MA-MA.......

Finally! Bryson can say my name. :-) I've been waiting a loooooooong time. It's so sweet to hear those words and since it's new for him he says it over and over. He gets a huge grin on his face every time he says it. For the longest time he was calling me ba-ba and sometimes still comes out with Ma-ba. He also says hey, hi, ear,turtle, ball, bad boy, daddy, buddy, uh-oh, kitty, balloon, and birthday. We sometimes don't realize how much he really does know. Tonight I asked him where his diaper was and he looked right down at it. It's so exciting that he is learning so much. I'm sure he's smarter than we think! He LOVES looking at his birthday pictures and whenever we have them up on the screen he gets so excited and says birthday just as clear as can be. We took his bottle away about a month ago and he did great. No problems there. Just a sippy cup now. We no longer rock him to sleep and he usually only cries about 2 or 3 minutes if at all when we lay him down. Depends on how tired he is. It's amazing all the things that happen in just 1 year. We're always thinking back about what he was like this time last year. Such a big boy now. He has 6 teeth and 1 coming in on the bottom. His favorite thing to eat is a fudge round. :-) There's always at-least 1 box of them in our pantry. His favorite toys right now are his car and his mega-blocks/wagon. Well- that's the latest- til next time..... ;-) Ma-Ma

Thanksgiving at Dollywood

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Smokey Mountains! Hopefully good memories our children will cherish when they are grown. We managed to pull off cooking dinner in about a 4x5 foot space called the kitchen! It all turned out and everything was delicious! The kids shot some hoops and Bryson had a good ol' time just running around and picking up leaves while we waited for the Turkey to get done. Later that evening after Bryson was in bed we played a game of Cranium. The front desk had games that you could check out. Definitely not a game I would care to play again! The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Dollywood. The weather was gorgeous and could not have been more perfect. Bryson was in awe at all the lights when it started to get dark. I think the first time ever he has actually sat in his stroller for a whole day without fussing to get out. There was lots to look at and it kept him busy thank goodness. After that we headed back to our condo to e...

Trisomy 13 - Dignity and Grace in Life and Death

On September 14, 2001 Andrew and I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby. We had done this twice before and I was not that concerned or anxious to get to the Dr. right away. We were very excited even though we had not actually "tried" to conceive. We had also decided we would keep it a secret as long as possible! :) Love to keep a good secret! On October 31st we had our first ultrasound and discovered that our baby had markers for a chromosomal disorder as well as tachycardia. Devastated at hearing this we shed lots of tears and I experienced a lot of worry, anger, and fear at what lied ahead of us. I prayed many times that if the Lord was going to give us a baby that would not live that He would just go ahead and take it from us right then. On November 23rd, I began spotting and cramping but since it was Thanksgiving weekend we waited til the following Monday to go to the Dr. where we found out that there was no heart beat and our baby was resting safely in the arms of Je...
