Happy Birthday Owen.
You are talking more and more now, you can run fast to try to keep up with Donovan.
You love and adore the baby in the house. You call her sissy and love on her all the time.
Your favorite activities and Bubbles, riding in your push car, going outside. and of course doing everything that your big brother Donovan does, whether it's good or bad.
Momma and Daddy are SO PROUD OF YOU!!
In other updates:
Julianna is now 2 months, she is smiling all the time, cooing a lot and even laughs out loud sometimes. She had her checkup, she is tiny still only 10 lbs 10 oz. I am not used to a small baby, the boys were both so big. She is a real treat. She loves to nurse but hates anything atrificial in her mouth, so no pacifier for her..can be challenging, but we can manage.
Donovan turned 9 over the weekend and man oh man, it's like all of a sudden he is a young man. He is maturing so fast, he is reading above grade level and getting straight A's in school. He is continuing to do Karate, but we aren't sure for how long.
I am so proud of all my kids.
We are of course still working out the stuff with Katie and Connor..I think Lisa would really like to drag this out until Connor is 18 so there is no resolution, but Chris is no where close to the point of giving up.
It really taxes him, but he won't give up on his kids.
I am so lucky to have him.
Sorry this is so brief, I have a limited amount of time to be the digital mommy, so much to do, so little time.
I hope whoever is reading this is having a fine day and thanks for stopping by.
Owen is One!! I can't fathom how fast this year has flown by. He is Such an amazing boy. So smart and charming, I mean really charming. He is cuddly, and loving and funny, someday, many many years from now, he will make some lady very happy with his presence in her life. Just like his dad does in mine.
Happy Birthday My Son Owen, you are a blessing to me and I think God for you EVERY DAY!!Love,
Mommy.
When I was young, I enjoyed watching TV, both regular and public television. Primarily Sesame Street and The Electric Company. I also enjoyed the many talents of Jim Henson and all those who do puppets. As well as those who provide what I still believe to be the highest quality TV of our generation.
Chris and I both have fond memories of these programs. We have shared them now with our kids and it means so much to share part of my past with my kids, who are my future.
I wanted to post a few of my favorites, and mention that Donovan loves the "LY song", and got all excited for me when "Letterman" came on, since he knows that is one of my favorites.
I am so glad to share my childhood with my kids this way. And now I want to share just a few of my favorites from the wide array of bits with you.
Enjoy:
The LY song
Mahnahmahnah!
Silent E
Letterman
The Typewriter Guy( nooneenooneenoo)
The Rhyming Song
The Ladybug Picnic
The Pinball Song
The Yip YipsWell, after a long long wait and an even longer labor, Owen made his debut on April 1 2007 at 7:03 p.m
He weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz and was 20.5 inches long.
We were shopping at Wal Mart and my contractions picked up, even though I was skeptical to go to Labor and Delivery, we went and YAY, they said I was 2-3 cm and I could stay, we were really going to have a baby this time!!!
I went natural to 7 cm and then relented to having an epidural, the pain was very intense since they augmented my labor with Pitocin.
I labored all day and at 6:57 they had me start pushing, a mere 6 minutes later, and three rounds of pushes, there he was!!!
here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.. he is a really good baby, he loves to nurse and sleep..and of course, he does what all babies are good at, he poops a lot!!
He is gaining weight like crazy and is already over 9 lbs.
I hope to be here more to post pictures of all the kids..now that he is here and we are getting settled with life with baby.
Until the next time.....
