Here Kitty Kitty.....

I was reminded by Nan (aka my Mom) that I haven't posted an update in quite some time. It's been busy at the home front and time is just passing by. I commend all my blogger friends for being so dedicated with keeping their blogs updated. I do enjoy peeking in on a regular basis for updates and for that reason, I will just hang my head in shame as I just haven't been committed these last few weeks. Hopefully this entry will get me out of my funk and I'll be back on track.

Noah seems to have turned the corner on his health. It appears he may have been having a reaction to the prevacid. On the prevacid he had a bad rash on his legs, arms, stomach and around his mouth . Along with vomiting & diarrhea. His new GI Dr. ( who I like very much) said he it may be an odd reaction and he switched him to prilosec. He seems to be doing better. He is more energetic than he has been in months and actually sleeping much better at night. I suppose I would sleep a little better too, if I would be brave enough to turn the monitor down about 100 decibels. My poor DH, never once has he complained about the "static monster" humming all through the night. He understands it just gives me a peace of mind and for that I thank him dearly.

Noah took his 2nd plane ride. This time to NC to throw my sister her baby shower. It was a short flight, just 1 hour and he did awesome. He loved looking out the window and pulling the shade up and down. Thanks goodness the passenger in front of us enjoyed Noah's games!

It was a short trip to NC, arrived on Friday and left Sunday morning. We packed in a lot with both my sisters and Mom. Noah absolutely fell in love with my sister's cat Kallie and his PT would have been proud of him. He crawled and crawled after Kallie. I wish I had a video of him chasing her around the suitcase and up the stairs. The pictures do not do it any justices. But who can resist picture of our big boy.

Some milestone updates, Noah is starting to cruise. He can take 2-3 steps along furniture and is starting to take steps behind his wagon. He is still weak in his mid section but definitely has the strength in his legs. We are going to start working on the exercise ball again. WE meaning both Noah and I.

He is now signing, More, Eat, Milk, Thank You, Hat, Itsy Bitsy Spider (soo cute), Dog, & All done & blows sweet kisses. He is starting to understand NO but chooses not to listen most times.

Our sweet dog Cody needs to have leg surgery as he tore his ACL. This is not something new to us, as he tore his ACL on his left leg 3yrs ago. After next week, we will have a dog with bionic legs. He hasn't been feeling well and Noah has been trying real hard to comfort him. Isn't he soo precious.
I hope I covered most things worthy of spilling over the web. Continued extra prayers to my friends Chelsea, Parker & Rhett and their families, as well to all those in need of prayers. Cheers, Terry
