Dylan Reece Upchurch was born on October 1, 2008 at 24 weeks, 16 weeks premature. Dylan weighed 1 pound 5 ounces and was 11 inches long. He has finally made it to thirteen pounds and 24 1/2 inches long.
Courtney and I went to Greenwood today. We were excited to visit with Les, Paige, Beth and Dylan. Courtney couldn’t wait to give them their “happies”. It always takes Beth a little while to warm-up! After opening their gifts, Beth was ready to play! The first game to play is Beth’s favorite - Candy land. Beth won 3 games and Courtney won only two. Now, Beth was in charge!! Beth made a snack all by herself. Beth and Courtney had homemade snow cones - bubble gum flavor. Yummy! Next, it was time to play with the Groovy Girls. Beth instructed Courtney how to dress each doll. It is so much fun watching her boss Courtney! Then the girls played games on the Iphone!
Little Dylan has to be the sweetest baby I have ever been around! He is the happiest little baby. He enjoyed his lunch, nap and playtime. He played with his keys almost the entire time. Paige thinks he has a tooth trying to come in. He would gum the keys and talk to himself. He will wear his glasses for short periods of time. When he wants them off he will snatch them off before you know it.
Paige explained Dylan’s doctor visits. They go to Jackson ever week in July. Paige and Les have been through so much and have witnessed numerous new friends that lost their preemies. Paige has met some truly amazing new lifetime friends. We all pray Dylan will continue to improve!
