Sunday July 6th

We hope everybody had a good 4th of July Weekend. We certainly did. We managed to have a pretty uneventful weekend. Good food, good time with family, and just spending some time together as a family. Doesn't get much better than that!!

Today after church we took Dawson to have some pictures made. The same Dawson who has a hair trigger smile, The same Dawson who would just as soon smile at you then anything. The same Dawson who is happy happy happy the majority of time was a blank canvas today. He sat there and basically stared down the lady who was trying to get him to smile. He gave us absolutely nothing. Not a grin, not a frown, not a smile, only the blankest stare you have ever seen. Personally, I think he thought she was crazy. Isn't it amazing what grown people will do to try to get a baby to smile. Why is it that people will talk to a baby like its a golden retriever?? and why does your voice go higher and higher when your trying to make a baby smile??? These are questions I am pondering tonight....

Seriously though, he has been a very happy baby. He is continually sleeping 6 plus hours straight during the night ( which is really cool) and he is eating us out of house and home. No joke, this kids eating like a horse. Topamax usually suppresses kids appetites big time but not Dawson. I love a healthy appetite!!!

So our miracle continues. God's grace continues to leave us in awe and we have been blessed by him far more than we ever deserve.

Your prayers, thoughts, and comments mean the world to us and we pray that each and every one of you will be blessed for all you have done for Dawson and our family.

Our love to all

Jeff and Allison
