Jim Beau on the move

A quick update on Jim Beau!    We went to the ENT last week and he said, "it looks like a bomb went off in his ears."  ha!   So, we are getting new tubes put in on February 17.  It is perfect timing for him to start feeling better because the next day we are going to Disney on Ice and then on the 20th we fly down to Orlando for the week.   He has his yearly appointment with Dr. Kays (yea!) and we will do Disney World. We haven't told the kids that we are going to Disney.  We've just told them that we're going to Gainesville. They will be excited!!

Jim Beau loves cars and trucks.  If you ask him, "What is your name?" he says, "cars."  He loves watching the Cars movie, which we do at doctor's appointments and while waiting for Sissy at dance class.  Second to cars and trucks is parks and slides.   Thankfully there are many many parks to choose from here!

We are still working on getting him to eat.   The other day he ate 3/4 of a corn dog and I was so excited because they have so much fat.   But, the next time he was offered one he didn't eat it.    We just continue to offer him different foods and hope that some catch on!   He actually eats many different foods, they just are not high in fat or protein.    He is still at only 24 pounds and we were hoping to add a few more before we see Dr. Kays in a few weeks!

Here are a few cell phone pictures from an afternoon at the park.    I added a few of Jane Ritchie, too.  She came in here as I was working on this and was very upset that there were no pictures of her!    It is hard to be the big sister.   We have a family blog, but I have not updated it since this summer.  I guess I better keep it up, too, so that Jane Ritchie does not feel left out!  :)
