Father Fish

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATHER !!

My Dad is one great guy. Growing up I felt closer to him than anyone. He taught me to be a great person. He guided me when I would fall away. I am grateful I have such a wonderful dad. I always loved going to the dump with him when I was little. It only because it was just the two of us. I loved fishing with him too. Even though we hardly ever caught anything.
My favorite memory I have of my dad growing up is. When I was in young women they were have a Daddy/Daughter date dance. My dad had just had cancer surgery and was recovering. I was sad he was hurting and sad that I may not go. We had to dress up for the dance. So with what little energy dad had he put on his jogging suit and I dressed up as a punk rocker. And he took me to the dance. I am so grateful to my dad for doing that and taking me. I will always cherish the memory.
Now that I am a mom and have children. I am grateful to Dad for being a great Papa. My children love to come see him. I know that Dad loves to be with them too.
I love you Dad and hope your birthday was a fabulous one. XOXOXO

First Step

My Sweet Little Bear took his First step independently. He was just hanging out with me and wanted to see what Kara was doing over on the futon. He stood up and took 4 steps to the futon. I just freeked out and got so excited. Gave him a big hug and kiss. Told him he was a big boy. He got really happy and Kara cheered with me. We then rushed in and told Daddy what he had done. He then throughout the day and he walked some more.



I am happy to report that my doctor said the Christopher is now growing into himself very nicely. When we took him for his 9 month appt. He was 14lbs 5oz. at that point he was in 0% for his age and weight. Last month we visited the nutrition clinic at Primary Childrens Hospital. We were given some great ways to help gain the weight. We also figured out that he has Reflux so he is taking medicine for that. Even though I have been Breastfeeding him exclusively. We realized that he was not getting enough so we are now supplementing with formula. I am happy to say that at his appt. yesterday he is now 18lbs. 6oz. My doctor is so happy to see the large weight gain. And I am happy to say that my Featherboy as Amy calls him is growing.

Just a little note on Kara too. Today Danny and Kara were looking at some of Danny's Transformers and they were talking about them and Kara came out and said "Oh that amazing" Danny was just amazed that she knew that. It was a fun moment for them.
