Fun in the ball pit :-)

Thank you Aunt Leslie and Uncle Chris.  We really like our ball pit. :-) 

So much fun... :-)

We haven't been to Erwin this time of year in a long time.  We decided to go and limit our visitors to family ONLY.  Obviously to protect Braden's health and thankfully he did GREAT.  We have noticed a pattern that any longer than three days and Braden will start having lots of drainage.  Not sure if it's just being in a different environment or what.  Thankfully since Braden has been on singuliar as long as our visits are SHORT we can take them.  Maybe in time we can go longer distances but for now we are just thrilled to be able to get out. 

Avery (Braden's cousin) and Braden got along so well.  They just had the best time together.  We also visited with Matthew and Riley.  Grayson had a good time with everyone but seemed a little shy and overwhelmed at times.  Riley enjoyed playing Ipad with Braden when Braden would share. lol  We visited with other friends as well.  Brinkley and Corbin came to visit and Braden just adored Brinkley.  Corbin entertained Grayson and just made him laugh and laugh.  It was a sweet visit. 

Here are a few new pics

A much needed post

I just realized how long it's been since our last post. :-(  We have been so busy.  I have been limiting the boys TV as much as possible and that means they need lots of attention.  Some days I am just wore out and give in to the DVD's.  But overall we are doing really well.  Braden does several activities that are equal to what he'd be doing in school.  He has actually started using his voice alot more.  Still no words but we will take it.  He always regresses some in that area while not in school. :-(  Grayson is now getting angry with Braden when Braden takes his toys or throws his stuff in the floor.  There have been a few moments where Grayson wanted to throw Braden to the ground but then thought better of it. lol  They both enjoy getting into the toy bins.  Grayson has sustained many an injury due to all of his climbing and Braden has managed to stay out of too much trouble.  All in all it's just a big fun fest at our house.  Feeding is still an on going issue.  But I finally managed to get Grayson to gain weight again.  I just give him one serving of carnation instant breakfast a day and it's been helping.  I am still offering foods to both of them however Grayson is very stubborn and cannot be tricked fooled or enticed.  Everything is on his terms and I mean everything.  Braden likes cheeseburgers and BK chicken fries.   The chicken fries were not actually for him they were mine but he decided he wanted my food over his... and this has been on going ever since. :-)  It's a good thing but does kinda mess me up at times as I don't get a full meal.   We are just glad he can eat new things and actually chews them up without gagging on them.   Well there really isn't much more to report.  Grayson's last Ped well visit he weighed 20 lbs 5 ozs and was 31 inches long.  He's a shrimpy.  Now he weighs 21 lbs 6 ozs.  So that's a huge improvement.  I will just have to be careful not to let him get fat.  ha ha... Here are some pics from the past few days.
