Family Update!

On Saturday we took a trip to Kingsport and visited with our families. We stopped at Justin's parents' house first and had a great time with them. Poppy took Micah for a ride on the lawn mower and Micah serenaded us with a piano solo. You'll have to visit my husband's facebook for that video. It should be uploaded tomorrow.

Then we went to my parent's house where Micah ate strawberries and Papaw read him a book. I also came back with a huge stack of books!

We also visited my grandparents and all the great-grandchildren were present so they took a picture. My camera was being packed in the car because we were leaving so I don't have a picture of this at present. But I will get one and post it!

Here's a great picture of Micah before church Sunday morning.

New Zion Baptist Church had its annual Memorial Day picnic on Monday and we had a great time eating and playing volleyball!

Today we took Micah to his doctor's appointment in Cincinnati. They were thrilled with Micah and had fun playing with him. They said he looked fantastic and to bring him back in three months! Dr. Burrow was in Hawaii a few weeks ago and he brought Micah back a great Hawaiian outfit. I think he'll wear it to church tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll post a picture of that too.

We also went and ate lunch with Amy, who was his nutritionist when he was in the RCNIC.

We also ate at Chili's on the way home. We always have a really good time on these trips and I'm glad my husband is able to take the time off to go. It wouldn't be the same without him!

Cincinnati

Micah had a doctor's appointment in Cincinnati on Tuesday so away we went! We had to wake Micah up at 7 which is much earlier than when he normally gets up; he slept soundly with us standing beside his crib talking with the lights on! But he was his happy self after he sat up!We stopped in Richmond on the way up and got ourselves sausage biscuits and fed Micah oatmeal. Life's just not fair, is it? :) The outpatient clinic is actually in Kentucky so if you are there at a busy time you can avoid Cinci traffic completely! The doctor and nutritionist were thrilled with Micah! He's off the charts for his height and in the 90th percentile for weight. Not a small boy! They did some bloodwork and told us to bring him back after his birthday; they want to see party pictures! After that they are going to start spacing his appointments out to three or four months apart. We won't have results on the bloodwork for probably a week but assuming that all looks well they didn't make any changes to his diet. Micah does really well having his blood drawn. Those ladies up there are awesome! He doesn't even cry! Now if he'd only do that for shots....

We ate at Cracker Barrel on the way back. Micah had most of my carrots and then I took some bread and cheese for him. He really enjoys eating in restaurants, especially if there are ceiling fans! We stopped in Berea on the way back to let him out of his carseat to stretch his legs and drink his bottle. It will be nice when he can walk and we can actually get out the car with him. He was so ready to crawl around when we got home!

It's great to know that our son is getting such excellent medical care! God has blessed us with great resources to provide for him!
