Our family's journey through life

A few weeks ago I thought it would be fun to get in the Halloween spirit and make ghost hands with Owain for all of his wonderful grandparents. Being a pre-school teacher this is something I do every year my kids. Well Owian didn't really know what to think? He wasn't really into it at all. Maybe next year?





I think they turned out pretty darn cute!


Tomorrow is a very busy day. In the morning Owain has a follow up with his amazing surgeon Dr.Zigman and xrays plus Owain will be getting his RSV shots.

Then after our morning at the doctors my best friend Erin who is also Owain's god mother will be flying in from Arizona. I am so excited this will be Owain's first time meeting his Aunt Erin!

Our day is not done yet...Owain's grandma Payette is going to be picking us up and we are going to get all dressed up for Halloween! I am not sure what the plan is but Owain will be in a really cute costume so stay tuned....

I am so excited Kaden won the bedroom set! congratulation's Kaden!
Thank you to everyone who voted for Kaden!

You only have until October 29 to make your vote. If you haven't already please vote for Kaden!

As some of you already know if you read this post I entered Owain in a sleepy angel contest with 5 minutes for mom. Well they have now picked their top twenty and now we get to vote. Owain didn't make it in the top twenty but our friend Kaden did! I can see why they picked his picture it is so sweet it brought tears to my eyes.I really think Kaden should win!

I already made my vote!

Now it's your turn!

Vote for Kaden!

At five minutes for mom

Today daddy took Owain to his physical therapy appointment. I was bummed that I had to work and was unable to go. I made daddy promise to take some pictures. I know I am such a first time mom!


His therapist was very pleased with his progress!She gave Owain an A++. His last visit was two months ago and boy is he more mobile than ever! Owain is not only crawling but he is now speed crawling. He loves to chase our kitty around the house. He pulls himself up on anything and everything. I lost count of how many times I have had to ice his little head from falling. I have considered making him wear a crash helmet but I really don't want to be come one of those moms.I am so proud of my little man!


After physical therapy daddy and Owain went to get their flu shots and Owain didn't even cry! What a big brave boy!

We had a really nice visit with Great Grandma. Just within the last week she has been feeling better. I think a lot of it as to do with everyone praying. Thank you. She was in less pain and was able to talk and hold Owain. The visit was so much more a "fun" visit. Instead of visiting her in the ICU when she couldn't breathe and didn't even remember us visiting. I just don't want her to be in any pain and right now she says she feels way better than she did a week ago.

As of this past Tuesday my grandma was released from the hospital.She is very sick but is feeling better and happy to be home. With the help of my grandpa and other family members she is being well taken care of.She even has a nurse that comes once a week to check on my Grandma. We are getting ready to hit the road and make a visit. Here is a picture of Owain with his great grandma a couple of months ago....
Thank you for everyone who has prayed for my grandma. This past week she has been in less pain and being able to breathe a little easier.

Thank You

Have a great weekend!

About a month ago after checking in on Owain during nap time and this is what I saw....
I thought to myself maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to get a bumper for his crib. Well this is what I found my little man all tangled up in his new bumper!
He wasn't to thrilled with the whole bumper thing. Can you blame him? I wouldn't want to sleep all tangled up.
Of course that isn't exactly how the bumper is suppose to work. This one that I bought was not designed right. Their were only strings on one side of the bumper to tie it onto to the crib. So their was no possible way it would stay on! Silly design!

So we said"goodbye bumper"

My little man


Wow I can't believe nine months has already flew bye! Just in the last month you have really learned how to take off. About three weeks ago you have learned how to pull yourself up on anything and everything. Your play cube is one of your favorite toys. I think you like it because their is so much you can do and explore on it and your able to pull yourself up.I am so proud of you!Once you learned to pull yourself up now when it's bedtime you pull yourself up in your crib. Daddy had to lower your bed.We were worried that you might learn to climb out at the rate your going.The only problem with you pulling yourself up in your crib is you haven't quite figured out how to get down with out falling. Yes you have had a few new boo boos nothing that a mommy kiss and a little ice can't cure.

Less than a week later you discovered you can get to your destination much faster if you gave up the army crawl and got up on your hands and knees! Now your crawling every where and getting into everything! Boy you are keeping your daddy and I on our toes. Phoebe our kitty cat too. You get real excited whenever you see our kitty. You start laughing and now you chase her! She is such a good kitty she just looks at you meows and occasionally gives you a lick on the head.

Not only in the last month you have started crawling,pulling yourself up but you have started to say a few words! Your first word was book. Since book you have said kitty,da da,maa maa and ba ba. You are growing up so fast! I am so proud to be your mommy and watch you grow. Know matter how big you get you will always be my little baby.

Love you

Mommy

P.S Here are some pictures of you with your cube,pulling yourself up like a big boy!
