Sweet Cheeks

Where have we been?

 She's not telling...

 Maybe doing a craft with sidewalk paint...

Or just being sweet... (most of the time)

I wasn't able to get to the blog last Friday, but here are our "Friday favorites" from last week:
I found a recipe for sidewalk paint, and Delaney loved it! It was super easy and she played for about 15 minutes!

Sam Nolan relaxed and had a bottle while his sister was playing...

After we got messy, she took off her bow, got in a swimsuit and ran through the sprinklers.

Sam Nolan relaxed some more...

Another favorite thing is seeing the icecream man for the first time this season! We heard the music, rushed outside and Nannie pulled up just in time to take Delaney to get a Tweety bird popsicle.

My favorite thing was being able to see our little man turn two months old! 

He turned two months old March 17th, and he weighs 13 pounds 13 ounces.

Smiling boy...

 We haven't been to the doctor for his two month visit yet, but we did go to the doctor. I had noticed a place on his lip that he has had since he was born. It started out small, and I assumed it was a birthmark. As he grew, it began to grow and change color. No one even notices it, but since I give him bottles and see him all the time, I know every inch of him. :) I read a quote the other day that pretty much described how I acted about the little spot on his lip: "A worried mother does better research than the FBI." The doctor (who is not our regular pediatrician) examined it, and told me it was hemangioma. He then told me it was a tumor and blah blah blah. He said benign, but that didn't register at that moment. All I could focus on was the word tumor as he left the room to get pictures to show me. When he returned I had a small breakdown, he assured me it was fine, and I tried to compose myself. I'm not sure if showing me the pictures of what hemangiomas look like in all states of severity and locations on the body was the best way of going about reassuring me, but by the time he was finished I felt like Sam Nolan's "blood vessel buildup" was minimal to say the least. The doctor told me there is no way to know how big it will get and when it will go away, but that we can laser it off or treat with steroids when we think it's time. He also examined the birthmark on the back of Sam Nolan's head and told me it would never go away. I think it's just an "angel kiss."

Sam Nolan will never be embarassed about his birthmarks, but he may be a bit upset when he gets older and sees the picture of his favorite place this week...his sister's swing. He sleeps in it, plays in it, laughs in it. He loves it!
