Hello everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since the last update. Nicholas continues to do really well. He and mom came to Austin to visit me this week it was really great having them here.

Nick is learning to talk, this whole week he has been working on his B's. He also looked straight at my mom's cat and said "itty" We had been working on that one.

Nick is starting to do really well off of his oxygen. His doctor said he can be off it all day if we want and just to put him back on oxygen at night. He is so cute without all that stuff on his face. I think there are a few pictures of him without anything on his face be sure to take a look at them as they are really cute.

We haven't been making any progress at all on him eating and Terah and I are getting very frustrated. He has no difficulty swallowing now if we can ever get food is his mouth. Unfortunately though he clamps his lips shut anytime food is anywhere near him.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support.

Love,
Alex, Terah, and Nicholas
