Life as we know it.. has ended!

Walking!

Josh started walking at Grammy's but for some reason, when he got home, all he wanted to do was crawl. We remembered that at Grammy's she gave him a spoon to hold onto.. (it gave him the feeling that he was holding something). Behold! As soon as we gave him a spoon, he was walking all over the place. Take the spoon away.. and he would crawl again. some babies have stuffed animals, some have blankies, mine... a spoon. This is Josh's Woobie. Now he is walking all over the place. It only took a few days with the spoon for him to realize that he can do it without. But it was SOOO cute!


We found out yesterday (finally) that Josh was approved for a second season of Synagis. Every preemie mom knows what this is. It's basically a booster for his immune system. It's not a vaccine and he has to get the shot once a month for the whole season, but it gives him some extra antibodies to help fight off RSV. He could still get it, and we are vigilant about handwashing, Purell and keeping him away from crowds but this will help. the part that sucks is the bigger they get, the more they get, so this could be 2-3 shots per month to get the correct dose. He is not going to be a happy boy, but it's for a good reason. He will forgive me later!

That is all the news. We are doing fine. He is a normal active baby for the most part. He gets into EVERYTHING, loves the kitties water dish (and the water in the dehumidifier), and will get into anything he can. Love the normalcy!

Hugs and kisses to all. Have a great holiday!

We have so much to be thankful for!
