now when ever i pick up the camera and point it at Tavan he makes this face...awesome.....

just thought i would share

Tavan enjoys music..he and i used the ipod a lot during our trip

Tavan had a play date not that long ago with William

not so sure he liked it (he had to share his mommy)

Tavan is learning to share early on

Tavans Tubes!

After waking up at 4 and a drive to Grand Junction, Tavan arrived and got all checked in at Community Hospital. He did so much better than we expected we thought for sure because he was going to be hungry he would scream the whole time, but he didnt we just got a lot of this look.

Tavan was pretty mellow and loved the attention. once we were all checked in we had to wait for the doctor and what not so Tavan and i took the opportunity to sleep and cuddle. before we knew it the doctor and anesthesiologist showed up talked to us and Tavans nurse took him away :( Ricky and I waited for like 20 min before the nurse popped in to tell us they were done and Dr. would be coming in...well while waiting for the doctor over the intercom we hear "code in rm 2 PACU (recovery room)" i. start. wiggin'. like really freaking out, but my wonderful husband reminds me that Tavan is ok and that its not him....after what seemed like hours( more like 2 min) Dr. Huffaker walks in and says everything went great and Tavan is out and doing very well.....huge sigh of relief...the code is not mine to worry about.....
shortly after a nurse comes to waiting room gets us and says "he is not happy at all, you better come" and as we start nearing his room we hear blood curdling screams and finally see him after walking down the hall. he takes one look at me and screams bloody murder and once i get a hold of him....he stops....hahah (mommas boy??? i think so) After Ricky and I got back there Tavan was happy and pleasant and ate like there was no tomorrow. then an hour later ate again (we were discharged by then). Since we got home Tavan has done amazing...rarely cries and is one pleasant little boy. Thank goodness. We are so happy that things went well and are excited to see if the frequency of his infections goes away now!

9 months

I can't believe my baby boy is 9 months old! my how time flies! Tavan is doing awesome. He will be getting his tubes in his ears on Wednesday. Dr. Kwak says that Tavan is the poster child for kids that he has seen with weight troubles, Tavan is not maintaining at a constant weight gain...he is skyrocketing! Originally Dr. Kwak predicted that it would take up to 3 months to get back on the charts but within a month Tavan was on...and now he is continuing to have a steep upward climb. YAY! here are Tavans percentages
