Success!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I had the procedure done at AI DuPont today where the coil was placed in my heart to take care of my PDA.

We were at DuPont at 6am this morning and I got taken in for the procedure at about 9:20am. It lasted about 2 hours and went really well, then I slept it off for about 3 hours. After that I had to wait another 3, without putting too much stress on my leg (try and hold me down!) I came out of the anesthesia with a smile on my face and was ready to go at the 4 ½ hour mark. After the 6 hours recovery were up I got to get out of Dodge.

Thanks to everyone for all of their good thoughts, well wishes and prayers.

Beach Day

Yesterday mom and I went to the beach with Aunt Renee, Uncle Mark, Justin and Kelly. I really like going to the beach, we always have so much fun. I get to go int he ocean and play in the sand and mom takes me on rides on the boardwalk.

This past weekend was a lot of fun. Amy and Dave came all the way from CA to visit for the weekend and we had a great time. On Friday mom and dad took us on a tour of Philly and you know how much I love "skating" through the city, I even got to try a bite of my first cheese steak and it was yummy! Saturday we went to Batsto, which is an old town in the Pinelands. That was fun too, we got to see an old mill and see what the houses used to look like, etc. Unfortunately come Monday, you couldn't tell that it was even August, it was cold and rainy, but I still managed to look styling in my super cool rain coat.

Nike

On Monday mom took me to get my first pair of real shoes, how exciting for me. I got a super cool pair of Nike sneakers and I must say that I look styling in them. I wore them yesterday and there was just no stopping me, I was everywhere. I think that the shoes make all the difference, either that or it's just the power of the swoosh!

New York City

On Wednesday Mom, Dad and I went to NYC so dad could get his visa to go to India. It was fun because we got to take the train there and I liked that. We also walked around Central Park and down Madison Ave and through Time Square.

Yesterday I officially turned 14 months old and I'm doing more every day. I am walking up a storm now and getting into everything. I am a pretty good climber as well and like to see what I can get up onto.

Today we are going to Kris and Jack's to go swimming so I have to run and enjoy my day.

Making the mark

I have reached the 20lb. mark and am now able to ride facing front in the car. (here is a picture of my first front facing ride) I am much happier in the car now, it's nice to see what is going on!
