YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IN LAW

Keep it up!!

To all of you that read this and have added Andrea to their prayers, THANK YOU!!!! Please keep it up. Last reports say she is doing far better that expected. According to Nicole and Molly "the doctors have no idea how she is going as well as she is". Thank you!!!

Please Pray

I ask all of you to please pray for my friend Andrea. She has been fighting ovarian cancer for almost 2 years. She is not doing well. Andrea was taken to Emory earlier this week to see a team of doctors. As of now things are not looking good. But we can not give up on her. We need all the love and prayers for Andrea and her family. Please pray for her we need a miracle. Thank you.

Miss Leah

I can and can not believe that she is growing up so fast. Guessing that having and older brother as active as Derrick, you kind of have to. Leah is on the brink of 10 months old. At here last appointment at 9 months she was 17 pounds and 27 inches. She is right on target for her growth based on birth weight and sitting comfortably at the 5oth percentile for all others. She is a speed crawler and has been pulling up on everything. She has gone one handed to pick things up but has yet to let completely go. She has her 2 bottom teeth in. She loves table food. Green beans, carrots, pasta, chicken and any kind of cracker (as you can see she loves a cheesy poof) are on her menu and she is eating less and less jar food. Words, I say loosely are: dada, daik (derrick), caca (Sasha), mmmaa, tap, and uh oh. Leah has begun to wave, OK just a hand up on the air but I say a wave. She wants to do what ever Derrick is up to. Leah is still having a bit of skin irritation here and here but is is so random. One day she will eat strawberry's and bananas and be fine the next a rash will appear. We treat it with some otc cream and she is fine. Leah continues to sleep all night, almost every night.

This girl loves her Cheesy Poofs

Who needs teething toys when you have spoons

That you can get yourself??

Thanks for checking on us.

Derrick Update...imitation is flattery

We took this picture the day they got the stitches out. It has healed up very well. Derrick has still not slowed down.

Derrick has really learned to be a 'help around the house". He loves the dust buster so I thought is was time to step up to the big leagues. Stick VAC... he was very good with it. The big vacuum was too heavy for him.

Next claen the coffee table.

First step spray PLEDGE MULTI SURFACE (i love this stuff)

Rub the cleaner in the table.

When you are done, get your hair ready, slap on some accessories and hit the town.

(yes he is wearing one of Leah's hair bows and my necklace. I am so glad he skipped my heals).

See you soon....

Leah's update is next stay tuned...
