Spencer is really doing a great job healing from his surgery. We saw his surgeon today and she said he looks wonderful and is looking exactly how they wanted him to. (I could have told her that he looked wonderful, but I guess she needed to see for herself.) She did say that we will have to come back in a few months to recheck everything, but we should see his forehead continue to round out over time. The swelling is almost gone and he is looking just like Spencer before the surgery with the exception of the incision. The only real issue we have now is his sleeping and his
clinging to me. He is getting better about the
clinging, but the sleeping is still a work in progress. He is waking up every couple hours, but it is getting easier to get him back to sleep. The first couple nights home were pretty rough, he would only sleep a few hours at a time and only if I was holding him...needless to say we didn't get a whole lot of sleep at first. Here is Spencer standing up with Dean's help...he still isn't crawling, but does like to stand if we let him!
We have had the cushions off the couch to put behind Spencer when he is sitting on the floor so I put them around Aubrey on the couch and she sat in the hole and loved it...and to think we spent money on toys and all she needed was some pillows around her on the couch!
She is crawling around like crazy and is starting to pull herself up on her knees, but doesn't have the confidence to pull up to her feet yet.
Here is the little man...you can already hardly see the incision on his head with his hair over it. We were happy and surprised that they didn't shave it all off!
And our beautiful little girl...crawling to her Mama. Actually she was crawling to the camera I was holding, but I can pretend that it was me that was the draw!
Here she is getting ready for bedtime one night and peaked out of her crib rails like she was in jail...too cute and always makes me laugh!
And last but not least, Aubrey's bed-head. Her hair is getting so long on top and in front that when she wakes up it is usually sticking straight up.

Glad to see Spencer is doing great! You sure do have two beautiful babies to love.
Karri,
Thanks for the update on Spencer. I was wondering how he was doing. He looks great! What a trooper he is. And I'm sure the night sleeping will return to normal soon. You all have been through so much, but have come through just fine. Both Spenser and Aubrey and so darn cute. Wish we lived closer. God bless.
Love,
Aunt Cathy
