Just shaking his mints..

You expect me to drink this coffee cold??? And where is my newspaper??

Well.. I guess the water bottle won...

Bro's

OH MY GOSH>> what are you doing to me MOTHER?

I will gladly play with the yogurt but don't even THINK about putting it in my mouth..

Ok Dad, if this pic ends up on facebook you're in big trouble!

A little Christmas carol torture by Daddy...

The Dink is doing well! He is up to 25 pounds and down to 16 hours on tpn per day.. that gives him 8 hours of freedom from tubes! He has been in and out of the hospital due to line infections but we are home now and praying we stay home for Christmas.. He still doesn't eat or drink anything but we keep trying.. He is close to crawling and into everything he can get to.. He loves to sit with a basket full of toys next to him and dig through it.. so cute! We moved him to a twin bed with rails to give us a bit more room for his tpn and feeding tube bags... seems to be working out really well! It helps that he can watch his tv and his beloved channel "Babyfirst tv".. he LOVES that channel and it is very educational so we love it too! He understands the word NO and has a funny reaction to it.. he starts off sad about it then goes into ANGRY mode... haha.. he gets very mad at US when he gets told NO... it's hilarious to watch really.

His labs have all been coming back with good results.. sometimes he will have some elevated levels but nothing to be too alarmed about. We still have a nursing shortage.. it's very difficult to manage but we are doing the best we can.. We have a night nurse a couple nights a week but no day nurse so we are relying on Grandma when she is in town to help out... I try to work 2 days a week but it's almost impossible with no one to watch Lincoln.. we really need a dependable RN for a few days a week but no luck finding anyone yet.

We are looking forward to Christmas and seeing the boys with all their new toys and presents... we will be sure to post pics soon :).

Merry Christmas from the Rossman's!
