Update

Sorry it's been so long since I posted! Just didn't seem like there was any free time with Miss Olivia out of school and trying to get Reece on some kind of schedule. Trying to keep her busy these days is quite the chore. While she was out of school she went to see three movies (Enchanted, Alvin and Chipmunks, & The Water Horse). She also played with the neighbors a bunch....they are such a huge help with her!! Needless to say though, I was really glad that she started back this week! Now I can actually have time to pick up the toys and clean up a bit before she comes home to destroy it :o)

On a different note, I'm happy to report that Reece is sleeping through the night (for the most part). The only problem now is that he considers the night 6pm - 4:45am! He actually starts waking up around 3 and fusses until I finally get him out at 4:45 or 5am! I'm still going to bed really early to compensate, but at least he isn't eating all night long. He is taking his bottles MUCH better and is eating solids pretty well. His favorite things to eat is sweet potatoes....even over any fruit I've offered him. So NOT like his Daddy in that sense.

We also went to Reece's Hematologist yesterday for his scheduled check up. We were thinking he may have to have some blood taken, but she said they didn't need it just yet. She was preparing us for what to look for once he becomes mobile. We're going to start looking at getting some knee and elbow pads since he'll be crawling soon. She also gave us a prescription for a medicine to give him if he gets a mouth injury. Apparently those can be pretty pesky for kids with hemophilia. She also talked about how we would just wait for him to have a joint bleed before we start talking about treatments. He may go a couple of years without a major bleed, but he could also have one in the next 6 months. We'll just have to hope it's not sooner than later.

Here is a quick video of Reece eating peas the other day. It's so funny....he keeps eating them, but makes the funniest faces between bites. It's a texture thing....that is like his daddy!! I promise I do usually use a bib, this time though, he was going right to bath after he ate, so we just went commando :o)
