OCTOBER

William seems to create more and more energy everyday. It is so fun to see his personality come out. He is such a good baby and pretty happy most the time. He is a bit needy but I love that he lets me hold him. He loves walking around everything. He hasn't tried to walk or stand on his own but he loves to be standing against something all the time. He learned to say "heyo" (Hello) this month. I think because I'm always telling to say Hello to Tyler when he calls throughout the day. His oxygen levels dropped for a couple days at the end of the month to between 75-77. I thought that we would be putting him back on oxygen within the week but after a couple days they went back to 77-79.

At the beginning of October Tyler and I flew to Phoenix for the weekend. London stayed with Kim and Spencer and William with my parents. We also went to the Intermountain Healing Heart Birthday Party. It was up at Wheeler Farm. They had the kids come dressed up, treats, a costume parade and let the kids go on a hay ride. London was dressed as Doc McStuffins which I thought was very fitting and William went as a dinosaur.  There are also some pictures of Halloween at the end.

SEPTEMBER

William's oxygen is between 77-79. This month we had the Intermountain Healing Hearts walk. So good to see heart friends. We playedwith cousins and grandparenets and even made a trip to Thanksgiving Point. Tyler's work has passes that we can use any time which is so nice so we walked through the gardens, the kid garden and the farm. 




 








AUGUST

William is 9 months old and learned to crawl on all fours. He also learned to sit and stand up! His oxygen levels dropped to 82-83 toward the middle of the month. He still creates more and more energy everyday. We had an appointment at Primary's at the end of August and I was getting worried we would need to start putting him on oxygen since his levels were in the low 80's and he is supposed to stay above 80. My little sister came and it was so nice to have some help. They did a limited echo this time. I was grateful they didn't have to sedate him since they only needed to take a couple pictures. He did pretty good besides trying to grab at the instruments. I told Dr. Pinto about his oxygen levels and that just the day before he stayed at 80 and dipped a couple times below. She said that everything looks the same on the echo and his EKG looked great too so now they don't want to see him below 75.  
 

This month was busy and full of fun. We had family reunions on both side of our family this month. We went to Hawaii for a week and then to St George for a couple days. Needless to say we were in Heaven. Somewhere in between trips London hit her head during the last 2 minutes of nursery and needed stitches. Poor thing

We spent a week Hawaii with my family and it was a fun packed week. We went to bed exhausted every night. London stayed home with my brother and sister-in-law and William came with us as I'm still nursing and he is a handful to watch for someone else for that long. He was perfect though! We played tennis every morning and went on a hike every day. We did a helicopter ride around the island which was so pretty too. Our favorite thing was getting together every night for dinner and chatting. I don't have pictures of our St George trip yet but I will post when I get them.

FAMILY PICTURES

I love how our family pictures turned out! I really wanted to get them done before William's surgery in January but the day that we had it planned was way too cold and we didn't want to risk getting William sick before surgery. I was pretty sad about it as I wanted to have them just in case the worst happened. We were very grateful to have my mother in law Penny come instead that day and take some in our home and they did turn out great!  Anyway, I had a friend from high school take some in July out in an orchard. She did an awesome job! Check out her blog: http://www.rachellarkphotography.blogspot.com
