WEEK 8

Tripp is 8 weeks old!! He is such a blessing to Dennis and myself. He is growing so fast, he weighs 12.18 lbs. He is talking up a storm these days. He coos, goos, grunts, ahhs, and oohh!! He smiles ALL the time now. He is continuing to get stronger and stronger. I wouldn't be surprised if he is an early walker!

On the other side of things, Tripp and I are both sick. He has RSV. yuck I know, I am so sad. Respiratory Syncytial Virus is a very common virus that leads to mild, cold-like symptoms in adults and can be more serious is young babies. It is the most common germ that causes lung and airway infections in young children. Most kids will have this by age 2. Antibodies do not treat this because it is viral. So we are watching him very closely and hope that it doesn't get worse. Please pray for Baby Tripp.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, spending lots of time with all of our family. Luckily we didn't have to travel, unlike my neighbors who got caught in a snow storm on their way to West Virginia and it took 30 hours to get there!!!! CRAZY!! Anyway, here are a few snap shots of Christmas.

The Greatest Christmas Gift

Celebrate this Christmas
The birth of God's Holy Son
Give praise and thanks
For all that God has done
The miracles at this time
Are all too often hard to see
All of our time is spent
Buying presents for under the tree
Dont forget the reason
Behind this glorious day
Was a babe born in a manger
On that blessed Christmas Day
His life was laid done for us
Chirst, he gave us his all
To suffer our sins for us
In hopes that no one would fall
Our sins have been forgiven
All that's asked is we believe
There are no words to express
The love he has for us
Remember how he suffered
Before he died on the cross
Worship Him this Christmas
Fall on bended knee
Lift your voices singing praises
Let him be all you need
Though presents and decorations
Are a lot of fun
Give thanks to God this Christmas
He gave the most precious gift to us,
The life of his only Son.

Sleepy Head

12/16/09 Tripp slept from 10:30 pm to 3:00 am!! This is our longest stretch of sleep so far and Momma was very happy!!

6 WEEKS OLD

Tripp is 6 weeks old and is changing each day. Here are a few things he is doing these days:

He is beginning to smile quite often. He really smiles a lot when he wakes up while unswaddling him.
He just grins and grins.
He is making all sorts of sounds. cooing, grunting, mostly ahhhs. So stinkin cute.
He is holding him head up all the time. He has been doing this since we left the hospital.
He is pushing off with his legs. He was doing this the weeks we came home. He almost pushed off my lap at week 2.
He has really woken up the past few weeks. He just looks around the room. He has the most beautiful big blue eyes. He loves looking at the lights on the Christmas tree.
He likes his swing
He is a scooter! Several times I have put him in his bed and I come back and he has scooted the length of the bed!
He is is still waking about every 3 hours to eat so we are looking forward to the next few weeks
