Mover and Shaker

Exciting news!  We have a walker!  Sort of.  Okay, not really.  But Ronan is starting to take some steps on his own.  I'm sure this video will look pitiful to us in a few short weeks, and probably already looks pitiful to many of you.  But I am super excited so I am posting my little video.  Drum roll please.....

Latest Adventures...and Misadventures

I've been falling a bit behind on the blog, so I am catching up tonight (with 3 new posts).  We have had some fun adventures in the past few weeks, welcomed a new member of the family, and had one bummer of a day. 

Chipmunk cheeks...little man loves to stuff his mouth as full as he can get it.

Giving the dog one of his famous open-mouthed kisses

An innocent trip to see dad at work turns into a child labor nightmare

"Hey Jama!  I'm over here!"

Gramps giving him a good push

Our friends Tyler and Emmy met us at the park on their way through Columbus.  Then we dropped of the kiddies before heading to a grown-up dinner.  Here are the proud papas.

Hiking at High Banks Park.  Ronan loves his new backpack carrier and was happy as a clam looking at all the trees and sights.

Artie had fun too!

Hair blowing in the wind

On Monday, Ronan seemed to have a little cold.  By Tuesday morning, he was having trouble breathing and had to be taken to Children's Hospital Urgent Care.  His oxygen levels were low and he had to have 2 breathing treatments and a chest xray (neither of which he, or I, cared for).  Turns out he had Bronchiolitis. His Dr. says that his wheezing is a strong indicator that he may have childhood asthma, especially since he was wheezy the one other time he got sick.  Not a surprise since Kevin had bad asthma as a kid, but we were hoping he'd side-step that one.  Now he has an inhaler (a nerd at just a year old) and has been on a steroid for a week (he wants to pump YOU up! Ha, ha).  Here are his sad, sick boy pictures.

They gave us a gown after he threw up on his shirt (and in the elephant mask)

Tuckered out from all the coughing and vomiting

No worries though...he's feeling better already!

1 Year Pictures

Grandpa Tom scanned some of Ronan's 1 year pics.  They turned out great.  Here is just a sampling.  His friend Rogan bought him a pirate hat for his birthday, so we took it along.  They are some of my favorite pictures!

Welcome Baby Reagan Elizabeth!!

Mike and Melissa welcomed the newest edition to the McCann family on September 1st.  Reagan Elizabeth weighed in at a respectable 7lbs 6oz and looks just like her mom...dimples and all.

(Yes, Ronan is wearing a vest with no shirt under it.  This is what happens when you let your husband dress your child)
