Halloween was so fun. Notice John's "sick" pumpkin work. Halloween is for kids I guess. Jerry was so excited to get candy and then ate his first chocolate bar...a Twix! A bit came back out as you can see, but I was surprised he ate as much as he did...and a whole cookie too! We enjoyed some t-ball in the yard the next day. It will be interesting to see what JJ can do as he gets older. His less than perfect heart does not seem to be holding him back yet!
Jerry is really thriving! He is drinking 5 ounces (formula) at a time pretty often now. Huge for him. He is eating some food every day but probably rarely a normal amount. We are still pretty excited to see him chew and swallow 5 bites of food before spitting out. If he is still not eating better in 5 or 6 months we probably will want to look into what else could be wrong. I have not weighed him recently but believe he is at least 18 1/2 pounds. Don't his cheeks look so chubby?! Today he took a nap of 2 1/2 hours without waking up...another huge thing for him. He often wakes crying during naps and cannot settle down without some snuggles. We are not sure if that is just messed up sleep cycles, bad dreams, bad schedule (naps are kind of a struggle with Isaac's school schedule),hunger...? He is pretty out of it but not asleep. He has been sleeping great at night. He often only wakes once to eat. He is so happy and funny. We are soaking up every minute with him and always thankfully reflecting.
Isaac has been doing really well and loves school. He has not been sad again like last week thank goodness. He did say another time that he does not want Jerry to die. He added that there would be only one good way for that to happen and that is if we all died together so we could still see each other. Can you believe his little mind? My sweet, sweet, intense boy. I pray that the rest of his young childhood holds only fun, enchanting experiences for him.
GREAT pictures!!! :)
