Hey Wee One………..

Hey wee one….our little punkin’ pie……what happened to this little guy……….

Thank goodness you grew into this………..same hat – same baby – just a healthy version……….

You took meds every day of your life – 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. – Atenolol and Digoxin.  Your meds went with you in an insulated lunch box with an ice pack.  Like clockwork, alarms would go off at 8:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m. and everybody would say “meds!”.  If you were at our house, Mommy or Daddy would text us “meds” at 8:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m.  If Grandpa Mark was at work, he would text me “meds” at 8:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m.  Everybody cared/cares so much for your precious heart.

Grandpa Mark taped this sticky note on our back door so we would never forget to bring your meds with us if you were spending time with us…….

Yesterday, Father’s Day, was your last day of meds (we hope).  Time will tell on the meds, but we are all proud of how far you have come.  Here you are taking down your “Don’t forget MEDS!!!” sign with your Daddy and Mommy.  What an exciting moment….

As for your NICU hat, it will stay right here…………

forever………as a reminder of you and where you came from and why I make things for other babies.

MORE Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to ME!  Mark and I moved the trellis.  We are letting the back yard grow into a woods – it already looks so much different from this picture – it has grown very much already.  We also planted a little garden on each side of the trellis and evergreens for the frontage of the little forest.

All the way in back you can see the forest I played in as a child.  What fun we had back there.

Here is Corey with the roses he planted to grow up the trellis – thanks Corey!

Vroom vroom……..

Well, not really vroom vroom – I can’t go very fast in my truck unless somebody is pushing me, but hey, look, I got a truck and I’m only thirteen months old.  Thanks Aunt Joanie and Uncle Frankie!!

Can you tell how much I love my truck???

It has a door…………

Beep beep!!!!

Get out of my way……….here I come world……….

I was looking at my feet trying to figure out how this works.  Look at my load in back.  Is this my future?  Hauling yarn for Mommy?  (Yes, Zachary, that is part of your future.)

Can you guess what I’m watching???

Everybody knows that Zach loves Mickey – he also has an affinity for Handy Manny and a few others, but nobody would guess what had him this enthralled………..

This is what he was watching………….

The Archie Show – 1968

It is has good music and dancing and he loved it.
