My sister, best friend and confidante

I was going through some of our old family photos the other day and found some gems of my big sister. I Love her so much. We had our differences as kids, but now that we're grown-ups we have found that we are the best of friends. I don't know what I would do without her and I know that she feels the same way about me. It's hard to live so far away from your best friend and I am conforted that she is only one phone call away. Rachel, I love and miss you so much..... oh, and here are some of my favorite pictures of you. Enjoy.

The "blue" ghost.

The eternal optimist (hahaha)

I love you Rachel!

Happy Holidays

Collin was singing along with the Christmas carols that we were singing at a "holiday" party we went to for a group we are part of at the childrens health center. He was so fun! He loved Santa and all the military volunteers thought he was adorable. I got a chance to talk to a few of the other parents and it was wonderful to hear that alot of the babies in our group are getting alot healthier. I love to hear success stories because they give me hope for the future. We have another visit with the nephrologist today and I hope to hear good news about Collin's kidney health. The last update we received stated that his kidney function is improving but not yet where they would like it to be. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and praying for his health.

Love you all,

Marggie and Collin

Sippy Cup and Solid Foods

We finally got the approval from the doctors to have solid foods! Collin has high potassium levels so we can only pick from a smaller list, but at least he's eating the food. So far, he really enjoys peaches, green beans and applesauce. The nutritionist at the WIC office also said it would be smart to start him on a sippy cup. I got one that is similar to a bottle to start out and he seems to like it better than a bottle. I snapped a few shots of him today while feeding (which is much harder than I thought!) and he just loved it! Collin really is such a ham and totally knows what is going on when he sees a camera.

Check out the peaches

Sitting up in his bouncer. What a smarty pants :)

Collin

I know I need to update this blog more often, but I tend to forget or am too busy to do so. So, here are a few pictures of Collin from the past few weeks........ and yes, he is the happiest baby in the world.

Collin's First Hair Cut

Today Grandpa Benny and I took Collin to get his hair cut. He was such a good kid and didn't cry at all. He basically sat there and let the nice lady do her job. I know that this will probably be the only time he does that but I was so proud of him. I took a few pictures at the salon and at home. He looks so grown up!
