Little Walker

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Kevin continues to do very well. He started walking! Most of you have seen him walk, he has this sense of independence that is hilarious. He will take off down the street without looking back and doesn't care if I follow him. He is also climbing things. He is very ...

Kevin is now 18 months old and doing well. He's babbling a lot more and says at least 10 words well enough that we can understand him. He's continuing to develop quite a strong attitude, and he wants absolutely everything to go his way or he screams and has ...

It's been over 3 months since we last updated this site - sorry! It's been a busy winter for us, with Kevin being sick almost continuosly since late November. He had just about every kind of virus that went around this winter. We were able to keep him ...

In The Hospital

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Almost two weeks ago, Kevin caught the stomach virus that is going around everywhere and ended up in the hospital overnight so they could watch for dehydration. He did fine and was released the next day (this was before thanksgiving). We thought we were done with sickness once ...

Happy Birthday!

Kevin turned one today! It's hard to believe that it has been a year since we arrived in Iowa City, expecting a short stay for a pacemaker installation and instead getting a 6-week stay with lots of complications. It's amazing to be where we are today, with a little boy ...

We will start with the latest news first - Kevin is finally getting his first tooth! He's been a lot more fussy lately, and we wondered if he was teething, then finally felt it today. He's getting ready to crawl, rocking on his hands and knees. He can roll ...

It's once again been a while since the last update. Kevin is now 8 1/2 months old and doing well! He hasn't had any doctor visits in over a month, and we haven't had any troubles or concerns. Getting Kevin to eat has always been a battle for us, but ...

Kevin is now 7 months old! The Heart Walk last weekend was a great experience, and we would like to thank everyone who donated in honor of Kevin. Before the walk itself, all the heart disease survivors wore red hats and got red balloons and walked the bases of the ...
