Wait...what happened?

By -
It's sort of like drifting off to sleep in the middle of a movie and then waking up about 15 minutes later to find out that you are about 3 plot twists behind. That's how I feel right now looking at the picture below. What happened? How did my little baby girl turn into this so fast?


I know it happened a little while ago, but every now and then I have a Trinity moment. It's a moment where I realize how fast she is growing up. It's usually followed by, "how did I get here?" That may sound like I don't know what's going on and am not paying attention. Maybe, but I think that life moves fast enough that you can miss things even if you're paying attention. Well, she's got my attention.


She also has mad face-making skills...


See? This might be a "Super-Olivia" face. I don't know. Lisa? What do you think?


I think Teagan is mildly amused. Or he could be pooping. You decide! Either way, he wins!

Regardless, he is not amused at being stripped naked and weighed at the doctor's office for his 2-month check-up. In case you were wondering, he weighs 13 pounds even. That's a little above the 75th percentile for his age. Good eats I tell ya! Mom gets mad props for that. Good job!

Update: In retrospect, I should not have used the term "mad props". It doesn't suit me and I blame the late hour.


Even less amusing than being weighed is being measured for length. Turns out he is about 22 inches, although it's a moving target with a wiggly baby. 25th percentile for those keeping track...


Great picture, proud mommy!


Not as cute, but web-worthy nonetheless...have a good night!

    Love the pictures guys. Trinity looks so grown up.
    Teagan is beginning to look a little like Trinity.

Waiting For a Miracle

As many of you know, Trinity is in the pediatric ICU at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. She's been having seizures but as yet there is no diagnosis aas to what the underlying problem might be. Autumn and I are learning a great deal and I am getting a crash course in ICU medicine. Trinity has been sedated since Monday morning about 2am Mountian Time. She is on a ventilator, so the sedative is to keep her from fighting all the tubes. One thing we have learned is that we don't have control of this situation. It's hard because I don't want my daughter to suffer. I don't want her to have permanent damage from this. I want my daughter back because I miss her terribly. But I have to let all of that go and trust that God has our best in mind. I have to because I can't do a single thing to help her right now. So I pray and cry a little and sing to my baby. Autumn is doing the same. We have been incredibly blessed to have support from all over the ...

The end of a good thing

Okay, I am a fan of breastfeeding. That sounded weird. I don't like it for me, but for my kids. Autumn worked very hard at it, with wonderful results for Teagan and Trinity both. She was so successful that we are just now, 9 months after weaning Teagan, running out of frozen stores of breast milk for his bottles. Now, we haven't been giving it to him exclusively. He has been on cow's milk ever since he was a year old. It's been mostly for night time bottles. Unfortunately now that's over too. Here's our memorial service for breast milk: Proud mommy...and she should be! Yep, he loves him some breast milk! And now, since that chapter is over and a new one is started, we'll talk about the grieving process. Poor little Teagan will likely be going through an extensive emotional adjustment. Let's see one scenario of how it might  go: The first reaction will be typical crying. He doesn't get what he wants, so he cries. Hey, don't we all? At th...

I get bored pretty easy. I get tired of the same old thing. But I discovered something. I don't get tired of my wife or daughter. Do they get on my nerves sometimes? Sure, but I never get tired of them. We went to Boise last week (or was it the week before?) for follow-up appointments for Trinity. We were there for two days because Trinity was scheduled for a follow-up MRI and they won't see her at the neurologist's office the same day as the MRI. I can see why; she has to be put to sleep for the MRI because it takes over 45 minutes and she has to stay still. Trinity can't stay still for 45 seconds, much less 45 minutes! Here are some photos from the trip: Here's Miss Smiley-Bug waiting for her turn in the MRI machine. She was having fun crawling around and trying to pull on as many dangling cords as possible. She's so much fun to be around. She barely even cried when they put the IV in her arm. She did fight a little, just because she doesn't like being hel...
