Collin at 7lbs 9oz

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Collin is gaining weight at a good rate.  But, on the flip side, he has also been experiencing some reflux.  For now, he’s on a thrice daily dose of Zantac, and Brandy has to swear off all dairy products.

During her pregnancy with Gareth, she became an avid milk drinker.  Now with her second child, she has to give it up.

Gareth gets his say

“Ask mom why baby cries.”

Today, Gareth used an Intellikeys keyboard to write out, letter by letter, the sentence above.  This is a pretty momentous occasion as this marks the first time that Gareth has ever independently conveyed exactly what he wanted to say.

Until now, he has been limited to “speaking” via the choices we’ve given him or to the icons available on his Mercury system.  But today, he shared his thoughts.

The only assistance he received was help stabilizing his hand.

We can’t wait to see what he says next!
