I'm late in posting this, but better late than never, right?!
Owen turned two years old on September 21st! We had a Hot Wheels themed party for him. A very small and simple gathering with our family and friends. It was a truly great day!
That little boy has been through so much in two short years, but he's always smiling. Always so happy.
We went to a Corn Maze a few weeks after his birthday. I snapped this picture, and it's just a simple picture of him walking, but I looked at it for so long and just couldn't believe how BIG he is now.
I said he's always happy... except for here. ;) He wanted Mommy to carry all 33 lbs of him around a 2 mile Corn Maze and I told him to walk. He was not happy about that!
Being his Mother is the best blessing. I spent many dark days and nights after we lost Audrey in 2009 wondering if I'd have another child. I couldn't have dreamed that I would some day have a son. He's all boy. He loves cars, trucks, trains, Caillou is his favorite cartoon and he loves to dance when it comes on. He's talking more and more. I am beginning to believe he'll never say "I love you." Adam tried bribing him with candy after trick-or-treat to get him to say it and he still won't do it. Stubborn child! :-)
Look at how adorable he is in his costume?! He was the cutest dinosaur I've ever seen, and I'm not just saying that because he's my son.
Things have been very quiet on the Doctor front, and I am loving it! He'll go back to see Dr. Hertle (Eye Doctor) some time in January, and as long as that visit goes well, we shouldn't have to go back for awhile. He won't see Dr. Hudgins (neuro) anymore and he doesn't have to see Dr. Murthy (plastics) until next September. Is this really what it feels like to be on the other side of Craniosynostosis? If it is... I think I could get used to this. I feel like we're finally starting to become a "normal" family. It's a
good great feeling!
