My little hunting buddy.

Same Ole, Same Ole

Sweetest LOVE

 

Ready for church

Our family is doing well!  Canon is going on 9 months old and amazes us more and more each day.  He is jabbering all the time now, sitting up well, and trying to figure this crawling thing out. He is perfect to us and has the sweetest personality.  Our love for him continues to grow each passing day. 

  I have decided to do his first birthday, Mickey Mouse Club House theme.  He loves Mickey and cackles when he heres him sing.  I am so excited that he is growing up and learning new things every day.  I was concerned that he would lag a little behind being a 34 weeker but he is mastering all the tasks that he should at this point.  Not much has changed lately and I find it hard to update since our daily life tends to repeat the same thing every day.  I guess this is a good thing though because we are continuing to do great. God continues to bless our family and we are so thankful. 

Just Another Day...

Hey guys, how is every one doing? Canon, Trent, and I are doing well.  Not very much has been going on since our last post.  Were still just spending our days playing and eating and playing some more.  Canon is growing so fast and I can't seem to remember his first days. He is going on eight months now and is now sitting up like a big boy and wanting so bad to scoot but still can't quite figure it out. 
   All of my friends tell me that the days get easier as your baby gets older but I am not sure this is true for us.  Canon knows how to play us now and wants constant attention.  He will sit with his arms in the air and cry if I don't pick him up. Trent fusses at me and tells me to let him cry more and not give in to him but I can't stand to see him sad.  Does any one have any ideas on how to get him to want to play more instead of being held 24/7? Don't get me wrong, I would hold him all day but there are other things that must be done such as me having a shower and washing bottles, dishes, clothes etc.  I don't know about you but I find these things pretty hard to do with an eighteen pound baby on my hip.
  I find my self thinking of ideas for his first birthday party and I still can't believe that my tiny baby is closer to being one than he is a newborn.  Next thing I know, he will be going to school and not allowing me to hug and kiss him.  I wish sometimes that time would just slow down and that my baby would stay little forever.  Can you tell that I am a tad bit in love with this precious bundle?

Every thing is going great for Canon, Trent, and I. Canon will be 7 months old on the 28th and is getter stronger every day. He is now sitting up pretty much on his own, rolling both ways and trying to scoot.  Our hearts are so full.  We spend our days playing out side, watching Mickey Mouse Club House, playing on the floor and sometimes visiting friends. I am so glad to be able to stay home with my boy.  I cant think of a better way to spend my days than loving on him.

  On another topic...Is any body else ready for some cooler weather? I hate for Canon to have to sweat to death in the back seat but I guess that's the only choice since he has to sit rear facing for so long.  I'm thinking about getting him a little kiddi pool now that he can pretty much sit up...I know he would love to splash. 



Days of our lives

How is everyone doing? We've been good.  Trent is traveling so much for work now and Canon and I are trying to get used to that.  He has never had to travel  and now he is gone at least once or twice every two weeks and then has been flying out almost once a month for trips.
        Canon will be seven months old next week. I can't believe how fast time flies and how big he is getting.  My love for him grows stronger every day, if that's even imaginable.  He is our world. He has been such a good baby and makes our days so much happier.  He now weighs around 17 pounds and is 28 inches long. The Dr. said he's in the 30th % for weight and the 50% for height. It's hard to believe that he's not that 5 lb. 9 oz. baby boy any more, that we left the NICU with.  God continues to do amazing things in our lives and we are forever grateful.

     So much has been going on with us in the last few months but I can't find the time to update enough.  Trents brother got married in May, Canon is apnea monitor free, We moved to a new house, my three year anniversary is this week etc etc.....I promise I will take the time one day soon to tell you about Canon's big arrival, yeah yeah, I know it's only seven months late.

Happy boy in the mornings

Happy 4th Everybody...

Hi friends.  It has been quite a while since I have updated.  Canon is doing great and we received the best news last week.  He no longer has to wear the apnea monitor.  We got the good news on the day he turned 6 months old.  Needless, to say we are relieved but also a little worried since we are so used to "plugging him up every night".  He now sleeps with a Snuza that clips to his diaper which gives us a little more comfort.  The past few months have been full of doctors appt's, which keeps us going all the time but they are now coming to an end, since he has a clean bill of healh. Thanks for all the prayers and to everyone who still checks in on us.  I know we have been MIA for a while but my time is now filled with a precious little one.  God Bless and Happy 4th.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy , Happy mother's day to all of the mommies out there.  Today has been so very special for me.  Last year, was so difficult for my family and I.  I was a mama but not to a baby that I could watch grow. Two weeks after mother's day last year, we found out we were expecting baby number three, what a wonderful day that was.  This mother's day has been amazing.  I am heart broken because I miss Easton and Parker so much but an also filled with so much joy to have my sweet Canon here with me.  Watching him grow I am able to picture what his brothers would have looked like. Canon looks so much like what Easton did when he was born and I know God allowed this so I could picture my precious twins, even though they're not here with me. I have been trying to do better about posting but my computer fell off the couch and broke so that put an end to posting every few days.
 Ive been trying to upload a few pictures but this computer will not cooperate so I will try again soon... I hope all of the mothers, soon to be mother's, and ladies who yearn to be mother's have a great day.
