Kanyon's latest milestone is that he hit 5 lbs today!!! WOW! 5lbs 1.2 oz to be exact! YIPEE! He's taking his bottles better so they've started giving him a bottle 4 times a day instead of just 2. They are doing another head scan tomorrow to check on his head. As of Wednesday, he still had the bladder infection, but hopefully its gone by now. We are ready to figure out what is causing these things! Other than that, things are going well.
Probably the most fun thing this week has been Kanyon's VISITORS!!! Now that he is in IMC you can see him through the window. The windows aren't open very often and they won't open them unless there are parents in there, and even then you can barely see him. But, that is better than nothing! Some of his biggest fans got to see him this week. So, enjoy these pictures.
Aunt Rachel and Cousin Roselyn's first time to see Kanyon!!! Uncle Clint hasn't seen him since he was a 1 pounder, so this was WAY FUN! Kanyon even waved at them from his bed!
Church buddies The Porters, Thomas, and Corbitts. This group included Kanyon's future BFF Blake who was born only a few days after him.
Cousin Avery meets Kanyon!! Aunt Mo hasn't seen Kanyon in a while either, Kanyon made lots of funny new faces to show off for Mo and Avery!
Family reunion! Great Aunt Mary Lynn and Great Uncle Steve, Cousins Jay and Paul and CDR friend Kaylee came to say hi! Cousin Paul even got the government to be extra slow on his passport back home to Korea so he could see Kanyon! :)
Here they are looking in on him.
I think this pictures is hilarious! He's wearing PANTS!! They were huge, but it was so funny. He's such a grown up. 
Keep praying! See what your prayers have done??!!!

Oh, Jaymie, blessings abound. I weep with joy for your family as we have watched Kanyon grow and pass so many milestones. On Monday, little Sam will enter this world. I believe that he and Kanyon, though they've had different journeys, will be bonded forever as God's littlest warriors!
Praying still...

You and your family are true examples of faithful strength. I am floored by your peace and joy when I read each post. You are setting a very high standard for Christians in taking what the world gives us and using it to God's glory. You who have blessed so many, be blessed and know that you are deeply pleasing to our Lord.
Jaymie, WOW!!! You will have him home in his room before you know it. It is great to get the updates and of course, we love seeing the pictures. Ya'll are always in our prayers. Peggy
Jaymie and Kory
What a sweet time! I know that it probably wasn't easy chaning up the rooms but I know that you know we are praying for you and all those little details that sometime may take your breath away. I am proud of little Kanyon and I can't wait to see him! I can't wait until he is able to go home to his own bed, that will be a surreal day won't it. But what a joyous occasion. We continue to pray, we love you dearly!
Susan (and Jeff)
Way to go Kanyon! "HIGH FIVE" for all the growing! He's going to be playing bath tub basketball in no time!
God is good!
Love ya Jaymie,
Tracie
what a treat for Kanyon to be able to have so many visitors! and 5 lbs already... wow! before too long you will have to use 2 hands instead of 1 to show how many lbs he weighs! praise God for his growth and our prayers will continue. love and blessings, annalee
Jaymie, he is so precious! It won't be long until he will be as big as Reese! We are so thankful for so many prayers answered. You and your family have shown such faith and peace. We love ya'll. Jody
Praise the Lord! He looks so big and healthy! I will continue to pray every day until that baby is home!
Wow! A 5+ pounder! I am so proud of Kanyon for all the great things he is accomplishing. To God be the glory, GREAT things He has done! Looks like we need to try to schedule a road trip before too long! Thanks for sharing all the details with us. Precious!!
Praise the Lord! GIrl, I am so excited for y'all! Kanyon looks great in his pants, and I'm sure he'll grow into them soon at the rate he's going! What a tremendous blessing to be aware of these daily miracles. Thanks for keeping up on the posting, don't stop! :)
Oh my!! I remember when I brought home my 32 weeks and he was exactly 5lbs. On our first trip to Target a lady commented on how small he was and I just smiled. I wanted to tell her how BIG he was. Be prepared for people to ask how old his is, see how small his is, and then ask a TON of questions. On the days I didn't want to explain, I just gave his "adjusted" age. Too many questions and I didn't want people breathing on him while I explained! Praise GOD for 4 bottles and room air!!
Julie (Jodi's cousin)
What a precious boy... I love the pants! And 5 pounds is so big... Praying that his homecoming is not far away. Love you!
High five for FIVE pounds! That is just amazing! He is growing so fast... and it just doesn't stop. True miracle. :) Love the updates, love the pictures, love you guys! We love seeing answered prayers everyday on your blog!!
i am sooooo happy for you and Kanyon....this is so encouraging, especially now. my sister is involved with a micro preemie... her parents did not want her before she was a micro and they still do not... she is in the NICU in Amarillo, and I got to go see her yesterday. I met with the doctor and Stormi, so they let me back. I could just picture Kanyon and how far he has come. Morgan ( the baby) was born somewhere around 24-25 weeks and weighed 1 lb 11oz and was 12 inches long. She had her eyes already opened, and is doing quite well... she did have to have the surgery on her heart for a heart murmur, b/c it did not fix itself....and her first head scan was not good at all... a 3 on one side and a 4 on the other.... the doctor said that the brain is still in development and research shows that some of the time new cells will "fill in" for these damaged cells... and he said that until a baby is about 8 yrs of age, they are making new lung cells if they are damaged... God is amazing....I believe that Kanyon is doing so well because of God and the power of prayer, and support from his family. I hate to be a bother, but if you think of it mention Morgan in your prayers.... she does not have anyone other than my sister to love her and Stormi does not have anywhere near the support you all do.... praise God tonite for all those who love you! Anyway, Morgan's main concern is for her brain to heal, and produce new cells, and to continue making those tiny little milestones.... I cannot imagine such a little baby with no one to love her.....but she does have love and the doctor also told us that these micro preemies do really well in homes that are stable, and devoted to helping them.... I know Kanyon has such a home and I thank you for shaing your journey with me and others, b/c it has helped me while dealing with Stormi and Morgan... she is 20 days old today.... we have a long way to go, but look at what we have to lookf fw to...
love you guys, lf
Yeah! What wonderful news and sweet pictures to see! We are so thankful Kanyon has exceeded 5 pounds. We see God through your attitudes and joy, and we continue to thank Him for all the goodness. Thanks again for sharing your story. Now we will be curious to see what all you artistic people are doing to that nursery! We love you.

Praise the Lord for hitting the 5 lb mark! It's amazing to see how far he's come. I love all the pictures of the visitors and the joy on their faces. The little pants are adorable. We're praying you guys will bring that sweet boy home soon.

It's great to see how Kanyon is growing. God is taking good care of him. He'll be home before you know it and I'm sure he'll love his new room. Prayer works. KT
Jaymie & Kory, we have been following your journey and have been praying our hearts out. Our daughter, Anna Wren, was in the NICU for 15 days but 8 of those were life and death. We understand on a much smaller scale your thoughts and feelings. We are SO excited that Kanyon is doing so well and We rejoice that you heard the word Home recently! What great news! We love you both and your little KAnyon. Thank you for keeping us up to speed on what to pray. Love you! Keith and Martha Rogers
OH MY! What a big boy! I can't believe how quickly he is growing! Tyler can't wait to get his hands on him and we can't wait to see pics of Kanyon's room! Happy 1st Father's Day to Kory. We love you all and continue to pray for that little man!
HAPPY, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, KORY!!!! We are so anxious for your SON (isn't that neat?)to get home--and especially looking forward to his first trip to Paris! Can't wait to hold that big boy......
Love you 3!
Martha
I can't believe how quickly he is growing. It seems like he gains a pound every week or so. (Maybe I'm exaggerating, but that's what it seems like). His progress is amazing and we are so happy for you guys that he seems to be doing so well. Way to go, Kanyon! Keep eating and growing!! Love you guys, Jocelyn and Mark
What a big weekend! How blessed we are to have such a wonderful family! We are super excited to hear all of the great news! We will continue to pray and be happy to hear great things from the growing Phillip's Family!
Karl and Andrea
Hey Jaymie, Kory, and Kanyon, I was so pleased to read about last week's accomplishments. I am so proud of you guys and hope that this week will bring even more moments to be joyful (and even happy) about. Love you guys,
-Terri
