Kimball is three months old now! His crying has decreased, he keeps talking more and more, and loves to "sing" along when I sing "Old MacKimball Had a Farm" or "The Wheels on the Bus". He hasn't rolled yet, but pivots about his head like a hand on a clock. Oh yeah, and he is starting to sleep better too, with only one waking per night! This week Kimball had his 8th dose of chemotherapy. Next week he is going to start a schedule of chemo only once a week instead of twice (same amount, but all at once), because the doctors seem to think that it is working! The tumor doesn't really seem smaller to me, but it feels a lot softer, and it definitely hasn't gotten bigger. Last week the doctor clarified that it technically is a kind of cancer, because of the uncontrolled growth, but we're still not too scared. It's definitely non-malignant. But it is kind of sad that Kimball is the youngest child in the oncology clinic right now. At least he won't remember it. And the nurses love him!

I'm glad to hear the tumor is getting softer. Hopefully, it will start shrinking soon too. His smile is so cute!

That sounds so cute/funny! He definitely seems talkative from the video you posted. You should post a singing video sometime!
He is just the most beautiful baby boy I have ever seen!
I am so happy that the treatments are working. He is so darn cute!
Isn't he just precious?!! We can see his special spirit shining through his bright eyes!
We're grateful for his progress and growth. We know he'll recover all from all this!
As we've heard references today in Conference to those who have to overcome great trials and challenges, we've thought of Kimball. He's a wonderful example to us and will help us to endure all and not give up!
We love you all so much!

He is getting SO big! Isn't it nice that he's sleeping more through the night? I remember the first few months with Jonathan and I was thrilled when he started to sleep more. He looks like a little man. As we drove through Georgia there was a town called "Kimball" and I couldn't help but think of all you guys. Many hugs & love!
