The Lie

Well, obviously my lie is that I haven't lived in Texas my whole life. I was born in Missouri, and my parents moved back to Houston when I was 8 months old. I do have an uncle whose name IS Russell Crowe (thanks for telling everyone Sarah :P). But no he is not the actor. And yes I did compete in gymnastics when I was little. I enjoyed the comments made, thanks to everyone who posted.

2 Truths and A Lie

I am going off of a blog post of one of my friends. Lets see how well you all know me.
Which one is the lie? Leave a comment with your answer.

1. I've lived in Texas my whole life.
2. Russell Crowe is my uncle.
3. I was once a competitive gymnast.

7 MoNtHs

This year is more than half way over, and so is my baby boy's first year! I can't believe it. When I stop and think about it, it is bittersweet. I am so happy to have him here with us and doing so well. He's growing so fast. I have also thought about all the prayers that have been lifted up on our behalf. Just when I think we are doing great, and don't need prayers I am reminded that we will always need prayers. Because we always need the Lords help, constantly. And I am also reminded that we can always use prayers that Cannon's shunt continues to work properly. We are thankful every day that we get through without complications. He is truly a blessing, and I can never show my gratitude for having him in my life.

Okay, now that I'm done with the mooshy stuff, here's what you really want....pictures. These are the 7 months I took the other day. As soon as we put him down, he got mad! But then he was okay.

With Granmomma & Aunt Teri

Wiped out!

Eating soooo good!

Catching up a bit

On the 25th we had a family reunion with all of Memaw's (Trey's grandmother) family. I didn't get many pictures but here is my favorite one. Seems like I got most of my pics long ways, and I can't turn them to get them on the blog. This is 4 generations of Breedings. 3 James Breedings and Cannon.


Grandmomma and Cannon.

So happy, and he's doing tummy time. These two don't go hand in hand for very

long periods of time.

Just swinging! He loves being outside.

My cousin Karen came up this weekend with Kyler, Kaden, and Kassi. Here are the kids at the zoo Friday morning. We had a great time! And this was Cannon's first time to the zoo. He did really good.

We really enjoyed the giraffes.

First time eating a pickle, he loved it!!

Happy 4 year anniversary Mommy and Daddy, and Happy 7 months Cannon!!!!

Cannon is doing much better eating. He especially loves bananas! I finally figured out how to get my videos on the computer, so here you go. This is him eating his nanners a few days ago.

Another A+ from the Doctor

Yesterday we went to see Dr. McGlothlin, the neurologist. This was just a check up to see how things were going with Cannon's spina bifida. He was impressed that Cannon was moving his legs and especially his feet. He was a little worried about his right eye and asked me if he had "some big medical term" (I didn't know what he was talking about other than it has a tendency to turn in a little bit). We have noticed it more in pictures. But when he shined the light in them he said he wasn't really sure. So he gave us the name for a pediatric opthamologist. Here is Granmomma and Cannon waiting for Dr. McGlothlin.

Since we were in the neighborhood, we went to visit our favorite nurses in the NICU.
Mom, Lanna, Cannon, & Jessica and baby Ellie.

And Carla, the physical therapist.

Granmomma and Aunt Teri came back home with us. Tonight we set up the swing in the back yard and enjoyed a breezy West Texas evening. Cannon has a new swing too, but we haven't gotten it hung up. Hopefully in the next couple of days. He really enjoyed swinging with us, and finally drifted off for a little nap.
