPLE OUT! HE THREW SUPERBLY TO FIRST AND RAN HARD AND FAST TO HOME FOR THE OUT! I AM SO PROUD AND THINK WE MAY HAVE A FUTURE IN BASEBALL!
WHEN WE GOT HOME TONIGHT, GARRETT WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING COLD, SO I TOOK HIS TEMP AND HE WAS RUNNING A FEVER! FANTASTIC! HE ALWAYS WAITS TO GET SICK ON THE WEEKEND! OH WELL, MAYBE HE NEEDS TO RUN FEVER FOR EVERY BALL GAME IF HE PLAYS THAT WELL! JUST KIDDING!!
PS... I FORGOT THE CAMERA TONIGHT, SO I WILL POST PICS OF HIM IN HIS UNIFORM AFTER THE NEXT GAME! HE IS QUITE THE LITTLE CUTIE!
