picking up speed

Over the past few days, Dawson has really been working on his crawling skills and let me tell you, this kid is a fast one. He gets a little tentative on the hardwood flooring but get him on some carpet and you better watch out. With his size and speed, there are some future Auburn quarterbacks who should be quivering in their diapers. ( ROLL TIDE ROLL) Ok yeah so its getting close to football season and we get a little rabid in these parts over Alabama/Auburn football.

He is doing great and we have been trying to focus on letting him get to sleep on his own. As these kids are always prone to having seizures as they are going to sleep and coming out of sleep we have just always kept him beside us so we could constantly monitor him. That and he was waking up 20 times a night. So now that hes in a good sleep patten, we are inching him closer and closer to sleeping on his own and getting him to do that all night.

He is still eating really well. He eats anything that is put in front of him and we have started letting him eat some of what we are eating as well. So far no food aversions and we are digging his healthy appetite. Some solid foods hes eating are: apples, bananas, roll, potatoes ( baked and mashed) chicken nuggets, ham, and green beans. Of course all of these are given in small sized portions and he enjoys putting all his teeth to work.

Katelin is still doing great. She is still in her " honeymoon phase" and at this time is not requiring as much insulin as before. When her honeymoon phase comes to an end it will be back to injections with every meal again. She has to monitor her b/s at school and she has adjusted exceptionally well to starting this school year with diabetes.

That's about it from us for today. We are fixing to start our Saturday errands and we pray that everybody has a safe weekend. Thanks for your support and prayers. We love you
