June

June 3- New favorite photo of my lil guy looking so big!


Beau is bear-crawling all over the house!  He does this little head tilt that makes me smile every time!

June 6 - Time well spent with our friends. We could not get a photo of them both smiling, never can!

June 7 - We went to the Harbor Festival with the G family. 

June 9 - Auntie J came to town for a week to spent the weekend in DC with friends.  We got to find a few new mermaids, watch Andrew play softball, and play lots of Ticket to Ride!
     

June 13 - We went down to the pool for the first time this summer!  Once Beau warmed up to the water he was LOVING it!!  We just might have a water baby :) He loved splashing!

Beau Mav, you are my sunshine :)

Practicing his reading. We have been so unsuccessful feeding him anything but yogurt is hit or miss.  Like most days, it ends up bring "sprayed" all over his face!

 June 19 - Summer official began today and we spent another day at the pool with the G family and Beau picked up a new skill - CLAPPING!!!  I was clapping and the water would splash up and that's all it took (after months of practice hand-over-hand) to get him to catch on!
   


June 21 - We spent father's day morning at church and then Andrew chose to relax at home and grill out a nice steak for dinner.  Beau made him a special card, too!  


June 22 - Nana got Beau this cute hat and he will not keep it on his head!
NO hats. NO yogurt!

June 23 - Keeping cool at the pool!

Finally went to the Slover library with Krissy and her boys! The boys loved the interactive floors and climbing area.
Love this photo of Beau raising his hand, practicing to be a pre-school boy this fall. 
"Excuse me teacher, Braedon took off his shoe in class!" 

   


Facial mask brought to you by Yoplait Greek 100!
He got this dino ball-popping toy for his 1st birthday and has finally figured out how it works!

June 29 - I attend a group with other moms of children with special needs.  We had our end of the semester picnic tonight.  Beau loved their swing, though it was a lil big for him!


June 30 - Beau had a quick procedure this morning to switch out his GJ tube before we go on vacation this Friday.  He was in and out within a few hours but looking cute as aways at the hospital!

May Moments

 May 2 - We spent a Saturday morning at the ocean for the March of Dimes walk 
and enjoyed some of the kite festival!


May 3 - A haircut and some daddy-Beau bonding :) 

May 6 - Practiced a little bike riding today during PT.

May 9 - A rare moment where he kept his hearing aid in his ear! 
Walking at Mt. Trashmore with our friends.

 May 10 - Mother's Day.  We spent the morning at church and then went to the Norfolk Tides baseball game.
     



Nana came to town on May 19th to watch Beau while daddy had a class for 2 weeks (so we both worked days) and we had all sorts of fun.  We went to the Strawberry Festival, Virginia Aquarium, played checkers at the Cracker Barrel, and walked Colonial Williamsburg. 



       

Friday May 29th - Beau has a follow up sleep study - post tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.  It was a serious disaster, he cried so much, got himself all congested and didn't sleep more than an hour at a time. I have no idea how they got any results! They saw that though he was having 1/3 the amount of apnea events, he was still measuring in the severe range showing both central (where the brain doesn't trigger an inhale) and obstructive events (inhale with an airway blockage).  They are going to start him on a few airway medications and get recorded pulse-ox overnight to see if his normal at-home sleep shows the same drops in his oxygen saturation.

We ended our month with a play date with Beau's buddy Isaac and a family pizza night at Cogans!



All about April

April started out with a fun visit from my dad and step-mom!  We took several walks and made two attempts to go to the beach but it just wasn't warm enough for our little man yet. 
     

Their visit fell over Easter so we got to paint Easter eggs and enjoy a nice ham dinner together as well.  Beau was thrilled about his Easter basket!
    

Doing some oral stimulation ... crayons :),  frozen yogurt :)

 This smile MELTS my heart... daily <3

Beau got his SureStep orthotics April 14th.  However he doesn't like them at all!

Not getting used to grass very well but caught this SMLE!  He does like ice cream though!
     

Saturday April 25th Beau enjoyed his first parade, except for the loud bands.  
We spent the evening with some of our favorite friends!
