• Eric is becoming his own little boy with quite a funny personality. He is still working on talking which I know is frustrating for him at times. He is adventurous and loves to have fun. His smiles and laughter are intoxicating. He adores Matthew and imitates all of what he does. We'll soon see what he thinks of being both a little and big brother!
August 2008
• It's been awhile since I've given an update on Eric! It's not that he hasn't been busy! He started walking about 2 weeks after his first birthday. He has been developing quite a lovable personality. He is still a smiley and happy kid but also isn't shy about letting you know what he wants.
March 2008
• In three short days Eric learned to sit up on his own, he began to crawl and he is now pulling-up on things to stand! He is keeping us on our toes although, Matthew is quick to jump in and "sound the alarm" if he is doing something or has something he souldn't!
February 2008
• Eric is 8 months old! He learned to sit up at Christmas and now he spins around in circles to see different things and reach what he wants. He also scoots backwards on his belly and often gets himself stuck in tight spaces! He'll be crawling and on the move very soon! Then let the fun begin :)

• Eric is alomost 6 months old! Where has the time gone? At his Drs appt he weighed 17lbs, 2ozs and is 27 inches long. He can now stand up holding onto something! He doesn't pull himself up of course but once placed there he'll hang on and check things out from this new vantage point. Way to go Eric!
November 2007
• Eric has been busy the past couple of months. He has grown quite a bit. At 4 months he weighs 15lbs, 12ozs and is over 26 inches long. At 3.5 months he tasted cereal and rolled over for the first time! He is still easy going and so happy!
August 2007
• August 3, 2007 ~ The past few weeks have been a bit difficult. Eric had not been keeping much food down & he lost a lot of weight. We made several trips to the Drs and had several tests done. The poor little guy had an ultrasound, bloodwork and an Upper GI. It turned out he had pyloric stenosis, which required surgery. So, off we went to the E.R. to see a Pediatric Surgeon. The surgery went smoothly and he is back home recovering very well. He was so great through it all and we are SO happy he is better!
July 2007
• Eric is now five weeks old! He is doing great. He eats well and sleeps well too. He has not reached his big brother's birth weight yet but he is growing quickly. He has already had two haircuts, been to a baseball game and travelled to PA & VA. He smiles when he is talked to and is as sweet as can be!
