Fariss Family Honey

This is my aunt's website.  She and her husband have been harvesting honey from bee hives, since they married years ago.  They make some wonderful stuff!!  In addition to, well, honey, they make candles, lip gloss, and other things.  Greg also volunteers by running a beginners beekeeper class where they live in North Carolina.  It is my understanding that they are always full in rapid time. If you are interested in anything that they make, contact Susan on the information page.  Check them out!!

First Ear Infection

The title says it all.  Walter has his first ear infection.  We are on pink bubble gum medicine (amoxicillin.)  I am pretty sure that I took a truckload of this stuff when I was little.  I do know that an ear infection is like a rite of passage into childhood.  Grace did not have her first until 11 months old.  Lamar was gone then too:)  At least we are LOVING the flavor of the pink bubble gum.  Nine more days of it to go.  

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday to Lamar. He is 29 years old today. We are sorry that you are not with us to celebrate. We will have cake when you return. We love you!!!

Date Set!

Dad and Janet have set the date.  More info to follow soon!  

Great Job Brother!!

Walter slept...and slept and slept last night.  8:30 PM-6:15 AM.  OH MY GOODNESS.  Now that I opened my big mouth, that will stop.

He is also officially sitting up on his own.  He is getting so big so fast.  

Special Boy

Walter and I attended his gastric specialist appointment on the Monday after Easter, with the greatly needed help from Lindsay.  After the exam, he determined that Walter is suffering from a milk protein allergy.  We also have to eliminate soy and whey from his diet as well.  Dr. Tuft did say that MOST babies grow out of it by the first year.  Here is hoping right.  He is currently on a prescription only formula...amino acid based.  How scrumptious does that sound??  And how expensive?  Thank goodness for our Tricare insurance.  I thought that I would NEVER say that, but it covered all of the cost.  So, it actually turns out to be the cheapest formula that I can buy.  

On a shocking note, Walter gained almost two pounds in three weeks.  He weighed in at 18 pounds 12 ounces.  He is still 26 inches long.  GOOD GRIEF KIDDO!!
