Checking in with Analise

 From Erik and Dawn:
Where does the time go?  Analise is almost 7 months old and now weighs over 15 pounds!!  Tonight we were looking at pictures of Analise of when we came home from the hospital 6 months ago and we were blown away with how small she was.  Newborn diapers were too big on her and now she is almost into the size 3's.  Slow down Analise!! 

I love sitting up...but...
HELP!!! I'm falling...

...and I can't get up...YET!!!



Hey...where are the matching shoes!!

Analise is eating stage 2 foods now and drinking 4 ounces of pre-digested formula during the day and 5 ounces a couple times during the night.  She still throws up when she sits up from the pressure on her stomach.  We can't wait until that's over.  And she's not sleeping through the night yet, but hopefully that's just because she's been sick.
Analise loves to eat, but gets upset if you don't feed her fast enough!!  ;-)




Analise has been sick the last couple of weeks and that's not fun for her, or her parents.  She first had the croup cough for about a week and then after she lost that, she got the cold/flu thing that her mommy and siblings have had for the last 2 weeks, and an ear infection.  Hopefully soon we can have a sick-free home, and maybe a little more sleep. 
Even though she was sick, she still had a big smile!!


Surgery is still a go in about a month in Philly, (April 4th) and we are getting a little more nervous with each passing day.  We keep hoping Dr. van Bosse examines her and decides she doesn't need the surgery, but whatever is best for Analise and her future.


 Analise loves to "sing"... and "dance"!!  ;-)







Dawn had her birthday on February 1.  She's now ??.  She also had the week off last week and got to spend every minute with Analise.  She loved it and kept wondering how she could make it happen for the long-term.  Lottery?  I even saw a few lottery tickets around the house.  She's trying!!!



Kaley, Kyle, and Kassandra are busy with school and sports.  Kaley still isn't big on this driving thing, and we're o.k. with that.  Kyle is playing lacrosse and getting pretty good at it, he even made the all-star team.  Kassandra is playing on a AYSO flex tournament team, and although they're not winning, they're getting better.

As for me, with all of the above, life is just busy.  A few weeks off at Spring Break will be much needed by all of us.


Thanks for your continued questions, comments, and concerns about Analise and our family.  They are greatly appreciated!!
