Eleven Months Today

Guess how old I am today?

I'm 11 months old... and that means that my birthday is next month! My mama has something FUN planned to CELEBRATE my first year. I've had a busy year... mama says I won't remember it though... it's probably best. You want to know how amazing I am?? Ok.. I guess I'll tell you!

* I finally tipped 20lbs on the scale... woo hoo.. I really have my NG tube to thank for that. I just get too tired to eat sometimes.

* I can sit on all fours... only for a second or two though... don't even think about saying the "crawling" word... it's WAY TOO HARD! I'll figure it out when I'm good and ready.

* I can say "dada"... I always COULD, I just didn't WANT to. Sorry mama... I'm saving your name for later. I have also mastered "AAAAHHHHH", "na na no no no no no", "la la la la la", "ay ay ay aaaayyyyaaa".

* My silly therapists keep trying to get me to stand on my legs... with my feet flat on the ground.. and they want ME to do some of the work!! It's just CRAZY and I don't think so!

* I LOVE that I was given two feet, because I use them like my hands. Wonder why we don't just get FOUR hands?? It would be a little easier.

* Santa brought me ALL kinds of balls for Christmas. I REALLY like to roll them, throw them, but most of all... EAT them! There's also a lot of toys that make crazy sounds and then my family says "ROAR like a Lion"... why do they want me to do that? I'm NOT a lion.

* Guess how many teeth I have? You don't have to guess, I'll just tell you... EIGHT! I have four on top and four on the bottom. There are more at the surface, but they don't count til' I can use em'.

* I decided to forgo the bottle.. the formula is just YUCK. Then mama tried baby food... YUCK again. I eat what they eat! I LOVE to eat! Why do I have to get so tired though? I'm supposed to have 900 calories a day... yeah whatever.

* I'll tell you a little secret... I LAUGH just because it's funny. I laugh because everytime I do... it makes everybody else laugh. I laugh because it makes me feel good. I LOVE to laugh.

* Well, I'm going to take a nap now. Thanks for visiting our blog. My mom is a bit addicted to blogging, but it's okay.... I get to sit on her lap and rip up all the papers and throw things ALL over the floor! Blog written by Mr. Owen himself! I tell you... this Boy is AMAZING!

Thanks for posting on our blog. I love to get to know other heart moms. You're little one is so adorable! I really have a thing for heart babies since Peyton was born. And your pictures make me miss Arizona in the winter...my husband and I both grew up in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. But I love the summers in Utah! Good luck with the heart transplant list and we pray that all will go well! ~Melanie
