BIG NEWS!!

It's been awhile since I took some time to sit down and update everyone on what's been happening in the Warner house.  A lot of things have happened in the past month, but more on that in a minute.  The biggest news of all can't wait...BENNETT GOT HIS G-BUTTON OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to the surgeon's office Monday just to talk to him about getting his button out in May since the GI doctor didn't want to take it out yet, but when I walked in he was more than eager to remove it and who was I to argue with him!  Bennett has been doing great eating (his food and ours!) on his own and gaining weight and we haven't used his feeding button since the beginning of January.  He was ready and so were we!  We stopped by Jason's work and surprised him with Bennett's G-Button in a bag...a little strange maybe, but Jason couldn't wait to take it back for show and tell! 

Now to backtrack for a moment to catch you up on everything else...

A few weeks ago Bennett got his first hair cut and did great!  Blake got his third...that kid has a ton of hair!


Bennett also got a clean bill of health from the orthopedist.  He no longer has to wear his brace on his arm and he won't have to have surgery to release the tendons in his elbows!  He also has started weaning off his reflux medication, and hopefully in the next 2 weeks he will be off of it all together!

Blake is crawling everywhere, pulling up, and is into everything!  Baby gates are in our near future!  Bennett still isn't crawling.  He is doing better with his core strength and he is trying to go from sitting to his tummy, but he can reach so far and scoot that I don't think he sees the need to crawl.  Just like everything else with Bennett, he will do it when he is darn good and ready and when we least expect it.

Yesterday he got the 'thumbs up' on his eyes.  He doesn't need glasses and thankfully all that oxygen didn't affect his vision.

All in all everything is going well and we couldn't be more ecstatic with our boys growth and progress.  To say the least Bennett has been our little over achiever the last few months and exceeded all of our expectations!  Their first birthday is only 16 days away and I have been planning for months!  I can't wait to have a party with our family and friends to celebrate the first year of these little miracles!


More birthday pictures...I can't get enough!


They are loving blueberry oatmeal!

It always taste better messy!

Bennett and cousin Maddie...I think they will be best buds one day!
