I know, it's been awhile!
I apologize for the month delay just been ssuuuuper busy lately! And now the updates!!
As for Miss. Zoe Lynn, the princess, the ruler of the Gardner household, she is doing great! Her last weigh in was 14 pounds 3 ounces, that was 2.5 weeks ago. She is still on the steroids for the hemangioma which is going down soooo nicely! Zoe has gained some function out of that eye and we know that because now she thinks everything is funny! She is just following things more and is able to see things that move on that side better. We have our next appointment down in Milwaukee at Children's Hospital this upcoming Tuesday to have it looked at. Starting tomorrow they are going to be weaning her off of the steroid which is awesome because her appetite is through the roof! Her baptism was beautiful and wonderful! Very moving for me, not sure why, maybe because I kept thinking about everything she has gone through and how lucky and blessed we are. Then I got to thinking about Kaleb's NICU journey and such since he was also baptised there with the same pastor. It was awesome! I will have pictures soon thanks to a friend! (THANKS A TON STACY!) Miss. Ann, Zoe's OT is very impressed with her, no real concerns, she lifts her head right, pushes up, puts weight on her legs and so forth. She is a little chatter box when she is in a good mood, before 3pm. Zoe's colic is getting better, we are making progress. Well that's it for her right now.
Kaleb is having a blast at school, he hates when he has off! His teacher says he is just a riot in class which we all already knew. Kaleb learns best through music she also said, which we also knew. At home and at school he wears underwear without accidents, anywhere else it's a mess. But we are making progress! Kaleb had a fantastic time trick or treating, didn't want to at first but as soon as we made it past the first 5 houses and he caught the idea he was off and we were having trouble keeping up with him! We set up our christmas tree Sunday and he was definately all about it! Right now he is at his nana and papa's helping them set up theirs and loving every minute of it. That's about it for him!
Andrew is doing fantastic! Loves his new school and is doing sooo much better there. We took the kids to Above and Beyond Children's meusem this past Sunday and he was ecstatic! It's a full hands on totally awesome place! Three floor of themed adventure and play areas! Andrew has been a real big help lately with Kaleb, he is currently trying to teach Kaleb how to put his socks on correctly, he can get them on just not accurately. Andrew also likes to help me cook a ton! As for me I love it! I have a little helper!!
For Bill and I we are hanging in there, thankfully things are starting to calm down with Zoe, not so many doctor visits and such, a bit of normal living. Although now that I just said that I probably will be posting tomorrow of some illness we have found j/k (that's our luck!). We are getting our family pictures done on Sunday and we are very excited about that, our last one was when Bill and I were dating and Andrew was a year and a half! That's about it for us, working all the time, taking care of the kids, that's it!
I thought I would post a slide of a few recent pics, unfortunately whenever I have the camera out Andrew if off somewhere so I am going to nail him down this weekend:)
