A Scare for Tripp

Loves his new Brain Gym!

He is very happy not to have an earache

Tripp, Jett and I went to Penna's last week. While we were there Tripp started draining fluid from his ear -- we rushed him to the walk-in clinic and they didn't know what was going on. So, I went home and went as quick as I could to our regular doctor. When we got there the doctor explained that his eardrum burst. And they had to do a spinal tap on him to make sure the infection had not spread to his brain. After a agonizing hour wait we found out it was localized in his ear. Thank GOD! We are so blessed. For the next three days we have to go to Moses Lake everyday because he has to have shots of antibiotics. One day of recovery and then I will be back at the hospital and doctor office for Jett to get his tonsils removed. So -- not much rest around our house but we are so lucky! The pictures of the boys were taken today! Tripp is a BIG FATTY! He weighs 12.3 pounds! He will be six weeks tomorrow. He also smiles now you can see his handsome grin in the pictures above!

Love to all.

Tripp and his family

Jett and Tripp went to a Valentines' Day party at preschool. Jett had to have him and Tripp dressed alike. He loves to match his brother. We also got a chance to go to Penna's -- which is always fun because we all get spoiled. On Valentines' Day we celebrated Tripp's one month birthday and Uncle Kip's 19th birthday! Today, Tripp got baptised into the Catholic faith Uncle Kip and Cousin Holly are his Godparents. Tripp is so lucky because he has two wonderful people for his religious and moral guidance.

Thanks to all the family members that attended this special occasion.

Showing off his thicker body -- praying he will get fatter

Tripp is growing everyday. He is addicted to his mom and is kinda fussing when I am not holding him -- I have spoiled him already! I love that he loves me. He is getting SO big-- literally he is huge. He still eats every two hours. During the night he sleeps for four hours and then has to wake up and eat. It is nice that he doesn't wake up every two hours during the night but in order to gear up for the night he drinks six ounces in an hour and half. He is an unbelievable eating machine! Jett is doing so well -- he is a big helper boy. He loves being a big brother and has been going with his Dad. He is a big worker man!

Growing

Tripp Allen is really growing! He is so fun! Jett is in love with him. Checks on him every five seconds. We went to the doctor yesterday for Jett and his snoring. It looks like Jett is going to have to have his tonsils out. So we are going to do it soon so I can do while I am on break.

Every night Jason and I get about two hours by ourselves with Tripp and we soak up every minute of it! Tripp knows all about the Bachelor -- he is really into it. Jason and I want Jason (the bachelor) to choose Melissa -- she is very cute! Here are a couple pictures of Jason watching the bachelor with his buddy!
