Hi everyone. I have been trying to upload pictures but for some reason, it has been failing. I will try again later. We have apple picking and halloween pics to share!

We went to the eye doctor again. His lazy eye isn't any worse but no better either, so she will see us again in 6 months. Right now, we are just watching it to see what it's going to do. His eyesight is pretty sharp... he can see something on the rug from across the room.. you mommy's know, that little thing that the vacuum didn't pick up. The rug looks perfectly clean and it's the baby that finds that little item and tries to eat it? That's Josh!

We haven't heard for sure yet, but I am sure the insurance company is going to deny Synagis shots for this second season. My pedi told me that according to the documentation, he is not eligible because he hasn't been treated for Chronic Lung Disease for the last 6 months. Stupid because he is still a 24 week preemie, but the insurance companies win usually. You can appeal all you want, but they are only going to pay for what they think is needed.

My nephew was admitted to the hospital last night with pneumonia. I am not sure how he is doing. As of last night, his breathing was still sucky. So even a big full termer can get sick.. why not prevent the little man who still has lung problems (but is not being treated) from all this crap that goes around...

Josh is almost walking by himself. I have been saying that for months. Outside, he will walk on his own, but in the house, he wants to hold onto stuff still or crawl. I guess it's quicker and less work. He can stand up on his own without holding onto anything and will stand for a few minutes but he still doesn't have the courage to just do the walking without holding onto stuff. We work with him all the time, but he is going to do it when he is ready.

Everything else is coming along. He is a funny, funny baby. Sings all the time. Says about 8 words.. mama, daddy, bye, hi, arran, all done, up... I think that's it! We keep working on that too but once again, he is going to do all of that when he is ready.

I'll try and upload pictures again later on this evening. Josh was a puppy for halloween. What a cutie!
