More pictures!

January 2011

I need to post from the holidays! But these are my most recent pictures of the kids. We have had fun spending time wiht friends and cousins. Dylan has a wagon and the kids loved playing in it. Sadie is doing great! She is so curious of the world and loves to play. Dylan is the best brother ever and shows her toys, likes to hold her and gives her lots of kisses! We are doing great! Dylan is learning more everyday and both kids just bring us so much happiness!

As for Sadie... she continues to grow and gain weight. She still eats from her haberman bottle and has started eating solid foods. She LOVES to eat! Her surgeon is anticipating repairing her pallet early April and we are even considering March 31! Big jump from the initial thought of July! We are excited to help her get through all of this!

Halloween and activities!

We have had a busy couple of weeks! With halloween approaching its been fun visiting the pumpkin patch and painting pumpkins. Dylan wasn't so into dressing up, but he loves his bones jammies so that worked for trick or treating! Sadie is so fun to dress up since she is so itty bitty! Here are some pics from this past couple weeks!

Fun Pictures!

Sadie had her MBS test today and was cleared for all liquids! Yeah! We will continue to give her rice though since it helps her maintain weight. She did great. Dylan went to a friend's house to play and did great there too! All is well here in the Schreiber house. I hope you enjoy the new pictures!

Fall is here!

Life is going well for us! Sadie is now three months old! We had pictures done at the picture people and we got a few cute shots! She is so aware and smiley now. She loves to suck on her hands, look at books, lights, listen to music and stare at her crazy brother! Dylan loves Sadie. He looks for her everyday and brings me her carseat when he wants to go somewhere. Dylan has been enrolled in Gymboree classes and is adjusting to "structure" or maybe not adjusting yet! But its sure fun! Jen came to visit last weekend and we had a lot of fun hanging out and shopping! Life is good for us!

Next Thursday Sadie has her Modified Barium Swallow test which will determine if she still needs rice in her formula. Then November 1st we see the pulmonologist and hopefully will have the Apnea monitor removed. It's such a blessing to help us know she is safe, but its a PAIN! I lately pull the cord out all the time and the beeeeeep is so loud!

I started playing tennis again and I'm really loving that! That's all for now!!!

One Month Home!

Our Sadie girl is doing so great! She had her two month appointment and was 10 pounds one ounce. She is 23 inches long. She had five shots and had a fever and wasn't a happy girl, but has since bounced back. Dylan is loving having a sister and says ba-by all the time and even says sister. He loves to lay with her on the pillow and wants to make sure she is with him. He brings me her carseat whenever he wants to go anywhere. He tries to help out by giving her his sippy cup or laying with her when she is sad. Pam is visiting us now and we are having a great time. Dylan has been playing a lot with her. We are enjoying the last couple weeks of a warm pool too.

We went to see the cranial facial specialist and she said we will probably fix Sadie's cleft palate at about one year of age. We see the pulmonologist this week and we will check the monitor and how she has been doing. In October she will have another Modified Barium Swallow test to see if she still needs thickened formula.

Dylan has been doing great with learning his letters! He is already pro at his numbers and recognizes all numbers 1-10 and can count with help to 20. We are considering joining Gymboree Classes so he gets some more socialization. Should be fun! I hope you enjoy our recent pictures. Look at Sadie's plump cheeks!

Fun Pictures of my girl!
