Say cheese

I love this face! He is loving motorcycles right now. As you can see he still loves to climb on everything. Now that it hurts my back to pick him up all of the time he is constantly dragging chairs around the house to reach stuff. You can't hide anything from this child! He is always on top of counters, tables, desks etc...I can't believe that he is almost 4 and we haven't had any broken bones yet- I hope our luck continues!

The Snorkel

Dylan has found a new love for this snorkel gear that he found rummaging through a closet. He's been wearing it for 24 hrs straight and gets mad when it pulls his hair or falls off. We have now hidden it in hopes that he will forget about it! So far he has only asked for it about every 3-5 minutes. LOL! This boy is a constant crack up.


He stood in front of the mirror forever making faces. So funny!

Drum Roll- It's a.......

GIRL!!!!!

Most of you have heard this already, but I'm a little slow on the blogging. We had another ultrasound Oct. 7th with the Perinatalogist. The tech doing the ultrasound saw the gender first thing, but wanted to make a few measurements and then come back and see if we could guess! Baby sister was blocking the view with her foot for awhile, but finally gave us a show. We are so excited we can hardly stand it. Dylan had been insisting that it was a sister all along and he was right! Both Jeff and I have thought this one was a girl from the beginning too, but lets be honest we would have been equally excited either way. We honestly would have been surprised if it would have been a boy. So far little princess is looking great. We will have another ultrasound Nov. 4th to look at her in depth, but she is measuring great and about a week ahead of schedule. Go baby girl!

She was not cooperating for a profile picture, this one was the best they got. It was right before she popped her little thumb into her mouth. I mean how cute is she!? We are so in love! The shopping has begun and it is amazing how cute everything is...not to mention expensive. But I mean really- it all has ruffles, bows, pink, accessories and oh the headbands!!!! So So FUN! Keep cooking little missy! We love you Princess!

Mmmm Pancakes

We have been working extra hard on eating over here at the Davis household. Dylan seems to be making great progress! I think we just may be on track to having his feeding tube out by the time he turns 6. That makes us very happy parents! Hopefully the winter time and sickness won't set us back too far this year. I have been trying to have him sit down to a meal at least 2 times a day even if he only takes 1 or 2 bites of what is on his plate. Some days are better than others. It is a pretty big transition for him to participate in meal time. For so long we had to avoid cooking smells and even being around food so that we could decrease the vomiting and stress. We are so happy to say that sometimes we go several days without vomiting. It is AWESOME....especially when you consider how much he vomited for the first couple yrs of his life.



His favorite foods/snacks this week are...

~Cheesy noodles: easy mac with extra cheese mixed in
~Pancakes dipped in syrup
~Cheese crackers (handisnack) He only likes cheese spread on 3/4 of the cracker so that he can hold the end with no cheese. He doesn't like dirty fingers!
~Monkey Arms (Lucky charms) He only eats the marshmallows
~Chocolate candies: Reeses
~Skittles
~Gia (yogurt) Lemon or peach flavors
~Apples- He likes to carry a slice around and nibble on it
~Pepsi or Dr. Pepper

Some people may be appalled when I give my child sugary caffeinated beverages and candy. Judge us...we don't care! We are so happy with anything he puts in his mouth! One of my favorite quotes from his GI doc is "I don't care what he eats...sugar, fat, candy, pop...as long as it is a positive experience. We will fix his habits, his teeth, and his heart in another decade!" Oh I love her!



This mister is such a cutie! I love how peaceful he looks when he sleeps. I LOVE that he still naps about 3 hrs every day. I am so tired these days that many times I join him!


On another note...2 more days until the big ultrasound! Big brother still insists that it is a sister. We shall see! We don't care either way, we'd just like him/her to stay put until March!
