Spence is 5 weeks already... he is doing so well!

The humidity wasn't so bad today, so we decided to go for a little walk! Doesn't he look so cute in this hat (even though it kind of doesn't fit him!:))

This is a picture to show just how tough Spence really is, already feeding himself!


While Spencer was in the hospital again for his shunt surgery, Levi and I decided to take advantage of the fact that he had a great babysitter/nurse to watch him, so we went out for our Anniversary! ( I can't believe it's already been a year... and some much has happened!) It sure has been the best year of my life!!!

Back in the hospital in down town DC for Spencers Shunt surgery! Everything went well, he seems so much happier, and it seems he feels a lot better too!

I just love snuggling with my little guy!

He is so adorable... I just love him to pieces!

Bath time!

These are the casts that they have put on his legs to correct his clubbed feet! It's amazing how fast it is working! He's looking great!

I can't even begin to tell you how incredible Spencer's improvements have been! He is swallowing so well now! He has no problem taking a bottle, and I have been working on breast feeding him, and he just keeps getting better and better with that too! They said he was progressing faster than they expected, and that he may be able to go home this Wed! I am so happy, and I know that Heavenly Father has been helping him all along the way! There is such a sweet and peaceful spirit we feel every time we are in his presence. I know the spirit has been with us every step of the way! I know we've said it before, but once again Levi and I thank you all so much for all your thoughts and prayers! We love you!

It has been so great to have my mom here with me! We have enjoyed singing to him and have shared many special moments together during this time! I was so glad that she got to hold him before going home!

Levi is such a great Daddy already! I love seeing how excited he gets when ever he gets to hold Spencer, he even gets excited to change his diaper... I hope that never changes! haha

Here's our cute little guy sleeping comfortably! As you can see they have taken out the drain in his head, and feeding tube in his nose! He seems so much more content now! Dr. Myseros, the Neurosurgeon said that as far as he is concerned there is no more need to keep Spencer at the hospital, and that he would like to see Spence in about two weeks to check up on his head. They aren't ready to put the shunt in, because there is still blood in the ventricles... Dr. Myseros, told us not to worry, because it would work it's way out. So we just have to give it time. We are just waiting for the Neonatologist to decided when he feels that Spencer is ready to go home! (we think it will be soon!) Yay!

I think he was a little alarmed by the flash! :)

I love this little man soooooo much!

This was when I got to do Kangaroo care! Oh how I loved this moment, I can't believe I am a Mommy!

What a cute Daddy Levi is! I just continue to fall more and more in love with him every day!
