mommys been slacking

As the title says I have been slacking on wrighting we have had to much going on and when Kagen goes to sleep at night so do I.....but here is the update on everything my sweet angel baby is doing so good.   well not too long after the last blog I posted we went to Lily's 3rd birthday which kagen wasnt so sure about one of the pony's because everytime I would but him on it, the pony would move but this one he liked he was telling his daddy and uncle sam that him and AnaKate want a pony :)

Kagen's face is priceless in this picture

Sweet Kagen turned 5 months old and of course he has his month sticker picture (I personally love this idea and think every child should have these so they can go back and look at what they looked like each month of their first year) and oneday when I have much more time Kagen will have a scrapbook of all his pictures which he has plenty might I add



I cant believe that he has gone from a 5lb back to a 15lb little man in 5 months eating food and growing up so fast I tell him all the time that he has to slow down mommy loves having little baby Kagen but he amazes me everyday

Kagen's 1st jonjon grandma maggie made him(we never meet her until this day but she has made him lots more) and we love her for that and she can be his grandma.

This picture was taken the day we got to see AnaKate 4D which Kagen and I loved very much, we always love seeing AnaKate and cant wait for her to be here. AnaKate looked beautiful, I dont believe she is going to have ds (but im no doctor) but if she does she will be very loved because she already has mine and Kagen's heart <3 but she still has av canel which is a heart defect but we looked at everything related to ds and seen no signs besides the heart.

sweet baby

another jonjon made by grandma maggie

mamas happy boy he is such a blessing.

Mr.Kagen and Miss.Molly they are only a week and 6 days apart and both perfect babies I started keeping her so Kagen would have someone to play with and boy has it been exciting, wasnt sure at first if Molly was going to fall into our daily routine but she did she is a really good baby.

We had an appt with the geneticist March 5th in Augusta, so we had to leave the day before to get there on time, Kagen did so well with the long ride but are hotel was across from the hospital and all the noise kept waken him up Im guessing but it might have been because he wasnt at home. He also didnt want to eat in his bumbo, thank god I couldnt find another bathtub to take so I took his or we wouldve had problems. the appt went good we learnt alot and we are waiting on our blood work to come back to find out anything.

here is one of Kagen's Easter pictures which I love very much. Also the night before the pictures Kagen slept all night in his crib in his room..Hes a big boy now :( I miss my baby going to sleep with me but its best for him and thats what matters, and he has done great every night since but Sunday when time changed it messed him up that day.

they are so cute I love it

Kagen yesterday he loves balls and doing so good holding it (throwing it)

I love these babies they are just so dang cute.. and so good this weekend our group is doing our down syndrome day at the park we are very excited to be apart of this and spend time with other kids and people like my sweet Kray. I would never change anything about this sweet little boy he has made me a much better person and able to see that unthinkable things can happen to anyone. But only special babies like Kagen are giving to a select few. I cant believe Mr.Kagen turns 6 months old a week from today which is also World Down Syndrome day World Wide :) (3-21-12)

update

Kagen is thinking about being a GA fan but daddy is a Gator so we will see..I hope hes like me and not care about football

This was the only good picture I got as I attempted to take Valentines picture he wasnt in a picture mood that day.

Kagen has been sick for a few days now. Hes had his very 1st Valentines day and we have gone to the audiologist today where we were unable to really find out anymore info about his hearing because he has fluid on his ear drum. Kagen was this months spot light in our ds group very exciting for baby K.

Kagen was dressed so cute for our ds meeting this month but needless to say he wasnt wearing this long before he had a diaper leak :( this was the picture taken before he starting feeling bad and only fussing when he wasnt being held.

mommys big boy Kagen wasnt feeling good but he was making his fishy face and I finally got a picture of it. We spend most the day after daddy leaves for work doing tummy time, seating up, or making faces. I wish everyone could be able to stay home with their children its such a blessing that I dont miss nothing that Kagen does. I love watching him grow.

 The night before Valentines day Kagen was up all night screaming I told him I wished he could talk and tell me what was wrong so I could help. He was having dirty diaper after another and he was sticking his hands in his mouth, so I wasnt sure if it was teething or stomach.

here is Kagens night night Valentines outfit he wasnt feeling good at all and he wasnt a fan of me taken pictures of him either. Let me add my sweet baby fall asleep that night in his crib when normally we cuddle and he sleeps with me. but around 11:30 I made Lance go get him because I didnt think he was ready to be alone at night in his room :) another thing I have rode in the back seat with Kagen since we came home from the hospital and Wednesday we took my Kia to the shop to get checked out and had my moms car so I had to drive and guess who didnt cry and just sang to the music my sweet little Kagen mommy couldnt believe it I was dreading the screaming he was going to be doing and he was perfect but we havent tempted it again yet.

moomys big boy gosh this picture makes me really sad that my sweet tiny baby is going to be 5 months old next Tuesday he looks so grown.

long week

well lets see the past few days have been a world wind for us as well as the whole family. In the past week we have gotten news about AnaKate, Kagen rolled over, we made a trip to Macon, went to Tifton, and Lance aka daddy got not 1 but 2 puppies. well with all that said let me explain everything well we got the news AnaKate might have ds which is not an issue my sister loves Kagen and will accept a sweet baby girl that will be just as perfect as Kagen.

well after the OT visit we started playing it the extrasaucer instead of the jumperoo..Monday January 30th Mr.Kagen rolled over twice what a big boy but I have not yet to get it on video because some little boy doesnt do anything when you want him too its all on Kagen time. let me add I was so excited me rolled over that when I texted his daddy hes going to tell me he already seen him yeah right or he shouldve said something I dont believe it honestly because this is something to be excited about.

Me and Kagen were lucky enough to get to go to Macon and see AnaKate on ultrasound. Kagen watched her it was so sweet but kept looking at his Aunt Jessica not knowing what they were doing to her. We didnt get the results that we were looking for there but we are praying the doctor is wrong and this is all in Gods hands but I have a feeling that things are going to be ok and that this doctor dont no what he is talking about because Miss. AnaKate is going to be a fighter like her aunt and cousin. see I can take all the credit for my neice since well this is the only girl since me and because she is named after me and going to act like me. And I also know that I have a very strong sister that is going to be strong during this too. well I'll explain this later well in 4 weeks when we find out the doctor was wrong and God answered prayers. On a good note we ate at Olive Garden

and then the next day we went to Tifton for daddys hearing test and let me tell you that since he had a hearing test done at work and they told him that he might have hearing lost in one of his ears he has been ACTING like he cant hear..well me and Kagen solved that by making him an appt with Kagen's ent well we made daddys with the closer office and the test came back Lance had normal hearing and better in some places. and let me say the whole time we were there Kagen was ill because he was tired from all the riding he has been doing the past 2 days but its ok. Hes perfect and I believe some of his fussiness is from teething too.

OT visit

well since the last post we have gone to the doctor for Kagen's 4 months check up he's a big boy weighing 12 lbs 11ozs and 24.5 inches long.He wouldn't talk to the doctor or even push up like he does all the time at home but thank goodness Aunt Jessica shows her the pictures so she knows he CAN do it. And Aunt Jessica gave him his shots and this little spoiled boy only cried for a min as soon as she picked him up he stopped. We all know he loves his Aunt Jessica because he can be screaming and when we let him talk to her on the phone he gets quit and the doctor said he couldn't hear. Kagen can hear when Kagen wants hes a boy what do we expect.

 he was happy after getting shots too bad once he woke up from nap a few hours later he wasn't so happy and boy was he ill

We met with his OT today for the first time and once again we hear I'm doing everything that she would do if she came she did tell me to start holding his arms down while holding him so he will get better head control and we will see her again in February and once a month until we see we need her more.

Our daddy told us that we would no longer wear this shirt again after today and it would be something that goes to AnaKate because it has ruffles on it (yes I no ruffles arent for boys but the socks that came with the outfit said little man so well its a boys outfit) but daddy said no more so after it gets out the wash it goes in AnaKates box also let me add we only wore it 2 times and the 2 times we wore it daddy complained the 1st time we didnt leave the house and the 2nd time was Wednesday(yesterday) and we only went out to eat with nanny,grandaddy,nana,aunt jessica,uncle sam, and of course mommy. And no one committed on it

four months

So in four short months I have fallen so deeply in love with this little boy. yesterday as we spent Kagen's 4 month birthday as a family day and daddys day off we went shopping and spent the whole day together. I've really noticed lately who my real friends are. From the point when I found out I was pregnant, after Kagen was born, finding out he had ds, and then up to now. only one person besides family has been there for us and she loves Kagen so much its aunt Leigh Leigh aka Ashleigh she was going to camp out in the waiting room of the hospital the night Kagen was born she has been the most supportive.

Aunt Leigh Leigh and Kagen she comes at least once a week most the time more to snuggle Kagen. another person that has really been there is my sister we are closer now then ever before she is always there to give a helping hand when needed and we just cant wait until AnaKate gets here when Kagen was in the hospital Jessica let me sleep through a Friday night feeding and she went and fed him and took pictures just like I wouldve done if I was there shes going to be a great mother to my niece.

Aunt Jessica and Kagen (Kagen 2 weeks old)

I could go on and on about my family how great they are they truely are amazing and Kagen is so lucky to have each and everyone of them. I HAD a few friends that I use to classify as best but well they havent made the first trip to my house to come see Kagen or just texted me to check on him but its ok because its their lost in the end because Kagen is nothing but perfect and I would rather him not be around them. then there are some people that I hardly talk to that have made effort to come meet Mr.Kagen a few times and just be company to me which is nice to have sometime.

well tomorrow we go to the doctor for his 4 month check up and shots oh boy he did so good last time lets see how he does this time..cant wait to see how much he has grown since last time we were there :) hopefully she will give it the ok to start letting him eat some even though I already started him on Oatmeal at night time which he is still doing great with the spoon and loves it

Kagen's going to be a big cousin

So today is the day we have been waiting for since we found out aunt Jessica was going to have a baby. I was lucky to get to go and I told Kagen last night if he was awake he could go and little man woke up at 6:00

Kagen proved his point he woke up and wanted to go but after I got out the shower I found him asleep

He is such an angel so mommy left him in bed with daddy..because he had his first visit with the speech therapist at 10 and I didn't want him to show out.

Well we finally found out after waiting at the doctor that I'm going to be the proud aunt to the sweetest little girl ever her name will be AnaKate Allison I'm so proud that she will have the same middle name as me :) that just makes my day but we will all be happy to welcome her soon Kagen wasn't so sure about the news I think he was wanting a little boy but well things dont always happen like that

this was how he took it well then I explain he wouldn't have to share his toys he was ok and accepted it

he is such a sport..and the speech therapist came and little man ate so well for her and she gave us things to work with and ways to make him do better but wasnt really worried because he is doing so well and she would be back in a month to check on him again..

well time flys

well lets see we have the most amazing almost 4 month old. Kagen had a time with formula we went through 4 before we found the one that worked which is elecare..this formula is $83 a can thank goodness for wic.

this is Kagen the day he came home 5 days old so tiny.

these are a couple of pictures from Kagens 2 week photo shoot
ok so time really does fly as I look for pictures its hard just to pick each month I take a picture so here is 10/24

he doesnt really take his pacy unless he is hungry. oh month 1 Kagens test came back he did have downs and everyone accepted it fine this baby is a fighter and is so loved.

Kagen wasnt really sure about Halloween we went to the pumkin patch to take pictures with aunt leigh leigh aka Ashleigh I beleive he slept through it I cant find the pictures from it

he is always so happy he knows hes so loved.  Also we found out that his Aunt Jessica was going to have him a cousin that is due June 20th 2012 :)

At 2 months Kagen went to hope haven, ear doctor, and the beach

mommys 2 month old handsome boy

this is Kagen and his grandaddy this is grandaddys heart and Kagen knows that whatever he wants grandaddy will get for him

Kagen and Skylar, she is 3 days younger then kagen and in this picture she looks like she is a month older then him.

mommys big 3 month old time flies it really does and hes getting so big at 3 months he is around 12lbs big boy

those are a few pictures that aunt leigh leigh took for christmas let me add every day in december Kagen had a different outfit we had the 25 days of christmas thats too many pictures to add but they are all on facebook.

we had family pictures done with everyone and my grandaddy only smiled when Kagen was in the picture

well also we had him another photo shoot and he did great mommy loves picture of Kagen

you can really tell he looks like his daddy when they are right next to each other even though sometimes I say he looks like me :)

So Kagen had a great new years he brought it in sleeping with mommy and daddy so 2011 blessed my family with the love for this sweet baby.

oh let me add Kagen has been going to an ent in Valdosta he had an abr done and the doctor told us that he could not hear but he jumped when he slapped the door..that answer wasnt one I wanted to hear and I was told he could hear high tones but the doctor didnt say that also at this appt he said come back in 2-3 months then back when he is one well they didnt make me an appt and I knew I wasnt going to be coming back there so we talked to his doctor and we got sent to Douglas where they ran another abr on him and he passed (this doctor had the right size ear thing for him) and everyone was so nice. we go back there when he is 6 months if we want another abr ran.

this is today January 17th Kagen is on day 4 of eating from a spoon and doing so well took to the spoon with no problem. tomorrow is the big day that we are so excided for we find out if we are getting a boy or girl cousin Kagen doesnt like when we say girl so maybe its a boy but whatever it happens to be it will be very loved.
