Yea, I'm 59 weeks old today!
Masinja is crawling now. He isn't quite up on all fours yet, but he is low-crawling. He is getting faster with each passing day, too.
Masinja seems to be adapting to his new surroundings pretty well also. He is sleeping in his Pack-n-Play for the time being as we await the rest of our belongings. He isn't used to having to be all bundled up, but he doesn't seem to mind his "snowsuit" all that much.
He will get his forth series of RSV shots next week and hopefully go to his new doctor for the first time within the next week or so for his 12 month checkup.
That's all for now.
Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 11 - 17 February 2008
Yea, I'm 58 weeks old!
Masinja had to go to the doctor this week. He was sneezing and coughing a lot, so T.M.M. thought it was best to take him and get him checked out. It was a good thing we did take him, because he had sinusitis and a double-ear infection. He is on antibiotics for 10 days now.
Masinja got to go for a very long car ride this week as we made the move to Nebraska. He was a trooper though. He slept most of the way and didn't complain too much when he was awake.
That's all for now.

Weekly Update -- 4 - 10 February 2008
Yea, I'm 57 weeks old!
Masinja has had a pretty uneventful week for the most part. He has been quite cranky because he has been missing his Daddy. Masinja has talked to his Daddy every day and he has even "typed" him messages on the computer sometimes. We have been very busy packing with the help of Aunt CC. We will be making the big move next weekend. We all have mixed emotions about moving. We have made some great friends in Shreveport as well as added members to our extended family.
We intend to continue the blog so that all of our loved ones can keep up with Masinja's progress from afar.
That's all for now.

Yea, I'm 56 weeks old!
Masinja had his third series of RSV shots this week. He is getting to be a pro. He still isn't very fond of them, but who could blame him!
Masinja now has four teeth, two on top and two on the bottom. They have been coming in pretty slowly but they are very visible now. He likes to chew on everything just to hear them make noise. His favorite "teething toy" is the coffee table. For some reason he loves to chew on the legs! We are trying to break him of this habit, but it isn't very easy.
T.M. left this week to make the move to Nebraska. He is getting things ready for Masinja and I to join him in a week or two. He got a house in base housing and is just biding time until he can come back and get us.
That's all for now.

Yea, I'm 55 weeks old!
Masinja's birthday party was held on Monday. He had a lot of fun visiting with everyone and he especially had fun opening his presents! He wasn't able to eat any of his birthday cake, because he hasn't quite made it to table food yet, but T.M.M. gave him some cereal and applesauce.
Masinja got his glasses today. He doesn't quite know what to make of them yet though. When they were first put on his face, he started looking all around. They obviously made quite a difference for him. He kept them on for about an hour, but he needed a break after that.
Masinja also went to PT for a follow up visit this week. He is still on track and making progress. He even pulled himself up to a standing position! This was his last PT session here as the big move is fast approaching.
That's all for now.

Yea, I'm 1 year old!
Masinja's first birthday was obviously 20 Jan. His party is set for the 21st, and we should have a good turnout. We got him a cake with a penguin on it, so it fits his "angry penguin" personality perfectly. We also got him a bunch of balloons (helium rocks!) and "1st Birthday" themed party products.
Masinja continues to make steady progress. His rash has seemed to clear up and we're wondering if he's having food allergy type reactions. We're keeping track of what we're feeding him, so I guess we'll see what happens.
Last, but not least, we should be picking up his glasses this week. Wish us luck.

Weekly Update -- 7 - 13 January 2008
Yea, I'm 53 weeks old.
Well, we're closing in on Masinja's first birthday. We measured him this week, and he's about 28.5 in long! He's been growing like a weed lately, so he will definitely be caught up to all the other kids his age.
We're planning Masinja's birthday party for 21 January. Our church is booked for the 20th, and a few key attendees have to work that Sunday, so we'll celebrate with cake and friends the day after.
Masinja went to the doc this week. He has contact dermatitis on his chest, and the poor guy is just itching away. He also had the start of an ear infection, so the doc prescribed him some antibiotics and some hydracortisone cream. The rash is starting to come around, but I've experienced the contact dermatitis, and I hurt just watching him itch.

We also got his phenobarb levels, and they're fine. We're looking at the possibility of weening him off it as he hasn't had any seizures since Aug 07. He's scheduled for a CAT scan and follow-up with the neurosurgeon, so we'll have more info later.
Last, but not least, Masinja went to the eye doctor this week. He's been prescribed corrective lenses, and T.M.M. and I have been prescribed fear, because we have no idea how we're going to keep glasses on a little boy who is as active as Masinja is.
That's all for now.
Peace,
T.M.
