Eighteen Months

I thought I'd do something a little different on Owen's 18 Months post. Look how much he's grown and changed over the last year and a half!! I can't say enough about this little guy, he brings SO much happiness into our lives. We are beyond blessed to have Owen in our family.

(if you click on my pictures, they get larger)
At 18 months, this little guy looks better than ever! It may have something to do with all of these medications. This is for his morning dose. Afternoon and evening is about the same.
Owen is 24.5 lbs and 32" tall. He's butt-scooting all around, until his endurance runs out. He is finally starting to bear weight in his legs!! He has figured out that rolling from his back to his tummy isn't so bad after all. He's still working out how to get from laying to sitting. Owen LOVES to babble and make noise, sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't, but we always seem to know what he wants. He has speech therapy jumping on board next week, along with physical therapy, occupational therapy and feeding therapy. I'm telling ya, this guy is mister popular round' here.



We love you buddy!! Happy 18th Birthday to you!

I seriously can't believe all those drugs 3 times a day. Whatever it takes! Owen is darling in whatever stage he's in but for me he's not Owen until he gets his teeth, really, he's SO darn cute!

He looks great! I LOVE the collage. It seems like 18 months is the magical number for these heart babies to discover their legs! I hate seeing all those syringes, but love that they are getting him through! That and his great mommy! Praying always-
Happy 18 months Owen, that is a feat bigger than anyone can imagine.
Love-
Heidi

OK... its official... there are only three cuter kids on earth (those would be mine of course! LOL) No seriously... there is something about him... he is just scrumptious!

As for the meds... I can identify all but one... sad eh? Sigh... I am more shocked that he can use the hypafix on his face... Ky has such sensitivities to tapes its crazy. Kudos to Owen for being a tough guy!

PS... I love seeing him in the "water shirts"... my boys have them and LOVE them!
