I have...

pink eye and an ear infection.  Good thing we have surgery scheduled for next Tuesday.  Starting antibiotics tonight and hopefully it will clear up in a few days.  The doctor said if his eyes don't look better by Thursday morning she'll call in to the pharmacy some eye drops.
He hasn't been able to open his eyes when we wakes up in the morning the last few days.  His little eyes make gunk all day.  My poor baby.  He has a great attitude though, you wouldn't know he's sick.

I can stand

Jay can pull himself up at the sofa!  Way to go Jay, your legs are getting so strong!  Now's he's all up in my business when I'm on the sofa.  Humphf....

He's made such huge strides since November.  He's learned to crawl, drink from and hold his sippy cup, feed himself anything from ravioli with a fork to Cherrios with his hands.  He does sign language for "more" and "milk".  He puts his arms up when you say "arms up".  He'll walk with you holding his hands and now he can get to standing on his own.  IN 4 MONTHS, when we first took him with us at 16mos old he could barely stay sitting up.   He's gained 3+ lbs and 3+ inches since being with us.  He's doing so well and we're very proud of him.  He's very curious and makes the funniest sing song sounds.  And what about that smile?!

His surgery is scheduled for April 6th.  After that he'll start working with a speech therapist and I imagine if he progresses like he has been doing he'll be saying words in no time. 
That's all for now.  Hugs!

Zilker Kite Festival

It was a beautiful weekend in Austin. The weather was wonderful. Austin's "Zilker Kite Festival" was Sunday and we walked from the apartment around the lake to the Zilker
side. Jay's wearing a new hat from my sister-in-law's mother. It's cute, but still a tad big, but it's perfect for the sunny and windy day.
There were so many people, kids, dogs and of course kites at the park. I mean tons of people. We had corndogs and sat in the grass and we had a great time. Everyone was pooped
and we all slept really well last night.

Hugs!
