Williams Winter Home. "HEY YOU, GET OFF MY DRIVEWAY!"
Williams Winter Home. "HEY YOU, GET OFF MY DRIVEWAY!"
Originally uploaded by dougjsimpson@sbcglobal.net
cold to do anything and the visit was very short. Today, Christmas Eve, it had warmed up and we were off the the Happiest Place on Earth. We had a good time, we checked out the Baby Center at the end of Main St, very nice. They have changing tables, small kitchen, and a blocked off area for mommy to feed in private. They even sell diapers, formulas, all that kind of good stuff.Wednesday, December 19, 2007
i love christmas
There are a few new pictures at flickr, check them out. Jonathan is as cute as ever!
Simba remember who you are
When Edith and I hand JD off to each other, holding him like this, it always reminds us of The Lion King. This is Jonathan center stage this past Sunday during his dedication. As the pastor prayed Jonathan decided to translate it into baby, crying a little every 10 seconds, stopping to let the prayer continue, then starting up again. The smiles and laughs from the congregation were aimed at Edith and me.
Time has been flying by, and it is hard to believe that we are only a few short days away from Christmas. It is a little sad because Edith and I love Christmas but don't really feel like we had a chance to soak it all in this year.
In case I don't post anything else in the next couple days, Merry Christmas to you all!

Reindeer Round Up
It has been way to long since I put anything on the blog and I am sorry about that. I have been so busy lately that I just didn't make the time, plus I couldn't find the cable for my camera to upload pictures. So now we have a dozen or so new pictures up on flickr, most of them with a Christmas feel to them.
Things are going well here, not much news to report. We are happy and feel blessed everyday by the smile of Jonathan. He really has started to recognize
things more. We got him a new Looney Toons Mobile that he really loves, he just laughs and laughs as it goes around. He will even fall asleep to it on occasion.

What's the matter, never seen a baby reindeer before?
About this outfit, he wore it once. Turns out we got a 0-3 month for him at the store and discovered he needed 3-6. DOH! But the hat really completes the look.
Jonathan had his shots yesterday and was not very happy about it. The crying level went from 0-60 in a second and of course it broke the hearts of his mommy and daddy to see him crying so hard. The tears made his long curly eyelashes stick together and his face all red.
But out of this visit came lots of positive news. Jonathan is 12.5 pounds and 23 inches. Just another 7 inches and he will be half the size of Edith...YIKES, that will start making feedings interesting.
The best news however, and many who read the blog won't know about this as we kept it within the family ranks, is that Jonathan is healthy in every way. Because one test came back abnormal at the hospital they feared, even though he didn't have any signs other than some early extra weight loss, that Jonathan could have cystic fibrosis. So the test results came back, and they were all spectacular, not even close to being in a questionable range. This was another stressfull experience, a few months into the pregnancy we did a test that came back saying he might have downs syndrome, which obviously turned out wrong. The conception date was off by a couple weeks which messed up the time sensitive test.
This was a long entry, had a lot to say. Very happy about JD being healthy, it has been a long week and it is nice to have some positive news.
More pictures coming soon.

Yep, best picture of Jonathan yet. He is waiving the "ROCK ON" hand while smiling in his awesome Bronco outfit.
Yeah the Santa Suit is cute, so is the Reindeer one we have, but you can't beat this picture.
