The last two weeks have been crazy!!! We had been preparing for a long trip with the baby. I had to pack a few days ahead of our departure dat to make sure nothing was left behind. Traveling with a baby is hard, traveling with a baby with special need triple hard.
We consulted with LJ's surgeon to make sure we could leave for a month, and decided it would be good to get a dilation before we left. We were not super happy with the idea, it was just going to make my week more complicated. I had back to back therapy appointments, I had to do packing, laundry etc etc, last minute shopping, and a dilation!!!! but in the end it al worked out great, and we were able to get everything taken care of!!!
We took LJ to get his first haircut!!! We went to a kids place, they had TV's, and little chairs that looked like racing cars, he was really into the decoration, not so much into the haircut, he cried, and screamed, and moved . . . we made a video, this will be a great memory, but the end result was great, our little man looked just too cute!!!!!!!!
The day finally arrived for us to leave for a nice relaxing week to Aruba. Aruba was not in our original plans, we were only going to go to Colombia, but we decided to celebrate my husband's grandparents 50th anniversary. We had a great time, and were able to rest. The party was great, we dressed the baby in the mini version of Jorge's outfit, they looked super cute!!! Everyone was super excited to meet him, and see how much he had grown, and progresses. This kid is very special, he has so much people praying and loving him. God only knows what he will become in life, but we are sure it is going to be something great just like him!!!!!
We took him to the beach for the first time, he loved it. We bought a baby floating device, or lifesaver (however it is called), he just sat there and relaxed. He was really into the waves, the scenery, the water, everything the beach had to offer, he even liked feeling the sand. He just had a great time, and so did we. Watching him grow and change so much is just a blessing.
So our Aruba stay came to an end, and we had to get everything ready for our flight to Colombia. Well thing went OK!!! We had no delayed flights, we had great seats on the plane, but as we were getting ready to leave we realized we had a 3 hour connection in Panama!!!! We sat for 3 hours until it was time to go home!!!! We arrived a little bit late, and Bogota was freezing. We went from 100 degrees to 50 degrees . . . . and of course we were not prepared so now we are home and LJ has a bit of a cold. Thankfully we brought his suctioning machine, and it has been really good!!!!
Last night we put Lj to nap on our bed. It was not a great idea. First he had a wet burp or a huge spit I would have to say. It got all over our sheets . . . and then, he peed so much, that it got out of his diaper, and once again all over the sheets!!!! Amazing huh?????? This kid may have just one kidney but it sure does work for 3!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!
Last night he turned 9 months old. Like every month we made a little sign, and started taking pictures!!! LJ decided to hold his sign, pose for the camera, and then after he got tired of doing that, he decided he would eat the sign!!!! He eats paper, blankets, toys, my fingers, nut when it comes to food, he decides to shut his mouth or blow raspberries!!! He is quite a character!!!!!
Enjoy the pictures!!!
