Just that time again

It's just about that time again for a new post. Since, I don't have the patience to download our pics from the 4th of July yet, I will save those fun and, at the same time, nightmarish stories for later.

But Weston has been SO FUN this last week. He got a blood transfusion on Thursday. His second in two weeks. He goes in for an MRA, which is similar to an MRI for his veins. They will basically sedate him, light him up and send him through the machine to take a look at the blood flow. They did discover that Weston came down with an infection that affected his spleen and increase in platelets and such. I'm not sure if that was related to the decrease in his blood count or not. They haven't answered that question for me. So there is that update.









This is just a really cute picture I like. Weston has started to crawl and we love it! He wears himself out appropriately now, he is not teething at the moment & is sleeping 12 hour nights. I walked through the PICU waiting room last week and horrifying memories came back to me of getting 20 minute naps at 7 am on the waiting room couch which is by no means an actual couch. And now I am so grateful for my life until I have to starve my baby on Weds all day for this MRA :) fun fun. They usually schedule these things in the morning so I just wake up and take West in, but he is scheduled at 3 PM and can't eat for 6 hours prior.

We also made it through 2 1/2 hours of church without having to take Weston out! And we have church right at his nap time 11-2. So we are on a roll. I'm preparing for the worst.

I found this sequence of pictures particularly hilarious. Weston loves to go out to eat. He is so fun at restaurants (that word sounds and looks really weird right now).




















Sharing is good. Only, he is much like his dad in that, he is a tease. He pretends that he wants to share with you and then takes it back.


Every time he is smiling, he has noticed the camera.








And he starts to get full and sleepy. :) The end.
