"Hey There Little One"

Hi everyone! Not much is new this week. I'm happy to report I am taking to the Pediasure just fine. Daddy bought me vanilla, strawberry and chocolate flavors. Daddy really likes the chocolate the best!! Surprise, surprise. I also received word that I am approved for my Synagis shots to protect me from RSV. RSV is a nasty respiratory infection. I get Synagis shots once a month from October until March or April. They are only available to special kids who have to qualify through their insurance or else you pay $1700.00 for EACH shot. I'm not excited about getting a shot every month but I do not want RSV either. I go to U of M on Wed to see my therapist about my texture problem. Hopefully they will come up with a solution so I can enjoy foods with my Mom and Dad.

Mommy and Daddy also bought me a big boy car seat. I'm not ready for it yet but I had to try it out. Here is a picture of me in my car seat.
I would also like to share with you a song Uncle Josh wrote for me. I find it very special and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Hey there little one,
It's nice to see you smiling today.
Hey there little one,
There's just so much to you I'd like to say.
I hope that you always can tell,
Life's just a ride on a carousel.

Love has a way of keeping you clean,
if the ways of the world treat you mean.

Hey there little one,
It's good to know you're breathing okay.
Hey there little one,
Our love for you will not fade away...
I hope that your life goes so well,
You gave us all quite a scary spell.

Love has a way of keeping you warm,
if the ways of the world might do you harm.

Hey there little one,
Please don't grow up too fast.
Hey there little one,
Make all the good times last.
What your life brings I can't foretell,
But I hope that you'll never kiss and tell.

Love has a way of giving you joy,
to such a beautiful baby boy.
Such a beautiful baby boy...

Here is a picture of me with my Uncle Josh when I was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit last December.

Next weekend Grandma Eaton and friends will be here. Until then...
Hugs and kisses,
Luke

Hi Luke. You look pretty special in your new car seat. I hope it's tall enough to let you see over the steering wheel when you drive. Your Uncle Josh is also pretty special to write a song about you. Okay, so your mom and dad (and Uncle Jason) are special too. We look forward to seeing you next weekend. Love G'ma and G'pa Otteman.
