2 months old...

drew is 2 months old today. he is growing up too fast.
specifics @ 2 months: weight: 11 lbs. 5 oz.
height: 23 inches
smiles
"talks"
loves to be held






we also found out today that drew has scoliosis (curvature of the spine). he will have to go to a specialist to find out how severe the scoliosis is and what will have to be done for it. from what i have read on the internet, treatment ranges from physical or occupational therapy to surgery. of course surgery is for REALLY bad cases. his pediatrician seemed a little surprised and said that scoliosis in babies as young as drew is rare. it is usually detected much later. hopefully we caught it early enough that it will be a quick and easy fix.
please keep him in your prayers and hopefully all will be well soon.

so sad :(

when i came home from work today, i noticed that troy looked funny. upon closer inspection, this is what i found.....








he had an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite! not only was his ear swollen but he had another bite on his leg that had swelled to the size of a quarter. it was really sad when it started itching. he looked like a dog scratching and his little ear just flopped. his ears are really soft any way and the swelling didn't seem to affect the floppiness. poor troy boy :(
