Update on Brayson

I don't know much at this point. Just wanted to let you all know that we really appreciate all of the emails, calls, thoughts and prayers. Lyneil and Andy left the hospital this morning in Des Moines at 11:20 am and headed to Iowa City. They are still in the meeting with the ENT Dr. We'll know more later and I will post as soon as I hear from them.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

Prayer Request for Brayson

Howdy to all y'all out there!

Neil and Andy are in the hospital today with their 4 week only, Brayson. He has pneumonia and will be traveling tomorrow (Thursday) to Iowa City (Children's Hospital) to have a surgery on his nose bone (more details later). They think the top of his nose bone is too small and they are going to go in and try to fix it.

I am not sure of all of the particulars...visit Lyneil's blog to find out or come back later. I will try my best to keep up to date info for you.

Needless to say (details or lack there of) Neil, Andy, Brayson and the doctors all need your prayers for this baby boy.

Bloggers, unite! Let's go to our Father and He will keep blessing us!

Thanks for all of your prayers!

Not Creative

Well, I am not as creative as some of my other cousins. I am all open for ideas. I need a good measurement of how to show Kaden's growth for all of our family in the great state of TEXAS!

This is Kaden at 2 months. This is a gift that one of Karl's PM's gave us when Kaden was born. I know that I am not using correctly, but it was easier to show (his growth) this way.

Applebee's Outing = Late to church

Wednesday evening after the big boys came home from work, we decided to go out for supper. It has been since early November since we have all gone out to eat before worship on Wednesday evening. Since then, we have added two babies and one broke leg man. Here we are enjoying our time one the dime and sitting a a HUGE table that accommodated all of us, but we were late for church. It takes more than just a couple of minutes to maneuver this many...

Kaden and his daddy.

He loves his daddy and shares some of his biggest smiles with him. Kaden is growing by leaps and bounds and talking up a storm.

2 months old!

2 months old and growing!

Kaden is 2 months old today.

He loves to eat and has his daddy's patience when we are not fast enough to provide food.

He has little rolls on his thighs...too cute (compliments of his mama not daddy).

He loves to coo and giggle.

He has old man hair syndrome.

He is HEAVY!

Stats:

2 months 0 days old

24.5 inches long (93rd percentile)

14.9 pounds heavy (97th percentile)

41 centimeters for head measurement (75th percentile)

Did I tell you how much he loves to eat?

Look how sweet he is. I love being his mom and I love the fact that he has such a passionate and loving father!

Here we are at Kaden's two month check up. He blew their charts out of the water..almost!

Kaden: Dad, I'm naked and it's 26 degrees outside. You think this light little blanket is good enough?

Dad: It's all your mom brought.

Kaden: We need better training wheels for her. This paper is COLD.

Karl has taught Kaden how to be a vato...not real sure where Karl learned it from...

But, no matter what, we have fun learning. Braxton took his turn dressing himself. He wanted to be farmer in the Dale. He dressed himself for church but God was watching out for Lyneil, worship was cancelled because of the weather. HE NEVER LEFT THE HOUSE! He did, however; have a hard time bending over... he he

Catch up - Zant

Thanks Jorge for the lovely smile! My favorite mom and eldest sister.

Mom and Kaden had some good times getting to hug and love on each other while we were in Paris...it was just too short.

College church put together a basket for Kaden and Amy was my script. She loves being in the center of things!

The McD Three stopped to see Amy and Jorge for the first time the Monday before Christmas on our way to Karl's mom's house! They were painting...

Da taking time to feed Kaden. We are glad that surgery went well and that you are closer to pain free!

Eli...Neil thinks that Kaden is going to follow very closely in your footsteps. We'll see. We go to the dr for our 2 month on Monday.

The Sunday Lunch Ladies. These are the best looking lunch ladies in the south!

Eli and Hunter enjoyed having Kaden around and were sweet to him.

Granny came out to the house to see Kaden for the first time.

Pam, Micheal, Hunter and Eli paid a visit to us at the house before we headed east. Pam got to hold/see Kaden before Ashley and Jennifer and she made it known!
