Jonah has graduated mary free bed. He was only in therapy for 4 weeks! Praise God!!!!!
He is drinking all his milk and we have not used the pump in days! We are on our way to getting his feeding tube out. He has has been eating so well!
Thank you Jesus for taking away jonahs reflux and helping him want good and drink!
Today is the first day that jonahs drank all 4oz of his milk by mouth and not tube fed! Thank you jesus for helping this child eat. He has been doing so well with eating it is simply amazing!
Both the boys got their first hair trims today! Now we are going to get one year pictures done.
Caleb is getting two more teeth on top. That totals to 6 teeth! :)
Caleb has been saying dada here and there.
Jonah still only has four teeth!
He has been saying dada baba and very rarely mama! :)
Saturday was their first birthday and I still cannot believe it has been a year already. What big boys we have. Thank you God for giving us such great little guys!
Today is caleb and jonahs first birthday!
Happy birthday to our little loves!
Thank you Lord for giving us such a special year. It was very hard at times but you walked us through it. we want to thank you for helping our babies grow big and strong. We love you Lord!
The boys are getting so big! It has been crazy with them. I am very sorry I haven't posted anything in a long time.
Caleb had a second circumcision yesterday. :(
Jonahs nissen has not worked and he has been gagging and throwing up. We are currently getting things checked out.
They both are getting two teeth on the bottom! Jonah is starting to crawl and they are both trying real foods! Such big boys we have!
The boys are getting so big! Jonah can roll from his stomach to his back! Caleb is trying, but because he arched his back so much when he was younger, it is stopping him from rolling onto his stomach.
They are both starting to laugh and talking more and more each day. Caleb is now 15lbs and jonah is 14 lbs.
Jonah has a new feeding pump which has been very helpful to us and him. He has not really gagged or spit up at all. He has not taken a bottle for awhile now. :( he does good taking milk from a dropper though. We are working on getting his pallet rounded out because that is stopping him from sucking. Poor little man.
Yaa! Jonah rolled over from on his stomach to his back for the first time today. They are getting so big! Jonah has not been taking his bottles. Not exactly sure what happened or why. I am putting my full trust in the lord. He knows what is best for him.
Dear lord, please help jonah with taking his bottles and continue to help the boys grow big and strong. Thank you for giving us these two amazing little boys.

Wow, it has been a little while since we have posted. The boys are doing great. Caleb is 11# 14oz and 23in and jonah is 10# 2oz and 22in. Jonah is doing well with taking his bottles. Some days he doesn't want them but then other days he does well. They are cooing and smiling. Caleb also rolled over from front to back. It is so amazing how far they have come.
Thank you lord for everything you have blessed us with. Our boys are so good. Thank you for healing them and helping them grow.
Caleb rolled over for the first time from stomach to back! yaaa such a big boy! I'll post the video later, if I can
Caleb is now 10#10oz what a big boy! They are growing so much. He has been very fussy, whinny and needy but he is still a precious little boy. He is smiling and cooing as well and loved his tummy time too. He still doesn't really sleep in a crib, he just loves his swing, or our arms. Hehe
Lord, we ask you to please help our boys with this on going congestion and calebs diarrhea. Please give jonah comfort with his feedings and his button. It has been kind of sore and tender lately. We thank you so much for helping them grow big and strong, you are an amazing god and we are truly blessed that you love all of us so much. We love you, amen.
About 9# 10 oz he does good some days with his bottles and somedays he doesn't do so well. He gets a little antsy and he is such a good baby, sleeps all on his own and only cries when he isn't feeling well or hungry. Starting to smile and coo and he loved his tummy time!
Both the boys are sick, caleb has it a little worse but he is very congested and can't breath very well.
Jonah had a hearing test today he didn't pass on the right ear, so we pray that he just has fluid in the ear canal and not hearing loss.
Both the boys are doing good, starting to get used to each other.. Jonah is so content and a good baby!
Thank you lord for my precious babies.
Finally after 3 1/2 long months jonah is heading hone.
Thank you jesus for keeping our little one safe and healing him well, you are an amazing savior. We are so thankful for everything you have blessed our family with. Amen
Jonah is coming home on tuesday! We are so happy and blessed to have both our babies home for good! Thank you jesus!
He is doing well after his surgery on thursday, started feeds today and off the ventilator. He also has had no alarms. We hope to start trying to bottle feed soon!
Thank you jesus for holding jonahs hand during his surgeries. Also, for helping him recover, we are so thankful to have such an amazing god!
Jonahs surgeries went well. He actually had two hernias.
Thank you lord for being with jonah during the surgeries. I know you will continue to heal our little boy and make him even stronger.
Tomorrow 1/19/12 jonah will have his surgeries. The little guy will have a circumcision, hernia repair, gt nissen (where they wrap the upper part of his stomach around the esophagus) and a G tube put in his stomach. He needs the tube until he can master the bottle.
Please lord watch over my little guy and hold his hand through these surgeries. He is a little fighter because of you and we thank you so much for giving him strength. Please lay your healing hands upon him and let these surgeries help him so we can bring him home safe. We love you with all our heart lord. Amen.
Jonah didn't go through surgery tuesday, I am sorry I didn't update. Caleb has been a handful, but an amazing one at that. Jonah should be getting surgery next week monday or tuesday. He will have a go nissen to close of part of the esophagus because of sever reflux, also he will have a valve put in his stomach to be fed through until he masters the bottle. He will also have the hernia sugary done. My poor little guy has to go through so much.
Dear jesus, I just ask that you hold jonahs little fighting hand through all of this. He is such a good sport and we cannot wait to cuddle him at home. Thank you for giving our two amazing little fighters, they have been through so much, but we know this is your plan to make them stronger, and have a story about how the grace of god got them through all of this. Amen.
Please pray for jonah as he goes through the surgery tomorrow! Also, pray that it helps with his feedings. He may have to have another surgery for his reflux, where they wrap the esophagus so nothing can come up. Poor little guy.
Big guy is doing good, poor guy is constipated and hasn't pooed since he has been home. :(
Dear jesus please help caleb go potty. He is so uncomfortable. Thank you for helping him grow and staying well. You are amazing and we love you so much, thank you for everything you have provided us with and the amazing people that love us.
He is scheduled having a surgery tuesday for his hernia. Please pray for my little guy. He just has to start finishing his bottles and get the suck swallow breath down. He is working with the special therapist.
Dear lord, please help jonah with his feedings and hold his hand through his surgery. You are the ultimate healer thank you for always being with my boys and blessing us all!
Night two is going better with caleb. I think he was not sure what was going on it where he was. You are home for good baby. We can't wait to have jonah home too. We love you boys!
We are bring our big boy home today! After 2months and 20 days of being in the hospital, he gets to come home. We are so excited yet sad to leave little guy in the hospital. Your time will come very soon jonah.
Dear lord, please let the drive back and forth to gr be safe. Please help jonah learn how to take a bottle well and keep growing and getting stronger everyday. Thank you for our precious boys.
