It's been a long time since we've updated everyone on everything going on, so we'll take a quick tour through our last few weeks since bringing Silas home from Dallas. Due to Sy's premature lung development, we need to be extra diligent in avoiding any respiratory illnesses this winter season. So, we decided to have a nice, laid-back Christmas at home with no travel and limited exposures. Two out of three ain't bad!! After warp-speed gift opening with the Miller Family, all 12 of us headed off to Shea's in Buffalo to see a live performance of White Christmas. We had a great day and enjoyed celebrating with the family before getting hit with the big snow storm!
On Christmas Eve, Heidi's parents watched Silas so that we could go to church together. The day was doubly exciting as we celebrated 6 months since Silas joined our family!! What an adventure we've had since then! We decided to take a break from a whirlwind of services by taking some Christmas cookies in to Sy's first home...the NICU at Sister's Hospital! It was so good to see some of the people that helped us so incredibly much in getting Silas to this point!
Our Christmas with Silas was amazing! We celebrated together as a family, singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and reading the Christmas story. Santa, of course, dropped by sometime in the night (or early morning) with a couple of little presents and to enjoy some cookies. Turns out he is lactose intolerant as well. Who would have guessed?? And to remember what a special first year this has been, Silas got a train set from Mommy and Daddy to have under the tree each Christmas season. We rounded out the week by celebrating with Auntie Christina and Uncle Rick (who wore a mask the whole time!), Nana and Papa and great-Nanny and Poppie. We'll never forget this first Christmas together!
And, one last major milestone included introducing solids into Silas' diet...Very exciting!! Rice cereal down and on to butternut squash!
Here's a picture to prove how very little is getting into his mouth!
