Lilah is growing up so fast. I know this statement is so cliche but it is sooo true. She has this cutest little jack-o-lantern grin with her little lone tooth. She now has tooth number 2 coming in and I am a little sad to see her cute little lone tooth become two.
She is now about 18 pounds but still so little. She will stand up every chance she gets and can stand without holding on now. She is getting very good at emptying a cupboard or drawer in about 1.2 seconds and can scout out any scrap of food that exists in a 5 mile radius. In fact, last week she was nawing on something and when I pried it out of her mouth I was mortified to find a piece of hotdog. Not so bad because she can eat hotdogs now, but, well, uuumm, we had them 5 days ago. I know you are thinking, how could a hotdog be hanging around on your kitchen floor for so long. I guess I am still asking the same question!

The one tooth look is so cute, but I love the "dos dientes" look even more. (That's the temporary nickname I always give my kids when they have those two cute teeth poking up. It's Spanish for "two teeth" just in case any one wonders).....!
We need your help
Last night, at 9:58 pm Benjamin Wayne Hamer, my nephew was born. Seven pounds, one ounce and twenty and a half inches long. He is third child of my sister Angela and her husband Cody.
This morning, during some routine tests, the staff at McKay Dee Hospital discovered a heart murmer. Although murmers are fairly common in newborns they did some further research and what they discovered is a disaster. Within an hour Ben had been life flighted to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City.
Although all of the problems little Ben has have not yet been identified, at this point they are already certain there are blocked arteries, a hole in his heart and an underlying heart disease.
It is certain that Ben will have at LEAST one heart surgery but it is likely that there will be more to come.
My family has spent the day at the hospital. My heart broke as I saw little Ben lying on an exam table having hours worth of EKGs, ultrasounds and many many other tests. He is an angel baby and he took it all like a champ. I didn't hear him cry even once although he is surely scared after all he has been through in his first 24 hours on earth.
Cody and Angela are going to be living at the hospital for the next couple of weeks to months, at least.
I am planning on setting up a fund raiser in order to help cover copays, food, gas, as well as the loss of money as Cody takes time off work.
ANYTHING that ANYONE can do or think of will be GREATLY appreciated.
We are also organizing a group fast for anyone who is willing.
Thank you so much for your time,
Please keep the Hamer family in your prayers
