Another Update

I really have no idea what to title these blog entries.
Not too much is happening here in the Divelbiss household. Matt has started law school and is loving it. He comes home and always has a new case study to share. Right now I'm staying home with Joseph and doing the mommy thing :) He is getting a little more efficient at scooting... but only when he really wants something out of reach. We recently got his blood work done again. He liver enzymes are still elevated and that worries us. They are not nearly as elevated as they were a few months ago, but they are still not normal yet. What no one can answer for us is that with all the problems he had with his liver... will his levels ever be normal? We keep getting this blood test done but no one can seem to tell me what we are aiming for other than lower. I still can't start him on baby food (because of the sugar) and the problems it might cause for his liver. We have an appointment on the 14th up at Children's Memorial Hospital, so please keep us in your prayers.

Cute pictures

These pictures are a few weeks old but I'm now just getting around to posting them (sorry).


Joseph's first banana!



This is Joseph sitting up all by himself, with of course his bed head (he gets that from his father)

Updates

Well I thought it was time for an update. Joseph is now trying to crawl... and by crawl I mean he gets up on his hands and knees and launches himself forward :) It is really cute. He is also just starting on rice cereal (we had to wait due to his liver problems). Of course more of it is ending up on his face and bib, not really sure how much is ending up in his stomach. Generally he seems more fascinated with the bowl full of the rice cereal than the fact that mommy is trying to feed him. There isn't much of an update on his liver. We can't see the specialist out here because they are not covered by our insurance. We are switching to Chicago Kent's student insurance in 2 weeks and we will start our visits again then.
Matt is getting ready for law school (first day is the 16th). He ordered his books and is anxiously awaiting his first day. He is excited to start, but hesitant of the unknown that lies ahead. I am trying to absorb all the time we have together because I know that it will disappear in a few weeks.
We are loving Illinois, but we could live with a little less humidity. I'm a little scared to see our AC bill :( However, we love all the green. Matt is really looking forward to a midwestern Fall! He hasn't seen one since his mission.
Well that is about all that is going on in our lives right now. I will try to post more pictures soon. For some reason this blog website is being difficult and not letting me post pictures.
