Chidrens Hospital Check-Up went SUPER

Nothing but good news at our 1st monthly check-up for Reid at Children's Hospital in Seattle. We got there & our lab guy got the blood draw w/ one poke. The doc was so happy w/ Reid's progress, we dropped a med & will be dropping another April 5th. He'll need a little higher dose of one, but that because his diet has changed, because hes is eating so much food. He's sounds like Bill Murry on "What About Bob" when he eats, he makes noise w/ every spoon full. We also don't need to come back for another 3 months. Also labs will be only twice a week now, & doctor visits in town once a month. Cool, cool, cool! Mike & Shawnie were the only ones bumbed about the news, they have to wait longer to see the boy, once a month was barely enough for them. Reid gave Shawnie about 10 big kisses in a row last visit, was awesome.

He is so happy, Mom celebrated by taking him in the pool at the hotel on the way home. He loves the water. He loves to blow bubbles & make that spitting sound w/ his tongue. Needs a bib on always. Gives sloppy kisses to mommy & all the girls, won't kiss Dad much unless I just shaved. It's so cool, the reality of having a happy healthy boy is starting to settle in a little more each day. Can't wait for the weather to get nicer so the family can go around & show him off.
