October 22nd "Robert"

This little guy doesn't have a "name" yet for featured postings, so I took the liberty to give him one. I picked "Robert". Robert is my older brother's name, and it also happens to mean "bright fame". This little guy looks like a Robert to me and sure enough he's gonna be destined for some bright fame.

Robert is 15 months old. That's the same age Bates came home at!

Such a fun age, so much still a baby and an active toddler all in one!

Robert has an abnormal brain MRI in December of 2010, when he was 5 months old. He recently had an updated MRI in August of this year and the findings were normal.

Normal, do you hear that, NORMAL. As in his brain is fine!

As crazy as this may seem for you, this is the exact thing that happened with our Bates. He had an abnormal brain MRI when he was about 6 months old and then the follow up MRI at about a year showed that his brain was normal. Fine, nothing to note. God is good, folks! Our doctor told us a baby's brain can do some self correcting, I just laughed cause I'm pretty sure I know the One who had a hand in that correcting.

Robert is on target developmentally. Hello, people, why is this boy on the waiting child list?! Why why why! He's story is so much like my Bates' and while I haven't seen his entire file and am not a doctor, I can say my Bates is practically perfect in every way!

Little Robert in his pirate shirt needs a backyard to run and play in, he needs a momma to laugh at his silly faces, and a daddy to wrestle with him in the floor! 

Oh and an added bonus, his file has some video in it!!!
