Lots to do

As most of you may know by now, Eric and I are moving back to Oklahoma. We still need to finish moving out of our house in San Antonio, but that will happen this month. With us, moving means filling out all of the hospital paperwork ....again! This is just to make sure Eric gets all his medicine and is seen by the right doctors. We are busy, but are having a good time.

I planted a vegetable garden in the back yard with the help of the girls, my sister Brandy, and Daddy. Eric and Nana watched and came out to help water. It has been fun and we can't wait to see it grow! We have marigolds planted to keep the bunnies out. I have a picture of that to post as well as some of Eric.

I have been busy reconnecting with my old friends here in the area. I got to go to our Sorority Formal , the Alpha Phi Forget-Me-Not Formal. It was a nice occasion to get all dressed up for. I got to feel pretty and had no spit up on me for once!! WHOOHOOO!! I also got to take Eric to a friend's house for a cookout. That was alot of fun and he got to play with some babies. Eric is quite the social butterfly!

We also went to Edmond to visit Steph and John Mark. We went shopping at Target, Babies R US, and Penn Square Mall, and of course ate lunch!! We went to Teds for lunch!! Yum Yum!!

One day we went to Lawton with JJ and Jonas to find stuff for Kara's baby shower and again...we ate lunch! This time at Pizza Hut for the buffet! :0)

Then, last week, we went to Kara's baby shower were I got to take some great pictures of all of us. I took Eric outside in their back yard and got some really cute pictures with the flowers. He was so interested in the plants, that he would hardly look up at me. He is so curious! I think we have a smarty pants on our hands!!!

Eric has been trying to crawl lately. He assumes the position, and then rocks back and forth. If he goes anywhere, it is backwards..or he tucks his head and rolls sideways. Either way, he is mobil now. Once he figures out how to go forward, we are in trouble! He will be fast!

His vocabulary has really started to take off too...well for baby talk anyway! He is sometimes saying the usual first words..momma, dada, nana and papa. He has learned how to say YAY! now . His little voice is so cute!

Eric now weighs 13 pounds 3 ounces. He didn't gain any weight from last week. :0(
His kidney function numbers are doing pretty good still. No real change from the week before wich is ok. Everything seems to be under control and stable for now. He will be going to see Dr. Turman at OU Children's Hospital for his new kidney appt. starting in June. In the mean time, we will be going to Ft. Sill for his blood work and they will be talking back and forth. Dr. Turman was Eric's doctor for his kidneys in the NICU. It will be nice to have him as a doctor again.

Well, here are some pictures and I will try to keep on top of the blog now that things are getting a little more in order around here. Enjoy!!
