The Journey of James Weston

Monday, February 28th, 2022 Lots of visitors! Vicky, Vicki, Debbie, and Natalie stopped by to meet James! He loves seeing new faces and is very social. He received so many cute outfits, stuffed animals, toys, and books that will be great for his development. James appreciates it very much! ❤️ James refused to take a nap all day. He had bad FOMO (fear of missing out)! James eventually napped at 4:15pm and it was only for an hour. Then we put him to bed at 9pm. Dad's flight got in around midnight and like typical Dad fashion he wanted to see if James was awake. Well James peeked opened his eyes when hearing his voice. He was now awake! With Dad off to bed upstairs Mom had the amazing opportunity to try and get James back to sleep until 2am. 🤣 Tomorrow we head back to Tampa! 🚗 *These posted have been delayed a week to not advertise an empty home. 😆 We'll catch up. P.S. Do you follow James' journey? James would love to read an email from you. His email is JamesWestonAbramowi...

Sunday, February 27th, 2022 Today is the 9 year anniversary of Pop-pop's passing (Mom's Dad).🌙 Aunt Robin held James for a 2 hour long nap. Afterwards Tommy tried to make James jealous by getting close to Aunt Robin. Sneaky dog! In the afternoon, James met Beverly who was nice enough to stop by to say Hello 👋 and bring James some fun things.  Juju and James wore their matching Rolling Stone tees and had a photoshoot. James loved the tickles! In one of the videos below, Champ made a new friend. James was obsessed with the dogs. In the other video, James had another speaking valve (PMV) trial. Juju bought James a new bouncer at Buy Buy Baby, so that he could get practice standing. It is amazing! Tommy avoided eye contact as usual. P.S. Do you follow James' journey?

Saturday, February 26th, 2022 James had visits with family and friends. Aunt Taylor got selfies and cuddles, Uncle Mark and Lauren met James for the first time. Uncle Mark gave James a new puppet that he loved. Cathy met James for the second time. We received beautiful flowers and chocolate covered fruit from James' Great Aunt Irene as well as some adorable outfits and toys from Natalie. In the last two weeks we've noticed big changes in James becoming more interactive and playful! In the evening, Mom did a bath and trach care with Juju and Aunt Robin. We brought the massage table out into the kitchen. James is really good for Mom when Dad isn't there to get him wound up. He holds really still since it's pretty tricky holding in the trach, while cleaning his neck, and putting new trach ties on. At this point, she feels very confident in doing it by herself. Juju and Aunt Robin are there as spotters, helping James sit up at the end to get the ties on and in case there is...

Friday, February 25th, 2022 Dad in left in the wee morning for the airport. 🛫❄️🎿  We moved the sleeping arrangement for Mom and James into the family room which is right next to the kitchen. It just made more sense to have his Pack N Play there since this is where we would mainly be gathering. Two nights in a row James has peed through his diaper and soaked the bed sheets. That is the reason for the multiple outfits changes. During the day James enjoyed a puppet show from Juju, teethed on a frozen wine glass, and got used to his new surroundings. In the evening, James had visits with friends and family.  P.S. Do you follow James' journey? James would love to read an email from you. His email is JamesWestonAbramowitz@gmail.com.
