86 degrees? Must be February!

As we melt away the winter...

Ori continues to confound w/ his treatment. After being weaker than expected for 4 weeks while waiting to get to that all-day chemo appointment, the past two weeks he has been healthier than expected and has avoided two anticipated blood transfusions.

And his hair has held on (barely), defying the predictions of complete baldness. There's that thicket of hair he was born with paying off! :)

Here's what those little locks looked like around Christmas time...

Baking with Mamma


Playing with Cousin "Mack" and Cousin "Tay"


Reading with "G. Nana"


Laughing with Grammy Becca


Showing off the wild, wooly wackiness that is a (relatively) full head of hair


Fast-foward to today where the hair has nearly left him bare...



Reading with his favorite elephant (thanks Aunti April and Uncle Tim!)
BTW - Notice the elephant's band-aid from where Ori drew his blood? ;-)


Eating lunch in his office, just like Dadda at work


And he's still got the haberdashin' fashion down pat!





And lest you think we'd forget, there's another young lad we've taken photos of lately...


Already exerting his independence - a thumb-sucker,
unlike his big brother with the two upside-down fingers


Drooling just like his big brother did at this age, though!


Such a sweet, impromptu photo.
Ori guiding Andon's hand to help him grab the toy.
He's such a great big brother!


Bedtime stories with Dadda

Ori is as adorable as ever. Love the elephant photo! Glad to see that Andon is every bit the chunk that his brother was. Kaye must have guns after carrying those two!
