About the painting…

The picture of Troy is one of my favorites.?? I may have to use it yet again in another composite because I struggled to make up my mind what to do with it.?? The bed is a red doll crib that Sweetie finally surrendered to me for newborn shoots.?? Little Bear lower left was given to Troy on his official “Gotcha Day”.?? Larger bear belongs to Tori.?? Elephant was given to Ty by his birthfamily when he was in the NICU.?? You know who Sophie is right??? Lastly, Sweetie gave me the tiny little Valentine’s rabbit because I always thought she was so cute and antique looking.?? (Plus I needed a token heart for my Valentine painting).

Guess who started full on officially crawling in the last several days????? That means that Troy started crawling at 7 months but a corrected 5 months (almost 6).?? Tori crawled at 5 months but a corrected 3 months (almost 4).?? What is it with these preemies??? My mother in love told me that Jim crawled at 5 months as well.?? Guess I know where they got their strength of will from!?? :)?? Troy also pulled up onto his knees yesterday because he wanted to see what was in his toy basket.?? Won’t be long before he attempts pulling to a stand I think.?????? I better get more crawling pictures in quick before he is crawling too fast for me to keep up with.

Also wanted to report that his food allergy test came?? back ALL NORMAL!!!?? Yeah!!!!?? That means that reflux is indeed the issue and not a food allergy.?? I am glad because he will eventually outgrow the reflux.

Won’t be having a nice romantic date with my honey this Valentine’s.?? He is picking up Chili’s for us though so I don’t have to cook.
