Another Bober boy!

Cade now has a cousin and Sean and I are an uncle and aunt for the first time. Phillip William Bober was born on Monday Sept 22 at 7:05 am and weighed 6lbs 140z and was 21" long. We went to visit Phillip, Andy and Jill at the hospital tonight. It was great to see all three and Phillip is definitely a cutie. He felt light as a feather when you're used to carrying around a baby almost twice his weight.

The cousins first meeting- Phillip was crying so Cade had to pout
Other good news: Cade had his head ultrasound today and a follow up with the neuro nurse practitioner. His ventricles have shrunk considerably while his head size increased. This means more room for brains :) Also, they changed his shunt settings so that he doesn't lose too much brain fluid. This is really great news. The shunt is doing it's job. She was also happy with his muscle control. The only thing we need to work on is getting him to lay on his left side. He favors his right so much that his head is a little misshapen. So, that will be my project. We see her again in 6 weeks.
