I took the boys to the beach on this incredible morning! I cannot believe it was warm enough to swim in the lake at the end of the 2nd week of September.
I wrapped up Maddox's feeding pump and the connector with baggies and tape, but we went sans walmart bag. I do have a little pride ;)
I just held his backpack and ran the tubing out if he wanted to get really wet. I'm sure it looked weird to others, but he didn't care and he had a blast.
He kinda looks like one of those old time scuba divers. All he needs is a helmet.
I cannot believe how looooong Mason is getting. The boy doesn't stop growing.
Maddox actually walked the entire way from the van to the lake. Usually I have to carry him. And he walked all the way back. When I asked him if he wanted me to carry him, he said "NO!!!". Music to my ears. He has so much more stamina and endurance now. He doesn't ask to be carried up the stairs anymore either. And I haven't heard "I'm too tired Momma" once since he started the feeding tube.
I also noticed his thighs look a little chunky and he isn't so skinny around his hands or ankles. He loves to hear " there's more of you to squish now!"
The scale said 29.0 yesterday evening and today. That means he has gained about a pound a half since August 31. He loooooves stepping on that scale. I only hope it doesn't cause him to become overly worried about his weight when he is older.
I changed Maddox's tape on his cheek tonight. His poor cheek had tiny yellow blisters and is bright red. It looks horrible, but he says it doesn't hurt. It took 45 minutes to remove it, but there was no screaming. Hopefully I'll get quicker at this.
The carnage from retaping him. I used some new tape that is a 2 step process. But apparently I didn't get all of the non-stick protective covering off, so he has some attractive green stripes on his cheek. sigh. One of these days.....
