The Winner is...Scarlet Rose!





Great Grandma Daisy bought Scarlet a rocking horse for Christmas. She made a garland of pink roses for it's neck because she said, "She won the race!".
She really has, we are so blessed to still have her in our lives.

"What? Am I doing something wrong?" Playing with Daddy's RockBand cords. Caught red handed.

I'm a big girl now!



Scarlets first standing without support from us experience. She's got the hang of it now. She's a big girl with two teeth coming in and crawling all over the place.
You can see her new style of I.V. pump in the picture. I still have to hook her up everyday until September. I need someone to help hold her hands now while i am hooking her up since she is so active. We also have to keep a close eye on her since she is crawling, she crawls away from her pump.

A very Merry Belated Christmas




Here are a couple post Christmas pictures. The Stemilt fruit packing company donated the Christmas tree along with many other wonderful gifts. We were hoping to be home for Christmas to enjoy them but we were able to have a belated Christmas at home together instead. We loved the tree and all the trimmings they gave us. It was really nice to come home to a decorated house.

Hey!!! How'd these get in here??? You guys have your own page!
Haha!

Not quite good enough for AFV



I love AFV. My favorite parts of the show are when they show kids falling asleep in their food. I've been waiting for Scarlet to do that and here she is asleep in her high chair. It was pretty funny watching her eyes start to droop and then her head sink toward the tray...as always, so cute!

Scarlet is Home!





Scarlet is HOME!!!! We are so thrilled to be back home! There really is no place like it. Scarlet is back with her regular Peds DR. and has a home care nurse come once a week to draw her blood and other checks. It may be my imagination but she seems to be happier now that we are home, maybe it's because I am or because she's with her daddy again. She can't go out in public places until Sept when they will check immune function. Which also means that we really limit visitors, especially kids. We still can go on walks and be outside, we just have to be really careful exposing her to the sunlight. We went on a short walk yesterday and in order to take her out I have to put sunscreen on her. Not an easy thing to do with a 9 month old baby, darn near poked her eye trying to put some on her nose. For that reason, we will really limit being outside. But it gets a little suffocating sometimes staying in doors all the time, especially after having been stuck inside the 6 months in the hospital. So don't be surprised if you see us out walking the block when it isn't covered in snow!
Charlie's work sent Scarlet balloons on her first day home. They were so thoughtful! She had fun playing with them. They came with little play turtles which she loves playing with. Anyway, thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers!
