Sweetest baby on the planet:)

 

 

 

 

 

Sweet boy sleeping. When we lay him down, he is laid down like a normal person lol but by the time he wakes up, he makes himself comfortable. Obviously!

 

 

 

 

 

Owen and Nick a few weeks ago!

 

 

 

 

I figured that everyone would enjoy the pictures! I didn't do this blog for the pictures though. Three weeks from tomorrow (June 4), Owen will go to ACH for two MRIs and his second laser surgery. These things are very big in the decision of what comes next for our sweet boy. We are praying for clear results on the MRI and praying that the laser surgery continues to work its magic in clearing his port wine stain. In a little over a month (June 19), Owen will go for his glaucoma and eye checkup. This is a big one for us because they will check for glasses again and since this is the longest he's gone without an appointment, we are anxious to see his improvement in his vision and his glaucoma levels (We hope!). I wanted to thank everyone for their support and the time that they spend reading and sharing my blog. I have made it to 700 views. I am so excited!

 



Owen learned how to sit up by himself yesterday - we were so excited! Since he has Sturge Weber, we get anxious when it is time for new milestones to come up because sometimes kids with this syndrome experience developmental delays. So far, Owen has done everything on time - later than other kids but not too late for anyone to get worried. He was holding his own bottle at 4 months, rolling over at 6 months, can say Bye, and is now sitting up a little after 6 months. Today, he rolled over about 6 times in a row and that's the best he's done at it so far!


Yesterday was my first Mother's Day being a mom myself. It was all in all a successful and enjoyable day. After flowers, a 'Mom' necklace, my favorite candy, new shirts, a meal at Cracker Barrel, and time with most of both our families, I had a great day. Owen even gave me a mother's day present all by himself- he sat up alone. I never thought that I'd be a mom this early in life and it surely wasn't a part of the plan I had set up, but I'm so glad that God had other plans for me. I couldn't ask for a better blessing than to be a mom! :)

More to come! Thanks for reading :)
