Toby is still toothless but has almost conquered rolling over. He started that about 2 weekends ago. He was taking a nap at daycare yesterday and was on his belly (I have never seen that happen) because he rolled over in his sleep. He doesn't usually like to be on his belly so I was really surprised. He will transfer a toy from one hand to the other. However, he still isn't holding a bottle, pulling to sit up, reaching for us to pick him up, sitting unsupported or bouncing on his legs when held in a standing position. He should be doing all of these things and maybe even crawling by now but that is ok... Help is coming soon.

Linda and I took Toby to the Doctor today. He has been fighting a cold for a little over a week now and he started pulling at his ear a couple of days ago. He has an ear infection again. No big surprise there. Dr. Baliga gave him an antibiotic and a combination medicine for his stuffy/runny nose and cough. He weighed 15lbs 11oz and is 7months 18days old. He said that other than this cold and ear infection that Toby looked pretty healthy. You know he does have his moments don't get me wrong but I have never seen a child that can feel as bad as he has lately and still laugh and smile like he does. He is just a pure joy to be with. I thank god every day for my children. I am so bless.

Hunter has a basketball game tonight and another one in the am. Baseball tryouts are next week and he and Thomas are really looking forward to them. Then we have one more week of basketball before the season is over. I am so proud at what Hunter has done this year. He has really progressed quite a bit this season. I am not sure how many points he scored the first game but I think it was 4 or 6. He scored 16 in the 2nd game and last week he scored 8 more. He can be quite the ball hog but I have really enjoyed seeing him take up a sport that is indoors and doesn't involve a small hard ball. LOL !!! I love to watch him play baseball but that is all he and his dad ever talk about at home. It has been nice to have a little diversity. Thomas has shown that he is a good coach no matter the sport and I am so proud of his accomplishments and willingness to step in whenever needed. We continue to work on Hunter's grades and sometimes struggle with his attention span in school which leads to behavior issues like excessive talking or not sitting in his seat like he is supposed to. Please pray that this will work itself out. I really am not sure if there are many more medications out there to try.

Thanks for you interest in what is going on in our lives ... We hope to hear what is going on in yours.
