Almost 5 months!

I'm sorry for disappearing on you guys. Family came in and so Thomas and I pretty much lived at his grandparents' house for nearly two weeks (as I know a lot of y'all know first hand :)). 

I know I promised to go into detail about what happened when Adam fell, but I've since decided that it's best to just focus on the good stuff (plus, all of the bad is mentioned in post I linked to in my previous post) and quickly tell you all that, if I didn't mention before, he did get a skull fracture in the front of his head, have to get three stitches, and spend the night and next day in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit), but, as his pediatrician noted, "he dodged a bullet" and seems to be doing just great. We go back to MUSC on the 24th of this month for a neurology follow up, but more on that when it happens.

As far as how he's progressing, he's super alert and seems to be starting to understand some of what's going on around him; he's doing great with his rolling over and now likes to poke his butt up into the air and try to scoot along whenever he can; and he's on track to finally start veggies on Saturday (his pediatrician said to try things by themselves for five days before switching, and so, though I started him on rice cereal nearly a month ago, I only got around to giving it to him for a fifth time today, with all of the hubbub going on).

He's gotten to where he sleeps in some pretty crazy positions now that he has more control over it.

He got to have fun with and meet a lot of new, pretty cool people, from my friends Katie and Ricky, to his great aunts and uncles and second cousins (like "Aunt Joanie" here).

And just stayed all around adorable. I took this picture today after he was done eating (and I adorned his head with a frog hat that's definitely too small for him now) and I'm pretty sure it's my favorite now).

Finally, I added Thomas as an author to this, so expect plenty of pictures on his behalf. He loves capturing moments with his little tyke.
