Jensen’s Journey

Jensen is ready to bust out of here.
He had an asthma attack and difficulty recovering so we spent a couple days in the hospital.
He has his shark bag and is ready to go!

I guess when you turn 3 you start scheduling your own appointments 😂

Well, that was *not* fun.
It had its moments, but I 12/10 will not be taking these 3 on a “hike” again without a baby carrier. That boy is HEAVY!
We got about 10-15 minutes into it and he was done.
It’s hard to do things outside with a visually impaired child, but, we will try again another day ❤️
PS- he only wanted me to carry him, but Matt did take a few minutes here and there so I could breathe.

I can’t believe I forgot to share here!

Our sweet boy celebrated his 2nd birthday on August 10th!
His story:
Jensen was born right around 36 weeks. He was sent straight to the NICU for breathing related concerns and spent 2 weeks there.
Matt and I kept his name and gender a secret until his sisters got to meet him.
Jensen was such a small guy. He weighed just 6 pounds 3 ounces at birth.

Just a little photo update:
Jensen was so proud of himself for climbing up to play the piano.

Big sister Bristol was thrilled she got some quality bubba snuggles.

This sneaky boy climbed onto the counter in the living room to see what he could get into.

Jensen has been climbing more and more. He has even figured out that he can move chairs around to climb onto higher things…like the kitchen counter. Ask me how I know 😂🤷🏻‍♀️😳

This boy. Keeping us on our toes! After a visit to the dietician today, Jensen decided to climb on the table (something he is not allowed to do). He is smiling because he knows not to be up there.

Then I was able to get a couple pictures of him with his sisters- a rare occurrence!

Jensen has really enjoyed playing and snuggling with the kitty. He is giving her a kiss.

Our Friday was filled with occupational therapy, car naps, and kitty snuggles ♥️
