Jeff, JD and Spongebob
Jeff's been doing pretty well. His blood has been looking acceptable and he's been completely weaned from the steroids. His energy level is almost back to normal (my opinion - I'm not sure where he thinks he is on that topic), and he continues to work 20 hours a week. We'll go back to Hershey at the end of the month, and with any luck, the doctor will give the go-ahead to go back to work full-time.
Since I would much rather write about things other than Jeff's health, I thought I would fill you in on what JD has been up to. Have I mentioned that I have the cutest baby in the world? Anyway, he's learning lots of new words, and last week he actually pointed at me and said, "Mama." We've also discovered that if we point to Spongebob and ask JD "who's that?", he says, "Spongebob"....well, his version of the word, and it's actually pretty recognizable.
JD loves playing with cars and tools. He walks around the garage for 20 minutes at a time, carrying a wrench and "fixing" stuff. I guess in that respect, he's taking after Jeff. He prefers the 4-wheeler to the tractor, loves playing in the sandbox, and fills up his Dad's cart with rocks. He already loves the water and has no problem sticking his head directly under the garden hose. I'll post some new pictures soon.

Speaking of Vampires
The Twilight series of books (and now movies) has caused quite the stir and re-ignited readers' interest in vampire literature. Just check out the book selection at Wal-Mart, and you'll find a bunch of vampire stuff that wasn't there a year ago. The four books, written by Stephanie Meyer, were very enjoyable, and I'd recommend them to any female reader who is looking for a entertaining read.
Anyway, that being said, I have my own vampire story. JD has been refusing to lay down while I change his diaper. So, he stands on the changing table, while I struggle to fasten the diaper in some manner that is still effective enough to hold the poop inside. While he stands there, he wraps his little arms around my neck in the best feeling hug...until his little teeth sink into my neck.
Right now, I have red bite marks on my neck from where he bit me this morning and refused to let go. The more I protested, the harder he clenched his teeth and finally, I had to give his little butt a smack so that he would let go. This, of course, hurt his feelings, and even though I'm the one who has bite marks on my neck, I felt horrible for making him cry. But, this wasn't the first time he's bitten me and probably won't be the last, so I'm going to have to figure out a better way to get him to let go...or stop biting me completely.
