Sorry!

For those remaining few that even remember we have a blog and check on it periodically, please accept my apologies for delaying this post so long!

This won't be lengthy, but a quick update for you:

Colin is just doing amazingly well from a developmental standpoint! He's as smart as any other 22-month-old, learning new words every day. He's become a big fan of Noggin (now Nick Jr.) and his favorite cartoons are Wow Wow Wubzy and Wonder Pets. Ming Ming is by far his favorite character - "this is serious" - for all you parents of young children out there!

Colin is knocking on the door of 25 pounds now and is actually on his age-appropriate growth chart (10th percentile)! He's still a shorty at 31 inches, but very proportional (actually in the 75th percentile for proportion)!

His vomiting hasn't changed, unfortunately, nor has his interest in eating. It's hard to watch him struggle daily with this. But it's become part of our lives, and he's learned to cope (as have we). We're throwing one last "hail mary" attempt to see if there's anything medical that can be done for him instead of just accepting "he might outgrow it". Next month we make the trek to Johns Hopkins - wish us luck!

Anyway, enjoy the updated pic of our beautiful son!

So glad to have the blog back! I was beginning to think maybe it was over. With your busy schedules, I can completely understand the delay however! I can't believe how handsome he is!
God bless,
Celeste
