Hybrid Baby

So, my dad calls me the new 2008 Hybrid Baby, because I apparently need less fuel than most babies. The lactation specialist called it a nursing strike, and at first the doctor called it a developmental stage . . . but basically I am not that into eating. After over three weeks of it, mom took me back to the Doctor and I was sent over to Children's Hospital for some x-ray's on my stomach (not my favorite). The good new is the x-rays came back fine, but we still are not sure why I don't like to eat very often. But since I seem to be okay in all other areas, I guess I am getting enough . . . so hence the name Hybrid Baby . . . more miles to the gallon than those other milk guzzlers.

We had lunch with Mom's old pal Ruth and my new friend Nate!

Our First Family Photo with Trevor

2008 was a challenging and amazing year, with Trevor Jalen Rose coming 3 months early and spending 80 days in the NICU at Mary Birch Hospital in February, then two months of quarentine at home with Trevor (staying away from all the potential germs), to Trevor's first's of learning how to eat without choking, rolling over and sitting up by himself. We have had many ups and downs, but with the prayers and support from our family and friends we have made it through and are thankful for our healthy baby boy. We have been so encouraged by how God has shown His love through you. THANK YOU!!!

Fun Facts about Trevor's Start in Life

-For the first month of life, Trevor's diaper was the size of your palm (and it was still too big)!
-His feet were the size of the top half of your thumb
-His fingers were the width of a toothpick
-The first time Tina fed him her milk, she had to use an small dropper
-Until Trevor is 2 years old, the doctor's will evaluate him according to his "corrected" or "adjusted" age. So, since he was born 12 weeks early, he is measured as a baby three months younger than his birth age. (i.e.: on February 16th he will be one year old, but his corrected age is 9 months).
