Way too busy to blog~

I have so much I want to post about, but no time to do it! We had a fabulous time with my sister's family while they were in town from Alabama. So many cute pics as well. All of the Christmas celebrations went well. The boys really seemed to have made a connection with "baby Tanner" as they call him and they were VERY excited to see and touch him! Koen even helped feed him a bottle. Both boys very much enjoyed playing with Tanner's toys, from crawling into his Exersaucers to sticking his binkie in their mouth!! LOL!!

My Christmas break was so busy that I really feel that I need a vacation to recuperate! I am behind on so many things still. I did up date Tanner's baby book developmentally and medically. That felt productive!

After many appeals and much diligence, Tanner finally got approved for the Synagis shots to protect him from RSV. Nothing like the insurance companies waiting to the last minute. A home health nurse showed up on New Year's Eve, the VERY last day of 2008 that would qualify, to administer the medication. Tobin's insurance switched on Jan. 1st, so we were down to the wire. This way the new provider will view it as an existing prescription and continue the meds through April. Thank the Lord as this is a $1500 shot we are talking about! Whew!

Tanner is doing so well! He has had three PAT meetings and seems to be doing everything that a baby his age should be doing except sitting all by himself. Well, maybe for 5 seconds...but, that doesn't count! He has really found his tongue and love to giggle, so much that it impedes my progress as I try to feed him. He has enjoyed sweet potatoes and carrots, and will try squash tomorrow. I have about 4 days left of frozen breast milk supply and then he will move on to formula through one year old.

Tobin and I are doing well. We are busy doing some things around the house and trying to get it child-proofed. We are still trying to find that balance of taking care of Tanner and still feeling like we have a life of our own! Tobin manages better than I do as he has been hunting recently. I haven't been able to scrapbook much at all since Tanner was born. Life is just so hectic! Not having to pump, wash parts, thaw out milk, and make bottles all the time may make a difference. I hear formula is much easier since there isn't a temperature issue.
