Dezi Playing at School

Dezi has been at school now for a few months and has progressively done better each month. What is exciting is that he is doing a lot better with his bottle feedings. Dezi reached a new mile marker taking a full 6 ounce feeding the other afternoon. Also, he has consistently been doing better with taking at least a couple of 4 ounce feedings each day.

He had his 4 month check up this past week. and another round of shots. This time around he did a lot better with managing the pain. It always hurts our heart to see him cry by someone inflicting pain but in all he did very well. Dezi weighed at 14.8 pounds and measured 25.5 inches long. He continues to be in the 50th percentile on the growth charts.

Here is Dezi playing at school with a fellow playmate this past week. They all seem to play well together at this age.

Dezi Photo Shoot

Melissa had some professional pictures taken of Dezi a month ago. We finally got the pictures back and I thought I would share one with everyone. Melissa had several photos to choose from and from that collection they were put on to one large print that will be framed. This is one of those pictures that was in that collection.

Anniversary

We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year on June 26th. I found a picture from the night I propossed. We had dinner at McCormick and Schmicks that night. Our parents were waiting in the bar area for us after dinner. I remember it like yesterday. I can't imagine what life would be like without any other way than it is today with our new addition to the family.

Many blessings we have and we are ever grateful.

First Father's Day Gift

My first Father's Day gift was a MU grill cover. I always wanted one and it is perfect.

Some Updates...

It's been a number of weeks now since Melissa has been back to work. Dezi is doing better as each week progresses (knock on wood) and he is taking a bottle better than he has in the past weeks. This past Friday Dezi's school was closed for the 4th of July holiday weekend. I had to use a vacation day and stay home with him. We had a really good day. It was a first for me to have him for an entire day with the exception of us visiting Melissa for lunch. I'm looking forward to more days for us to share one on one.

We a couple of milestones this past month as we celebrated Melissa's 30th birthday and our anniversary. Both were special as we celebrated them with Dezi this year. We continue to count our blessings. Here are a few recent pictures to update everyone.
