And, in the 11th Month, God said...

"Let there be mobility!" This past week, Anna started crawling pretty good. Fortunately, she is not too fast yet, but the amount of effort needed to keep up with her is growing exponentially.

Anna is having a little trouble sleeping. The past 2 days, when we put her down for her nap, she has fallen asleep sitting up in her crib. Her little head bobs up and down and sometimes bangs the side of the crib. However, being able to sleep sitting up is a good skill to develop for when she has to take some of those less-than-useful "core" requirements in college.

Jo's platelets are at 51,000. She really hasn't had any major changes to her counts in several weeks. In just over a week, Jo has her first checkup at the NIH. We are very excited to go back and touch base with the doctors and see what they think of Jo's improvement so far.

So happy Jo is holding her own and I am sure thats making life good for you as well Tim.
You are both loved and missed here in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Hi, Jo, Tim and Anna!

Hope you had a great FIRST EVER MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Glad you are doing better!

Perhaps roller skates will help you keep up with baby Anna! The exercise is good too!!!

With Anna's mobility she will soon be able to be "Mommy's" helper. Just envision how proud she will be!
As Tim's mother was telling me in the Springs that she is just the "best" baby.
I'd like to see a couple of 3 generation pictures on the site - 1 of the Szymanski family and one of the Thompson family. A combination Thompson-Szymanski family picture would also be nice.
Jo - only Mothers know that every day is Mother's day and we should be celebrated every day instead of just one single day; however, your very 1st official "Mothers Day" is a day that you will always remember.
I am anxiously awaiting news on your trip to NIH and getting a follow-up on your progress!
Tell Rita HI for me!
