ANDREW GENE FROST : PRICELESS (or is it PRICEY)
YES, we LOVE our Drew baby to pieces..... but he is really racking up the bills!! And he is only about 4 months old!! At this pace he might just be our MILLION DOLLAR BABY! Seriously, when he turns 16 he'll probably tell us he NEEDS a BMW!! Good luck with that Drew baby.

OH MY GOSH could he be cuter????? Seriously he is priceless. He wins the cutest baby award!! I am sorry you have to do all those things. Hopefully he'll get cheaper as he gets older, HaHa!!
oh my gosh, could the last picture get any cuter? Both of the boys are getting soooo big! Isaac looks like a little man and drew baby has grown out of infant stage and into cute little baby stage. He is getting so adorable....and seriously pricey and priceless at the same time.
Baby Drew is priceless--what a cutie!! We can't wait to see the boys. Thanks for all you are doing for our little grand boys--you are GREAT parents. Love you guys
He is adorable, and definitely worth all that money! I loved this post, it is very clever!
By the way, I think Drew looks just like Carolee. He is adorable!
Your boys are so adorable. I can't believe how big Isaac is, I haven't seen him for awhile. Both Hudson and Gracie had torticolis so I know a lot about it. Neither had to have a helmet but we did lots and lots of physical therapy. As a mother, I was quite emotional with the diagnosis, therapy, doctors, specialists and everything. Please feel free to call if you need to talk to someone. Hang in there, it's worth it. Also, they were both fussy babies and in my opinion I think the colic got better as the torticollis did. Maybe it's painful and that's why they are fussy? You know how it feels when you wake up with a sore neck, I picture that for them nonstop. That's just my theory.
I hope Jared's new job is raking in the bucks to pay for this expensive kid. I'm concerned that our baby will also have expensive medical issues, since I had all kinds of things wrong with me as a baby.
Good find on the formula, almost any price is worth it if it reduces colic.
Hey, Heather Call from Utah. Found your blog off of Sarah's. Drew is definitely a cute little boy. I do have to laugh a little though because Madelyn had Torticollis when she was that old also. They had us do physical therapy and she turned out just fine after a couple of months. Hers might not be as bad as Drew's. They also thought that we would be doing the helmet thing if it didn't start to shape again. (Physical therapy really isn't cheap). And well you know that we did a helmet with Spencer. He was only in it for 3 months, didn't work like I wanted it to, but what are you going to do. At least they are putting Drew in one now versus when he is 10 months old. Good luck with it all. Does your insurance pay for the helmet at all? Hopefully they will see it as medically necessary and help out some.
Hope that you are enjoying Vegas, I believe that is where you ended up. (If I am correct I will admit that I am jealous!)
I just saw this and didn't know your little boy has torticollis. Aaron went through physical therapy as well and turned out great. Good to see your family doing well.
Hi I'm writting from Jones and Bartlett Publishers. I am working on an educational text book titled "Counseling the Nursing Mother: A Lactation Consultant's guide" and was wondering if you would be willing to share some of the photos of you son and his condition for publication in this book. Please contact me at scebulski@jbpub (and delete this comment).
Many thanks,
