Kid update

Wow looking at this picture is so crazy it was only 3 months ago. Caleb has been the best, my angel. He loves to sleep, eats well, and just happy, loves to smile and just look around. He is sleeping good at night with just one feeding usually around 3 or 4. His sister just adores him. So he went from this :

To this is 3 months. He is my big boy- 16lbs -96 percentile, and 25 1/2 inches-98 percentile
We keep telling liz she better not pick on him, cause he will be bigger than her soon, and be able to retaliate. (she doesn't listen)

He loves his swing, sometimes hours go by and he is still loving it!


Lizzy loves holding him and trying to get him to smile. Sometimes she gets upset when he doesn't smile at her. She calls him her best friend forever and says she is gonna keep him....i'm so glad



As for Lizzy, she hit her 4 month mark on the study (for her arthritis) this last week. She has improved drastically. She is looking so good. She has improved 100% in some areas, and no less than 75% in others. So we are still in the study, but it remains blinded, which is good for us right now. She most likely has been on only the one drug(methotrexate) but has responded very well to it, and we don't have to go on the steroid. She has been a trooper through it all, and the best investment we made was 'hello kitty' bandaids. So we move on, and hope she out grows it someday, but at least it seems to be getting under control.

showing off 'hello kitty'


Before, feb 2009, her left knee is much bigger here, as well as her wrists.
today...her knees look normal, kind of hard to tell in pictures, but we are excited about the improvement.


And a few pics for the road.......

Cute, cute kids! I am so happy for you guys and for Lizzy's progress! She sure is ADORABLE! I am so sorry we didn't get to see you guys. We never made it down to LA area...But, Keli'i is planning a trip in September, so maybe you'll see him then! Glad all is well, Lacey!

Lacey! I'm so glad you found my blog. How fun! I definitely need to put a link to yours on mine now. You look great! And, your kids are so cute. How crazy that you have such a blondie! I would love to see Lizzy and my little Ellee together. They'd have a ball--probably get into a LOT of trouble though. :) And your little baby looks like such a sweet, happy boy. Maybe it's the 2nd child thing. My baby doesn't sleep great, but she's such a happy content baby--especially compared to what Ellee was! :)

Brooke said...

My 2nd baby was so sweet too! Well, he still is soooo sweet!!! It makes everything so nice and so much more enjoyable. Caleb is so darling and chubby!

I am so happy Lizzy is doing better. You are so brave going into that new study. I'm so happy it is working for her though.
