Happy Birthday, Quentin

5 years ago on December 6, 2004 at 2:10 pm at Providence Hospital in Anchorage, Alaska Quentin Armando Chavez arrived weighing in at 9 lbs 1 oz 19 inches tall.
The first year was not typical as we struggled with getting a handle on his allergies, but still through weekly doctor visits and painful eczema all over his body he was the most cheerful baby!
Dealing with 4 sets of ear tubes before the age of 4 was also stressful, however allergies and ear tubes are easier to deal with, than the other potential symptoms that can come along with dwarfism.
Everyday has been an adventure with our little guy but I wouldn't change the last 5 years for anything!
The time has flown by, I am blessed to have a healthly boy.
Happy Birthday Quentin, you are such a special boy and a joy to everyone who has had the pleasure to meet you, so far!!

I love you!

I am still laughing....since it is Friday and Quentin's birthday weekend, tonight I decided to do anything he wanted for dinner.
He decided on English Muffin Pizza (I am not going to make any other kind from now on). So we did the pizzas they were delicious! Then I had purchased "fun doe" cookie dough from the school fundraiser Quentin has been wanting to make cookies since we brought the stuff home.....so we made them.
First the dough comes in containers that resemble play doh, I cut a hunk off each color and we created....
The picture cracks me up because the doe really plumped when it baked.....

Green blob was a Christmas tree by Quentin

The red snowman
Yellow with red happy face (Quentin made this one)
The red and blue blob on top was a candy cane - I made that one....lol

They don't look that great but they tasted good....next time I will remember to make thinner.....
