Cuddle buddy
We had a guest in our bed last night. Needless to say, we didn't get much rest. Sometimes you just need momma and daddy.

Changes
I am so amazed at how fast Owen is developing and changing. Our prayers are being answered a hundred times over. Everyday that I wake him up, he is doing something new. He says so many words now, it seems a new one everyday! (He even sings) Owen is walking all the time these days (although still wobbly at times). He stands up from the sitting position, too! This is so big for us! Things I felt like he would never do, he now does with ease. I am so proud of my changing boy. He seems like such a big kid now. Definitely bittersweet for momma and daddy. God is good and we are blessed!
I'm sure most of you have seen this picture by now (I tend to show it off). Look at my mini-me!
Owen's artwork wall in his room. He loves to point and name the pictures. A daily ritual.
Last week's visit with his pal, Lilly.
Redheaded or blonde? We aren't 100% sure yet.
Sleepy head couldn't make it through a whole book!
Silly willy!

Valentine's Day, Y'all!
I can only say that my love for my two boys grows more each day. Brandon came home from work and cooked a beautiful, authentic Italian dinner for us. (Spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread) He even poured me a glass of red wine. Owen sat on one side and Brandon on the other. The perfect night, the perfect Valentine's Day.
February 14th will forever hold a special place in my heart. On his day two years ago I saw an ultrasound that changed my life. I wanted a little girl, but God knew what he was doing. He has a perfect plan. He gave me the little boy I never knew I wanted/needed. I am so blessed, and head over heels for that little guy. It really is the day for LOVE!
Happy Valentine's Day, Y'all!

Baby Dedication, etc.
I promise I have not forgotten about this sweet little blog. I apologize for being "MIA" for the past couple of weeks. I have taken a little vacation so to speak. We were dealing with quite a bit of sickness in our household. Owen, Brandon, and I all had the dreadful stomach bug. I thought I was dying. Poor Owen, he rolled around moaning and saying "mama" for 12 solid hours. It broke my heart into a million pieces. Good news, we recovered rather quickly.
A few days after that Owen picked up what I thought was a little cold, but is it ever that simple with that child? Um...No. What started out as a runny nose turned into a full blown asthma attack. He was laboring very hard to breathe and his little hands and feet were tinted purple. It scared me. He was at Vanderbilt for 12 hours under observation. They gave him continuous treatments of albuterol and epinephrine and weaned him from there. His oxygen stats dropped a few times, but overall we were comfortable with him coming home. The doctors, like I said earlier, called it an "asthma attack" brought on by a cold. He tested negative for RSV and Flu. (Thank goodness!) He is still on extra treatments as well as steroids and seems to be feeling a lot better.
Sunday, he was dedicated at church. We have wanted to do this for some time now, but it seemed that there was always a reason we couldn't whether it sickness or scheduling conflicts. Our ENTIRE family was there to support us. How much that meant to Brandon and myself! It was short and sweet. Owen was not entirely sure about the bright lights and stares, but he looked adorable nonetheless.
In other BIG news... while most of you have seen Owen take steps from one person to another, or a little toddle around the furniture. We couldn't call him a "walker" because he relied on crawling or scooting rather that walking. Well ladies and gentleman... Owen is officially a walker! It seems that he woke up Sunday and decided, "You know, I think I'll walk today!" Little stinker! I bet I took 2 hours worth of video. I am over the moon excited for him. He walks all over our house. He was even running last night!
Again, sorry it has been so long. Enjoy the pictures and video! Until next time!

In the midst of the stomach bug...pitiful.
My Little Love Bug was feeling really rough right after checking in at Vanderbilt.
He had a fever and oxygen stats were low. His little cheeks were very red.
Feeling a tad bit better! He is so stinkin' cute.
Peek-a-boo!!
Nap? I don't need a nap!!! Little stinker!
Snoozin' on the way to church.
