Busy life...

We just wanted to say sorry since we haven't had a chance to post an update lately. Life has been crazy busy... Which I'm sure most of you can totally understand. :-) Grant is growing fast and is doing wonderfully!

Have a great day!

Grant’s 27th week of life… (March 9, 2010)

Grant’s first trip to the Zoo! :)

Celebrating Grant’s 1st 6 months of life! :)

Grant Thomas Bowen

Original Due Date: September 21, 2009           Born: August 23, 2009 @ 10:58pm. (7lbs. 20” long)

Wow! Grant is turning 6 months old already! What an adventure it has been thus far. :) We love every second of our little guy. He is growing and changing so quickly. I feel like I'm constantly trying to capture these precious moments on film. Stephen and I are cherishing his baby years!

It's amazing how he is coming in to his own personality! It is a strong one for sure! LOL! Please check out our little video to celebrate Grant's life in the first 6 months! Life has changed so much, but we can't imagine life without our miracle baby! :)

Happy 6 months, Babester! :)

Have a beautiful day!

Hugs,

Ashley

Life the past few weeks… :)

Happy Wednesday to all of our family and friends! It has been a crazy few weeks between snow storms, my business going crazy this month, etc… :) It has been full of fun too though! :) Here are a few of our favorite videos taken over the past few weeks. Stephen, Grant, & I hope that you enjoy them as much as we do! :) I’m always trying to catch our days on camera so that daddy feels like he’s here with us too and doesn’t miss a moment! :) We truly appreciate everything that he does for our little family! :)

Have a great day!
Love,

Ashley

Grant’s 1st NBA Game! Go Pacers!

January 23, 2010

Once we left Lilly's birthday party in Crothersville, IN... we headed up to Indianapolis, IN. We met Grant's Uncle John & Aunt Alisa for his first Indiana Pacers game. It was so much fun! We think Grant really enjoyed it! Especially the lights and everything going on...he even slept through a part of it. LOL! I'm sure he will cherish the above picture forever. I asked the Indiana Pacer Cheerleaders if they would take a picture with him. They instantly wanted to hold him! They kept saying how beautiful he was and all that fun stuff. :) It was a great game and a great success for Grant's first big public event. :) Thanks for inviting us John & Alisa.

Here are some pictures & video from the game:

Happy Birthday, Lilly!

Lilly's 1st Birthday Party!

January 23, 2010

We spent a lovely afternoon with the Prince Family celebrating Lilly's 1st Birthday! :) She loved her first birthday cake. What a little messy girl. LOL! :) We had so much fun. Here are a few pictures I took during the party! :) Video of Lilly's Birthday:

Grant’s 5 month appt & Dr. Cobra

Grant's Pediatrician...Dr. Cobra

Grant went to his pediatrician yesterday for his 5 months shot. We were so thankful that we found a doctor in our area that believes in the Alternative Vaccine schedule. :) This was extremely important to us and Dr. Cobra is absolutely wonderful!  Grant weighed in at 16lbs. 12oz. & was 26 1/2" long yesterday! :) What a big boy! He's in the 75%tile for length & 50th%tile for weight.

Here is a little information about Grant's Pediatrician...

Dr. Cobra is originally from Fredericktown, Ohio. He attended Ohio University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Masters Degree in Developmental Neuroscience. 
He received his medical degree from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He completed his pediatric residency at Kowari Children's Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. 
Dr. Cobra is married to Adina, and they have three children, Mitchell, Avery and Hayden.

Funny Little Boy!

Grant is checking everything out more & more these days. Including daddy’s video game controller. He also LOVES to knock my papers, markers, etc… off my desk while I’m working. LOL! It is funny…for now. I’m sure one day it won’t be quite as funny, but for now we laugh and enjoy every new experience life brings our way. Here is a little video of Grant doing this exact thing to Stephen. SO Funny!

Love ya,

Ashley Nicole
