6 Month Old Girl!

Finally getting a moment to update Scarlett's blog. It's been a wild and exhausting 3 weeks and I appreciate all the prayers and support you've sent for Evan. He is finally off the ventilator and breathing on his own. Obviously he's very weak from the 10-day induced coma and from fighting pneumonia, sepsis, c-diff, etc...But, he is alive and we are relieved, grateful, and humbled by any small improvement. I went down to LA to be with him for 10 days with a quick trip home in the middle to see Scarlett and Jeremy for Halloween. We are hoping that Evan will be transferred out of ICU sometime in the next week and hopefully home from the hospital by Thanksgiving. Please keep him in your nightly prayers as he has endured so much and we ask for a smooth recovery and a thriving 2011 for him.

While I was gone, my little lady began moving across the floor! We can't call it crawling yet since her hands and feet are not in sync, but she manages to scoot across the entire room! Her #1 target is of course HAZEL. When we say Hazel's name, Scarlett looks around the room for her. Too cute! Scarlett is also eating like a champ, hence the fact that she's gained 2.5 pounds in 6 wks! She'll eat anything I put in front of her (sometimes with some funny faces of disgust, nevertheless, she still eats it!). We saw her pediatrician today for her 6 month  check up-- 72% height &  67 % weight. She's weighing in at a solid 16 lbs 15 oz! :)

I will finally return to work on Mon Nov 15th. I'm ready to meet my new class and see what life as a working mom will be like.  Jeremy and I will be spending Thanksgiving and Christmas in Orange County which I'm thrilled about. Luckily, all of the Kings will be in San Diego for Christmas too since Tay will be 9+ months pregnant by then, so we'll get to see everyone for Christmas Day as well.

Last but not least, last weekend Scarlett FINALLY met her great-grandma Isabel (for whom her middle name is for) at Jeremy's cousin Rebekah's baby shower. It was love at first sight! Scarlett LOVED her G.G. Isabel of course!
