Gerard NICU follow-up September 20, 2010

Gerard now weighs 22 lbs. and is 36" tall. Wow! He's doing just great. As soon as I can get it together, I'll post photos. It's been crazy busy and all have been healthy.

This was an event that I directed last week.

Not a fun haircut

Silly stuff

Thomas the Tank Engine and Little G

What fun we had last Friday taking our first train ride! Little man was so in awe, he was actually quiet for a change... We had a great time. Peep, peep!

I really wanted to post this last summer...but forgot. Look how cute!

26 months

Giddyup!

Allergies, Asthma, etc.

After months of illness, we had to take Gerard out of daycare and he's back home with Nanna Margie. Things are getting better. The immunologist has diagnosed him with allergies, asthma, eczema, etc. etc. Oh well... It's not like we're unfamiliar with the clinics, but last Friday the specialists office couldn't get a good stick so we were back at Primary's. Yuck. We're back to two breathing treatments a day (palmicort) for a while, along with topical and oral meds for the allergies.

On a positive note, he's running and talking and making us laugh...a lot! His new word for me is "mammacita" (he learned that from his dad) - and it comes out like "mammalita" - very cute. He's still addicted to "Thomas" and anything that has to do with trains and cars.

Fun times for Thanksgiving

Angela and the gang came out for Thanksgiving and we all had a great time. Here's a lovely shot on 25th Street. It was much colder than this picture looks!

Trains

Here's our Christmas pic! Gerard's going to be 23 months tomorrow. How is that possible?

August - healthy!

Gerard has been such a healthy boy that I haven't had much time to post information. I've been busy keeping up with him! We've had swimming lessons and lots of fun in August, and then school started, and now I'm trying to figure out how to manage "our" time.
NICU Reunion was last Saturday, and we had such fun catching up with all of our nurses and friends...but didn't see many doctors. As soon as I can get organized, I'll post some more...but here's something to get the general idea. Gerard is weighing in around 26 lbs. and is walking, running, talking and doing funny toddler-type things. He's really fun and silly and smart! Some of his favorite words are car, train, read, book, and mamma (finally)! He likes to play by shutting his eyes and walking around laughing. He's a giggler... And he loves to eat now that he doesn't throw up after each meal. His very, very favorite word is "meat." Yes, you got it - he loves his meat!

Sunday nap

We went for a long walk this morning, and it just wore him out... A 3 hour nap with his favorite bla-bla's... We miss daddy.
