Yay! A Mother Load of Pictures!

Bath time fun!! Mom, really, do you always have to give me this hair style!!



Sitting with aunty Kara and cousin Kali Rose, she is getting so big!

I'm makig a cake with mommy!

Ahh man, there is that crazy hair style again =)

Hanging out with cousin Charlie a few weeks ago, he really liked wearing my backpack!



Adina loves to sit with Oliver. She will always ask to hold him and then will say, "Go mommy, get the camera!" She loves him so much, and he loves the sound of her voice!







Oliver had a great day! He does bring his hand to his mouth a lot, but has never brought a toy to his mouth like this! Go Oliver Eugene! (The video cuts off quickly from my camera battery dying)

Many of you have been worried about us and we appreciate the many calls and prayers sent our way. Thanks! We are doing fine, just had to deal with the news thats all. We were expecting something like that, like maybe he would just be delayed more than they thought. We were not expecting the doc to say that he probably won't walk and probably will start displaying more autistic characteristics. No, this was not something that we knew all along. So, yes, it was hard and we were very sad about it. But, as Sheryl Crow says, "If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad, if it makes you happy then why the H are you so sad?" Plus, I am pretty sure that Oliver is going to surprise everybody and we are going to be right there to say way to go little man. Back to the process of "normalization." One of the mom's from our online support group said something that made me laugh, "Taryn, normal is just a setting on a washing machine."
We will constantly have the rush of feelings arise at rare no good times at all, we are human. But we are happy, stressed at times yes, but happy. Nite everybody

I love the pictures! Those two are too cute. What a nice big sister Adina is giving hugs and kisses. And Oliver looks so much bigger. What a little sweetheart. Thanks for the update. Linnea says "hi" to Adina and really cracked up at her hairdo in the tub!

What sweet pictures! I'm so proud of Adina and how she treats her little brother.
Adina and Oliver keep growing up. Wish I could see you all more often. So, we appreciate the updates.
Much love!
