A few of Kanyon's favorite things

I figured after Ricky's intense comment on my last blog..I'd better get a post up here FAST! :) Things are going well here at home. Kanyon seems to be getting the hang of the eating thing a little better, so that is good. He has started to wake up a little more and his awake times are SO FUNNY! He is so alert and looking all around, kicking, squirming, and even trying to raise his head up. Most of the time his head just falls right back down, but we like to see him using those muscles. We have to be careful and not play too long so we can eat before he goes back to sleep. All you parents know how hard it is to feed a baby who wants to sleep! My mom is leaving today. It has been so fun and so helpful to have her here. Especially with the amount of time it takes for our warming bottle/eating/burping/pumping/washing bottles and pump stuff/mixing new milk with fortifier/diapering routine. Whew! We are getting a little faster though! Mom has been a HUGE help! Those of you who know my mom....Think she's taken many pictures????? :)
Here are some pics of Kanyon doing a few of his favorite things:

He LOVES this Rain forest soother thing. It makes outside noises and bubbles and lights up. I had several moms tell me to register for it. I did but had no idea that he would love it so soon. He loves it and shows it with his whole body!

Of course this is probably his most favorite thing to do. He's still got lots of growing to catch up on! A special thank you to Cousin Parker for picking out this fleece for him to make a blanket. He loves it! FYI some of you have asked..that bubble looking thing you see on his head..that is his temporary shunt. When we pump it the fluid collects there just under his skin and then reabsorbs into his body. If he has to have a permanent one, it will be in a different place and more hidden.

Tummy time! He loves to lay on his tummy! Today he was really raising his head up, making noises, and being so happy.

Have a great day!
