My Valentine

Valentine's day was productive! I made Tony's Valentine, just a card, and 52 things (written on a deck of cards) he can do to enhance our love! Good idea eh? Also gave him peanut butter M&M's and Love Potion #9. (got some of the ideas from a friend on Facebook! ). We gave Maximus a package of diapers, a cute monkey (from mom) and a book (from dad). Tony had to work late, but brought me a beautiful bouquet of roses! I made homemade heart shaped pizzas for dinner, totally forgot to take pics! But they were good! Of course the grandmas spoiled Maximus (and us) for Valentine's also! Candy, outfits, and toys! Maximus also got a cute Valentine outfit from aunt Rosey, and cute Valentine pj's from his aunt, uncle and cousins on Tony's side. (pics of the Valentines events below)

I think my little man is gaining weight! He feels heavier to me. So I'm praying for over 9 lbs by February 23 at his 2 month check up. He is still wearing newborn diapers and mostly newborn clothes. He is almost in an awkward stage where newborn is too small, but the next size up is 3 months and that's too big and the 0-3 months are mostly too big too. So I'm hoping he will gain some more weight so his clothes fit him better. He is still on the oxygen, and we won't go back to the cardiologist until the end of March. We also go back to the dermatologist on February 20th. Just mostly a follow up and he will give us some techniques in keeping his skin healthy. Then on the 28th we have Kids On The Move coming for the second time to go over some goals and things for the next few months. Also Shriners evaluation appointments on March 5. So some very exciting appointments the next few weeks!

Also a special thanks to my aunt and uncle Taylor for the letter and support. Words cannot express the kindness you've shown us. We appreciate it so much. We love you guys and hope to see you soon!
