Chapter 21: Happy New Year!

2017, What a year it has been! We started the year off a little rough after learning about Alex's diagnosis. It was a lot of unknowns and quite a scary road at times. But on April 6th our little peanut entered the world and surprised us all. He has been quite the fighter! We owe so much to everyone at CHOP for saving his life.

We have watched him grow into a strong, happy little guy who loves his big brother more than anything. The bond they have created in the short almost 9 months they have known each other is amazing. We can't wait to see what kind of trouble they get into in the years to come.

Even though 2017 brought a rough start we wouldn't change anything and couldn't be more thankful for everyones love and support over the last year. We hope everyone has a happy, healthy and safe new year!

Love,
Bobby, Erica, Ben and Alex

Happy New Year!!!

Chapter 20: Happy Eight Months!

Eight months! I can't believe eight months have gone by. Alex has hit a few milestones since the last post. He has mastered sitting by himself and has started army crawling!!!

We have had a bit of a rough month with illness. Everyone has been sick st some point and unfortunately Alex has been sick several times. He was doing better with his intake, even taking some formula and had gained 7oz in 2 weeks! But after the most recent illness he has lost 6oz. Hoping it all ends soon and he starts to gain some weight again.

This past month Alex was baptized. It was a wonderful day! We also had a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for.

We are excited for Christmas and have a lot of fun things planned over the next few weeks.

We have a cardiology appointment next week for an echocardiogram. Fingers crossed Alex cooperates and everything looks good!

Enjoy the pictures! We hope everyone has a nice holiday and a Happy New Year!!!

Love,
Bobby, Erica, Ben, and Alex
