Miller and Her Helmet




Miller has had her helmet now for 2 weeks. She has done amazing with it. I think I was preparing for the worst but she honestly acts like it isn't even there. We are now wearing it for 23 hours a day. Her helmet makes her cheeks look so chunky! I will keep updating her progress. Hopefully it will continue to be smooth sailing!

Halloween 2010








Here are some pictures of my Cute UPS man and Adorable little lamb. James was so excited about Trick-or- Treating this year. We went to a Halloween festival at church and then visited a few families and friends.

6 Months Old!


Its so hard to believe Miller is already 6 months old. The second child goes by so so much faster than the first. At her 6 month checkup she weighed 16.3 lbs (25th-50th percentile) and was 25.3 inches tall (50th percentile). She is sitting up all by herself and pushing up on both arms and spinning in circles. She is eating solids at dinner time and loves all vegetables. I've also tried yougart and she ate the whole container. She's not too fond of fruits but I'm working on it. Miller also has had a flat spot on the right side of her head since birth and it hasn't corrected itself even with lots and lots of tummy time. It is called Plagiocephaly and we have been referred to an orthotist who will fit her for a cranial band/ helmet. Her case is not severe at all so hopefully she will only have to wear it 4-6 weeks. Our appointment is next Monday at 10:00. Wish us luck with the insurance company! Many insurance companies consider it cosmetic and I've heard that its a battle getting them to pay for it.

KooKoo and Kachoo Visit James

KooKoo and Kachoo are James' preschool class mascots. They get to go home every week with another friend. They are kangaroos and James was sooo excited for them to come visit us!
They rode on a big John Deere sprayer...

Got to honk the horn on a big truck...

Eat a sweet potato for a snack...

and have a visit to the sweet potato warehouse. James was really upset when we had to take KooKoo and Kachoo back to school. Hopefully they will be able to come visit again! I loved watching James take care of them for the week!
