two week post-surgery check up

dear gage,

your mommy sent me an email today.  she told me some neat things about you and showed me some super neat pictures.  see yourself above?  i especially like the one where you've found your hand and the other showing your awesome tipping-over skills.j

i miss you gage.

i haven't seen you for too long to admit.  soon though.  soon we'll get to hang out.  i hope you'll remember me.

here's a copy of your mommy's email.  i think it's neat that you're getting teeth so you can start eating food that will make your poop smell awesome.  

love,

auntie em

p.s.  gavin said you could have his ollie the octopus rocker for your room.  i think you'll really like it.

The little guy can take a much needed bath again! These sponge baths are not cutting it!!! At his two week check up they took off his bandages. I will make sure to get pics of his teeny tiny scar {posted} soon! The incision is healing perfectly, an his dissolving stiches have almost fully disolved. He had a very long and very thin scar. When i get home from work i will send you of pic of his x-ray too so you can see his device! 

They say he is doing fabulous! They couldn't have imagined a better recovery. He will continue to see a cardiologist, but his next appointment isn't for 3 months! thank goodness! We are getting sick of this place!

He is rolling all over the place again....there have been some instances that he nearly made it off the couch...too close of calls for mommy! He is back to his stubborn self, wanting to do everything the big kids are doing, the only difference is that he vocalizing his wants more than ever. So when he feels let out...you know it! We are excited for the {American Heart Association} walk this weekend! He loves the fresh air!

Sadly he is teething. But on the bright side all the crying is only from teething and not from the pain of his surgery. He is totally off Lortab....which we haven't decided is good or bad, because maybe he needs it for his poor mouth?

Attached are some pics from the other day. Happy as can be!


{p.p.s from auntie: the photo below confused me.  that purple background makes your comb over look like a mohawk!}

mohawk it is! we decided to embrace the massive forehead instead of hide it. It only took nearly 5 months! Where did he get it anyways?

His dad is a neanderthal...does that mean i have a massive forehead and i didn't know it?!?!
