7 Months Old (17 April 2011)

It is hard to believe that Nicholas turned 7 months old today. It seems like I just had him. He is growing stronger everyday. He is 21 lbs and 10 ounces and wearing 9-12 months clothes!  He is sitting up on his own and going Mum Mum and Da when he is wanting something or whinning.  He is so fun to watch grow and experience new things. He loves pulling all the toys off of his playyard gym and watching his special cartoons (Mickey Mouse, Handy Mandy & OSO). He is so spoiled by our family and friends!!

We are so grateful that Nicholas Jesse Faust has come into our lives. We think God everyday for him.  We do plan to have another one if God will grate us a little brother or sister for Nicholas.

Nicholas at the Emergency Room 15 Apr 2011

  We had to take Nicholas to the ER on Friday evening due to him running a high fever. It started on Wednesday night and progressed as the days went by. We were Lucky that theytook him right away. His temp was 103.4 degrees which had gone up from earlier that day from 102.9.   He was such a good boy while they took his blood and x-rays. The result from all of this is that he had to have more frequent breathing treatments for the next 2 days (every 4 hours) and they put him on a stronger steroid for the next five days.

Nicholas finally calmed down enough to get a few winks before the Pediatrician came to see him.

They even have the gowns that show your butt for babies.

Nicholas looking peeked and wanted some loving from Mommy during his ordeal at the ER.
