Playing in the water...

SO Cute!!

Austin, Owen, and Kenadie

After many rainy days.. we finally made it to Deanna Rose on Friday! Owen had a blast. The whole time we were walking around he was squealing and jabbering in his stroller. It was a beautiful day and SO much fun... He especially loved the water thing - I took off his shoes and let him stand in it and he kicked his feet and splashed and laughed.

Thanks to my wonderful husband I got a new fancy camera for Mother's Day!! It is amazing the difference in the pictures. We tried to get some good ones while we were there... :)

Catch up picture post...

I have been a bad blogger lately... We have been keeping really busy!! Owen is so much fun - he is learning so many new things everyday. I will post new pictures soon... :)

The attempt at the 4 month picture...

It is amazing how much more difficult this simple task has become. :) No more little baby who sits quietly and happily and just lets Mommy take the picture...

Finally, we have success!!

Daddy's Valentine's Day Surprise...

We went to take pictures to surprise Daddy for Valentine's Day. It was lots of fun but I learned that it is really not a good idea for a person who is as indecisive as I am to do this by myself. I am sure the photographer was very ready for me to leave by the time we were done... Oh well. I learned my lesson this time and next time we will make sure that Grammie can make the appointment with us...

Life is good. We are having so much fun watching him grow and discover new things in the world around him every day. We were both off work on Monday so we went to near Springfield to visit his Great Grandpa Ted. It was a good visit and he was SO excited that we came to see him. It was a long trip but well worth it.

Three Months Old!

Owen is now 3 months old!! I can't believe it... Here are some pics I took last night...

Being Assertive...

Well, it turns out that being assertive can be very effective. Maybe I will have to try it more often... The practice manager called me back and was completely appalled at what had happened. She spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me, figuring out which nurse it was and going through his chart to find out if there was a reason why this happened. She also said it is protocol to check the sat of EVERY child under a certain age regardless of their diagnosis and if they are in with respiratory problems, to check the sat no matter how old they are. She apologized greatly and was going to speak with her head nurse to deal with the situation as soon as she got off of the phone. She also talked with Dr. M about it to find out if he wanted us to come back considering what had happened. So - we got to make yet another trip, but they promised not to even bill our insurance and promised to see us whatever time we wanted to get there. They literaly took us back as soon as we walked in the door. And I am sure they were as happy as I was to see that his O2 sat was 98%... It also made this mommy feel good to know that she may have saved some other child from having the same issue and it ending up much worse.

Today he is sounding so much better!!! Mommy and Daddy both went to work and he stayed with Grandma - she wasn't excited at all to be able to skip work and spend the day with him... :)
