Hip Hop Fikky

The kids have made up a dance that ends like this. Fik is so cute that I can barely take it. Too much Hip Hop Harry I guess...

The kids...

Since I don't seem to have much time for updates lately, I thought I'd update you with photos.

When the kids were "napping" the other day I found Mr. Felix doing this instead...

Miss Macy napping with her Ethiopian flag. Later I found out there had been a spider on her blanket so she refused to use it and used the flag instead.

Doesn't she just get prettier by the day? I know I'm biased and all being her mom, but I think she is such a pretty girl.

We've been having some talks lately as she's mentioned wanting pink skin and blond hair. Just wait until she realizes just what a knock-out she really is!

Felix the cat

Felix's thyroid seems to be improving with the medication he's been on. His T4 is now at 11.3 (up from 1.45) and his TSH is at 8.03 (down from 18.36). I actually have ZERO idea what that means, but the doctor seemed pleased. We increased this thryroid meds slightly and will test him yet again (because the last blood draw was such a pleasure!) in 2 weeks.

Although the last doctor was sure that this would be a life-long condition, our current doctor was very positive that he could outgrow this after as little as a year of being in the US and getting proper nutrition.

And just for kicks... I had to post this photo. These are a pair of the pants that we brought to Ethiopia with us at the end of April. We had to roll them up at the time. Think he's grown a little???


He looks like he's about to go wading in a creek. Thank goodness Christmas is coming up. I hope Santa brings him some new pants!

(Note to self: Must moisturize your son and clean the bottom of your fridge more often!)
