Westin Thomas – Costello Baby

So today Mommy and Daddy were making me stand against a wall.  Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?  It is part of my physical therapy homework.  It makes me balance so I don’t fall to the side or fall forward and it helps build up my leg muscles for walking.  Daddy was banging a balloon on […]

Mommy and Daddy like to put together a picture page each year to send out with their Christmas cards.  I looked at their old ones and I am so jealous.  In 2010 they went to cool places like Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Thailand, Greece, Sweden, Aruba, Switzerland, and the Cayman Islands.  They must not like […]

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not even Westin was stirring just like my spouse; Westin’s G-tube food was prepped and blended with care, In hopes that someday no G-tube would be there. Westin was all nestled and snug in his bed, While thoughts of reduced fluid rang in his head; […]

Merry Christmas! This is my 2nd year in charge of the Christmas letter and I am already dropping the ball getting it out late. Ooops! My 2013 New Year’s Resolution will be to try to get the letter done in 2013 instead of 2014! I have been outside the mother ship for almost 2 years […]

Aloha!  That is how they say “Hello” in Hawaii. I am 14 months old now and just got to take my first trip to Hawaii.  It was a long flight and I was not very happy about it.  I voiced my opinion during the flight – loud and clear.  After that long flight, I found out […]

I have a lot of little oddities… one of them is I do not like it when someone says “Good Job” or if someone claps for me.  If they do, I break into tears.  See the link to the video below.  I was 14 months old in this video.  The interesting thing is other mommies of […]

Hi there. Well, I am now two weeks into this newfangled diet my mommy came up with.  She is still making up quite a ruckus every day using her fancy Vitamix blender.  My blend today consisted of baby oatmeal, vegetable beef pilaf, pear, raspberry, spinach, potatoes, prunes, apples, apricots, blueberries, whole milk, coconut milk, olive […]

My Mommy got this bright idea that instead of feeding me Elecare hypoallergenic formula, she would feed me real food.  Huh?  How is real food going to go through my tiny feeding tube?  Mommy bought the granddaddy of blenders – The Vitamix.  She says food will get chopped up enough in the blender to go through […]

Since birth, I have not been a good sleeper.  I just am not happy about being in a dark room all by myself.  And sleeping is very overrated.  Mommy and Daddy have tried EVERYTHING to get me to sleep.  They even made me do a sleep study at the hospital.  I refuse to sleep in […]
