Has it been 2 weeks already?!?

I usually like to post updates about what has been happening right before a big announcement, so here is an update. Because tomorrow we (well, Dylan and KP) will be going to the developmental pediatrician in the early morning, and then to see the general surgeon again later in the morning. Hopefully we will find out a surgery date. Mommy isn't too optimistic, though since we are still on size 10 and we're supposed to be up to 11 by now. But more on that later.

Well, whoops. I just went back and re-read the last post to see where I left off...and, well, I guess I forgot the part where I update you on the big announcement. Sorry about that.

Okay, we went and saw the general surgeon a couple of weeks ago. He said everything looked good, but now we are having to dilate KP twice a day. We started off with a size 10, and our goal is to be at 13 before his next surgery. We are supposed to upgrade once a week. But, the first weekend in, we were having trouble. So, back to the general surgeon again last week. We have now started pushing a 9 through before the 10 to kind of "open things up".

And here's where I tell you about Dylan's trip to the grocery store after our first doctor's visit. Mommy has been really, really stressed out lately, so Daddy thought he would be nice and pick her up some Coronas at the store (mucho appreciated). But, Daddy also decided to pick up KPs very important medical supplies in the same trip...so, Daddy got to go through the grocery line with Coronas and KY Jelly. :D I bet the checker was wondering what kind of night HE was going to be having.

But, seriously, I'm just waiting for our neighbor to call CPS on us. Because, picture this: You don't know our kid. We have just moved into a house and have no window coverings on KPs window. His changing pad is right in front of said window. On said windowsill sits a HUGE tube of KY Jelly and 3 different sizes of dilators. Twice a day we have to hold him down and dilate him. Now picture that you're our neighbor. Yeah. Just waiting...

But, I digress. No surgery date yet. Hopefully we will find out tomorrow.

KP went and stayed with Grandad Lynn and Grandma Sheri a couple of weekends ago. He came back with a CD worth of pictures. :D Mimi took pictures this last week, too. But we don't have our scanner hooked up yet, so those will have to wait.

I think Grandma Sheri didn't have her makeup on, because there is not a single picture of her facing the camera. :D

KP and Meemaw

Laughing Baby...I hope that's Grandad Lynn's lap! :D

We have also had a very eventful week at home. The boys have been home a lot lately by themselves (I know, it's kind of scary). So, you know what that means...lots of pictures and...guitar hero???

It has also been brought to my attention that Goose has been neglected. Well, not actually neglected, but that we don't talk about him as much as we used to. So, here is proof that he is still alive.

See, happy as a lark. :D

Beautiful boy.

Okay, funny story. See, KP is ADDICTED to Cheerios. I would like to personally thank the maker of Cheerios. As I'm sure many parents would like to. But, we started feeling bad because we make such a HUGE deal over KP eating his Cheerios, and then poor Goose just sits there looking pitiful. Well, KP throws the Cheerios, and Goose goes after them, and we don't yell at him because we figure this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship...and a slightly lost cause. But, by doing that, we seem to have created another addict...

I swear to you. He did this himself. And, in true Dylan fashion, instead of scolding him, he ran for a camera.

Thank goodness the box was basically empty.

Oh yeah. And KP talks A LOT now. Real vocalization, not just grunts. And what is his favorite vocalization right now? MaMa. Oh, yeah. He calls the wall, his binky, the dog, his Dad, the air, all MaMa. But learning the word is the first step in learning the meaning. :D
