Pyloric Stenosis Survivors Club

Most people who read this blog probably know that Colin had surgery when he was 3 weeks old to correct something called Pyloric Stenosis, which is an enlarged muscle in the stomach that makes it impossible to keep food down (see post on June 13th for details.) What I might not have included in the original post is that my Dad and his brother Scott both had the same condition when they were infants! The surgery has changed a little since then; nonetheless, my Dad has been wanting to get a picture of the "Pyloric Stenosis Survivors Club." So, here it is!

Conversations

I love this picture of Colin and my mom having a conversation!

Pumpkin Patch at Camp Korey

I love the Fall! I love pumpkin spice lattes, the changing colors and of course...the pumpkin patch! We took our first trip to the pumpkin patch with the Selfridge and Bodmer families. The babies were pretty good while the parents took about a million pictures. Maybe next year Colin will be a little more interested in the petting zoo, hayrides and picking out a pumpkin. At least this year he looked pretty cute in his pumkin hat (Thanks to my friend Kim for knitting it for him!)

Flexible!!

I am convinced I should take Colin to yoga so that he never loses his flexibility. Also - maybe I should teach him that if he keeps putting his foot in his mouth (literally) he might have a tough time making friends :)

First Family Vacation - Maui!!

Well, we did it - we successfully took our first family vacation, which included a total of 12 hours on a plane and 7 nights in a one bedroom condo with a 4.5 month old!

We were fortunate enough to get a great deal on a condo in Maui, on Kaanapali Beach! We had a great time relaxing, getting some sun, doing some sight seeing and just enjoying each other's company.

Our trip started off great; Colin was easy on the plane and we sat next to a great couple headed on a kid free vacation for their 10th anniversary. It was funny to run into them a number of times at Costco before heading to our respective hotels for the week. Their cart at Costco was a little different than ours - we had formula and diapers and they were getting beer and mixers. We were laughing about how life comes full circle :)

Colin LOVED the pool and Matt and I enjoyed the time together reading and relaxing. We also got a chance to do the Road to Hana which is just beautiful! I cannot wait to take Colin back when he is a little older and will really enjoy playing in the pool!
