It's been a loooooong time...

Yes, I have been bad about updating here, I'm sorry! I'm going all the way back to April with the pictures. But I'll update on the Eric happenings...

He's still a two year old who's all boy. That says most of it right there. He loves being outside, no matter the weather. He's enjoying having daddy around, so am I. Paul made him a scooter he enjoys riding. The playground, especially the one at the "helicopter" park is his favorite place to play. We got him a $10 inflatable pool which he loves. His eating is better, even though he eats like a typical toddler. Still doesn't take in enough to stop the tube feedings, but we're getting there. If he could live off of Cocoa Krispies (favorite breakfast item), hot dogs, bread, corn on the cob, pasta and M&M's, he'd be good. He does like many other foods, but those are his favorite.

Eric will be the ring bearer in Paul's niece's wedding September 12th. That should be fun! And he will look so cute and handsome in a tux. I, silly me, am making the wedding cake. Hailey asked for it, so Hailey will get it...a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. After much thinking, pondering, facts from the bride and decision making, I have come up with what/how I'm going to do it. I just pray it all works out and Hailey is happy with it. It's our wedding gift to her. I say our because Paul does watch the terror while I work I things.

And finally, Eric will be having an abdominal hernia repaired on September 24th. Not looking forward to the 2 1/2 hour surgery and 2-3 day hospital stay. My poor baby!

On to the pictures! The first two are scans of a couple his 2 year old portrait sitting..
