September 27, 2009

Hi everyone,
It has been another busy month. Sulli is in daycare now 2 days a week and everything seems to be going great. There are some pictures of Sulli and Tobin playing during daycare below. Tobin is a sweet little dude and has awesome 70's rocker hair!
Sulli is also walking now like a lunatic. He falls down about 30 times a day and watching him has become an entirely new experience. It's great though!
We moved Sulli's room from the room connected to our bedroom to his own 'big boy' room down the hall. The move went really well and Sulli seems to like his new room. It is nice not having to sneak through his room to get to our room at night, and to be able to talk instead of whisper when we are in our room
We all got the plague this month too which totally sucked, but we are finally all feeling a bit better. Sulli still has a snotty nose every morning though.
And we chose to put Maddie down this week after she bit Sulli in the face several times. It was horrible and totally not her fault. She never wanted to be around Sulli but once he was able to walk, he was too fast for her. He grabbed her and wouldn't let go, so she freaked out and bit him. Unfortunately, he still wouldn't let go so she bit him more. She was deaf too so couldn't hear me screaming at her. It totally sucked and I hate that we have any bad memories of Maddie. Sulli is just fine though, just some scratches and one little wound in his mouth that has healed up fine.
We love you all!

Sulli loves his cell


But hates it when Mommy is in the bathroom




This was after the biting. Below his lip is just a gross, half chewed fig newton. New fun trick is chewing food and spitting in out.

August

Hi everyone,
Sulli's due date was today so he officially turns 1 (well neurologically anyway)! It is so hard to only post once a month, too much happens. We had the NICU reunion at the beginning of the month. Sulli wore Ben's 1970's Superman jumper to the party and he looked perfect. We were interviewed by a foundation that raises money for the NICU which was a little weird, but whatever we can do to help!
Sulli was almost walking for a few days, but lately has been working on getting some new teeth so all other developmental milestones are on hold. It's amazing how they can only work on one thing at a time.
Sulli started daycare with a former patient of mine and her 16 month old son, Tobin, today. It was nerve wrecking, but he seems to have had a good time.
We also took Sulli to his first Western Montana Fair! We dressed him up in the most white trash outfit we could find so that he would fit in with the other 4-H'ers. He didn't care much for the cows or pigs, but he thought the lamas were hilarious.

Love you all and enjoy the overabundance of pictures and movies!
Jess, Ben, and Sulli



































Sulli was not impressed by the weed eating mountain sheep

Danger baby!

One of our favorite nurses, Lisa, was there

Sulli must remember her
