5 Months (and other updates)


It has been a crazy week or so around here! Last Thursday morning Thomas scratched the side of his face, where he has a hemangioma, and caused it to bleed. The hemangioma should flatten out by the time he is 10, but the bleeding scared Lucas and I enough to make an appointment to see the doctor. She took one look at it and decided to refer us to a pediatric plastic surgeon at Riley Children's Hospital. We are waiting on a call to back to let us know when the appointment is, hopefully soon.




At the appointment we found out that Thomas now weighs 17lbs! He has started solid foods and has tried rice cereal, carrots, summer squash, and zucchini. This summer I made a bunch of food for him and froze it in ice cube trays. It amazes me how easy (cheap & healthy too) it is to make Thomas' baby food. Hopefully he will be more willing to try new things to eat than his older brother. He also rolled over from his back to his belly this weekend.

Speaking of, we signed Robert up for soccer and went to meet his coach on Saturday. But when we got there we found out his team did not have a coach and we were asked if we were interested. Thankfully, someone else stepped up and we now have a coach. His first game will be at the end of September.

They're growing too fast! I miss them soooo much! But thanks to their parents and this blog I don't feel like I'm missing out on the small stuff. Give them hugs and kisses from Gams!
