Lessons from a Binki Professional

In this video Kowin's cousin, Ethan, is helping him get his binki in his mouth. Ethan has always had a helping nature. I love how he gets the binki in Kowin's mouth and then lays down next to him to hold his hand. Too Cute!

Kowin's Video Archive

Looking back he looks so little. He was around 10 months old. I totally forgot about all our old video clips. You might be seeing more

Boo Boo's & Band Aids

Kowin scrapped his knee for the first time. Not too bad. He took it well and we didn't even need a band aid. I remember when my niece MacKenzie was 2 or 3, she scrapped her knee really bad. Then sat there with her knee close to her face looking at her small injury saying, "Go Away.. Go Away" in a little whimper. Too Cute. 
Kowin has now learned to climb over the couch and go down the other side without falling. I was always apprehensive to let him do this, 1st because I thought he would fall really bad because he can't see how far the floor is. And 2nd because I don't want him doing this at other people's houses. Anyway... I let him do it. I decided he has to learn to listen to me when I say he's only an inch of the floor that it's okay to let go. For him it is very thrilling. For me it is just fun to watch. 

One Year Ago

One year ago. Kowin swinging for the first time. He loved it. We went to the park a lot after this day.
I have a video, but it won't download. I will try again later.

2 Year Check Up

I forgot about this picture... but not the experience. We went to Kowin's 2 year check up. Everything went well. Got his finger pricked to test his iron. Went home and got a call that his iron tests were really off and we would have to come back to prick his finger again. Ok. 2 minutes later the nurse calls again. We now need to go to the big hospital because their machine might not be working. Ok. So I pack up Kowin and drive down to the hospital. In order to get to the Lab you go through the ER... and they have to Admit you!!! Never done that before for lab work. (and we do lots of lab work between the two of us) It took 30 minutes to get admitted. In the lab, the routine is normal except for the way the phlebotomist wants me to hold Kowin. I've never had to hold him down before. So he probably wasn't too comfortable. The girl pocked his arm three times with no luck. The next lady came in and got it done her first time. In the end I think a 5 minute process ended up taking an hour. As we were driving home I noticed I had a new voice mail. Checked it. It was the nurse that called before, saying that I didn't have to go to the hospital after all. I could have gone to the clinic. Are you serious?!?!?
Whenever Kowin gets his blood drawn, he always falls asleep on the way home. After this picture he was out for the whole night. What a BAD day!

Crazy Kowin

Kowin plays with pens or markers by rubbing them across his face. It looks kind of funny, but he loves it. People think I am crazy for giving him this type of "toy" because the lid could come off and make a big mess. That has never happened.... until now! He found this marker on the floor while I was working on a project and somehow got the lid off. It made me laugh to see gold metallic marker all over his face. There goes that easy entertaining toy. 

Sweet Kowin

Kowin loves climbing up on the bench and being next to his dad while he is working. I think it is too cute. Sometimes he will climb all over Tyler and I and start giving us random kisses and hugs.
