Found a Cute Picture!

Well, take out the goofy looking grandma and we have one super cute picture! Doesn't it look like he is giving that all innocent look? But we know better! I have discovered that I can take semi-ok pictures all by myself. I thought my arms were too stubby, but guess not.

Ohhhh... he had a doctors appt and he is now 12lbs 13oz and they took his feeding tube out. He is nose-noodle less now! YIPPEE!!!!! He is so cute.

Thanks for stopping in!

My Little Man

Maybe chewing these fingers will make me quit crying!
Little man knows how to attract the chicks!

Christian is getting so big! It seems every time I see him he is so much bigger! He is sitting up by himself. He is standing supported. Now maybe he will get some hair back! He is so bald! But thank goodness I love a bald head!

Bryan is gone until tomorrow. He has been gone for 4 days flying. Nicole will be happy to have him back. Christian has decided that he likes to scream. Real loud. Often.

I got to babysit Christian the other day. It sure was fun. But for a little guy with just half a heart he sure has a full set of lungs! He does a scream that makes your ear drums hurt. I am not exaggerating. They actually vibrate so hard that they hurt! I think my hearing is going to be damaged if he does not stop that pretty soon.

Tonight we are bracing for snow. Can you believe it??? Here it is almost the middle of June and we are expecting snow! I had to go out and cover all of my flowers and plants. I have to work the rodeo (remember, I am a medic) this Saturday. I hope it is warmer by then.

Anyway, thanks for popping in and checking on us. Things are pretty smooth going for the little man now. It is just a big waiting game.

Take care!

No Pictures, but here is some news

Can you believe that I am just now looking at the blog after a few weeks??? Here are some updates for you...

The teeth look great! Two big un's on the bottom! Sharp little suckers too!

Porter came home! He was wandering for 8 days! He came home the same day Bryan got home from training! Weird! He was a bit skinny but none the worse for wear.

I have not seen anywhere on the blog but Christian did have a small stroke around the 26th of last month. He is recovering quickly and you cannot even notice anything happened. He has some left side weakness but that is improving everyday. Where he had no movement he now does and he grips with his left hand now but it is just a bit weak. Other than that he is doing great. He goes to the doctor Wednesday and we will see if he gets to take his nose noodle out. He will be so much happier without the feeding tube!

I went on Friday and kidnapped Christian. He got to spend the night with me and Pappy without mom and dad! He did great. Slept like a baby. Up every 2 hours. But he would drink a bit of his bottle and go right back to sleep. He was so wonderful. Bryan and Nicole came over Saturday night to get him and also to enjoy a BBQ here. I made terriyaki chicken out on the grill. I knew that Bryan is not a huge chicken fan so I made him burgers.

Anyway, that's about all for now. I will work on some more pictures. I actually have some but I am on hubby's computer and it for some reason does not like to load pictures. So, I am sure Nicole will add some soon.

Thanks for popping in and checking on us! We love you all!

6 Months!

Happy six month birthday to Christian! Yay! I can't believe that he is half a year already! Amazing! Not too much to report since Saturday. Porter is still missing :( We'll keep looking for him though. Ohana means family... family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. Bryan gets to come home on Sunday! Can't wait! Here's the best picture I could get of little one's two bottom teeth!


The two teeth he worked so very hard on!


Fireman Boopie to the rescue!

Huston, we have a tooth! Make that two!

Yay! Christian has been working very hard at getting those suckers to come through. One came through yesturday and the other is just now getting through! As you can imagine, I am thrilled that I may be able to get a moment's peace from the constant crying that tags along with those pesky first teeth. He has been in a wonderful mood today though. Gramma Sharon took him for the day so that I could look for our puppy Porter. Both him and Onyx got out this morning, and only Onyx has returned. Keep your fingers crossed for his safe return. Bryan is doing great over in Denver. He can't wait to get home, but has passed every test. He should be getting home on the 18th of this month. Happy Mother's Day to all of you ladies with babies! Single dads too! I'll post pictures as soon as I can get Christian's squirmy little tongue out of the way of those pearly whites!

First Trip To The Ranch

Christian and Gramma Sharon with Quinn

Me getting back in the saddle!

Christian awe struck by all of the  "big doggies"

Kisses for Quinny!

Christian and I went with Gramma Sharon to visit her horse Quinn. It was 80 degrees and perfect for riding! It was a bit too hot for Christian at first, so he go to lounge around in his diaper while Gramma and I took turns riding. We all had a blast! The weather cooled a bit and the wind picked up, so we called it a day and Quinn back to groom him and let him back out in the field. Christian had sooooo much fun! He loved petting the horses and even gave Quinny a kiss! It was adorable! After a warm day at the ranch, we decided to grab some dinner at Applebees and then settle down for the night. 

Grammy Whee left for her cruise yesterday, and Great Grandpa Rex is in town. I think that I'm going to go visit Bryan in Denver this Friday and come back Sunday. Christian can't fly for another 4 weeks. But after that, we plan on doing a lot of traveling this summer. We're planning on visiting at least Hawaii and D.C. Free airline tickets are great! 

Christian is trying to pop his first tooth through... and he's been such a gem as you can imagine! He may only have half of a heart, but boy his lungs sure work great! He is eating solid foods a couple times a day now and is doing so well with it! What a big boy! We'll talk to you guys soon! 

Mmmmm...Cookie!

My little cookie monster!

We have been home for five days, and have enjoyed each one of them. Bryan is in Denver for another three weeks of training. Christian is doing so well! He is eating some fruits and has rice cereal in the mornings. He had his first cookie experience tonight at Grammy Whee's. It was adorable! Well, anything he does is adorable, but you catch my drift. His incision is healing well and all stitches are gone. We'll et some more pictures up soon... have a GREAT weekend!
