It Doesn't Get Better Than This

Look at that face!  He smiles so big that it scrunches that left eye almost shut.  He's even got a little dimple on the top of his lip on the left.  I LOVE IT!!  It's my new favorite spot to kiss.

We're still just moving along here with Team Carter. He's seriously kicking butt with reaching out and grabbing things.  He loves to play some new games with Daddy.  Carter's getting more and more fun to play with.  We've been doing a lot of sitting practice, and still working on lifting that big ole' noggin when he's on his tummy. He's making slow but steady progress.  He went to the Pediatrician for a checkup and we found out that little C now weighs 14 lbs!  He's not even close to being on the charts for his height and weight, but his head size is in the 70th percentile.  No wonder he has so much trouble lifting it. The Pedatrician thinks that C is doing well, but because of the Adrenal Hemmorhage, he thought that we should see an Endocrinologist for a checkup on all of his hormones and glands.  I made the appointment for after the next ultrasound so she would have up to date information on his situation.

We have a lot of upcoming appointments including the one where we'll schedule the date for Carter's next surgery.  I have mixed feelings about it.  I'm certainly not looking forward to the hospital stay, but am very anxious to have it over and done with.  There are a lot of doctors who think that the soft palate closure is going to help him with his vocalizations, eating, and most importantly breathing.  I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up, but sometimes it's hard not to.
