Christmas

Merry Christmas!

A little late, but, better late than never! Pacen had a good first Christmas. He looked so cute in his reindeer butt jammies. He was smiling at Grandma in this photo.

I got a phone call from the nurse in Dr. Santos' office that Pacen's GI tests will be this Friday in El Paso 30 Dec. We get to plan for a fun filled day of him drinking radioactive breast milk and a series of GI scans to see what is going on in his belly.

Maybe on the way back from El Paso, Levi and I can stop at our favorite Thai restaurant...YUM!

We took some family pictures last night, I will upload more Chrismas photos and the family photos later when I can sit down and edit them a little. Merik was not so cooperative, but what can you expect from a 2 1/2 year old that does not nap anymore! haha!

Pacen's next weight check with Dr. Harwood will be 4Jan. I am hoping for over 8 lbs! Think chubby thoughts for my big boy!! I've noticed a change in his cheeks and thighs, so hopefully Dr. Harwood will think he looks good! Once Pacen reaches the double digits club, I might just have to get him a cake! [that we will all enjoy, and he can look at it and get his picture taken with it!]

Here we are! Merik was not so enthused!

 Merik LOVED all of his Christmas gifts. He is obsessed with doing "Man Stuff" with Dad in the garage. Now he is all ready to do the manly-est of Man Stuff. Complete with hard hat, safety glasses, hammer, screwdriver, wrench, tape measure & work boots. Just like Dad!

We have enjoyed having Gramma Reba here for the month of December to help out with the kids during all of Pacen's craziness of being hospitalized and all of his extra appointments. I will miss Merik saying "GRAMMA! Yets Play! Yets read books!" And I know she will miss spending every waking moment watching the fine art of Yo Gabba Gabba, Max & Ruby, Team UmiZoomies, and Fresh Beat Band on Nick Jr!
