Fowler Wyn Neeley

As you can see, I have been busy posting pictures tonight! I was having trouble...but with the help of my computer savvy sister, Holli, I have created a blog to share fun moments with Fowler with everyone else!! I know some of you are blog-junkies, so I will try to post often! :)
Just a little bit of info on Fowler, for those of you who don't know...
Fowler was born 2/11/05. He was 8lbs 12oz and 20 3/4 inches long. His name is unique, so let me explain. "Fowler" is Dewayne's maternal grandmother's maiden name. And "Wyn" (the masculine form of "Wynette") is honoring Dewayne's sister, who passed away in September from ovarian cancer. Wynette knew we were pregnant and was excited about being an aunt for the first time. She would be very proud of him!
At Fowler's one month doctor's visit, he proved to us that he is getting enough to eat. He weighed 10lbs 6oz and was 22 3/4 inches long!! He is going to be a tall man!!
Well, I hope you all enjoy seeing the pictures of our baby Fowler! Check back often and watch him grow!

A squeaky clean Fowler! 

He wasn't so sure about the bath at first. But by the end of it, he calmed down (with the help of a pacifier). 

Fowler's umbilical cord/stump finally fell off...so, goodbye sponge bath, hello, tub time! 

Daddy and Fowler are no dummies!! Here they are sporting their green on St. Patrick's Day! 

Aunt Grace and Fowler share some quiet time! 

Great Aunt Marge and Aunt Annie take their turns at spoiling Fowler! 

Here's our little family of three!! We are so blessed to have our little son! 

Here's a basketball team for you! Maybe Fowler will team up with Daddy, Pop and cousins Kevin and Levi to shoot some hoops! 

Fowler loved to cuddle up with Great Grandma Lutz!! He is her 12th grandchild! 

Our first road trip...at one month! We went to visit Grandmother and Pop for the weekend. Fowler got constant attention from them...lots of singing, dancing, rocking, and just plain ole' craziness! (Can you tell who we are rooting for? Go Illini!!!) 

We saw this from our back porch one afternoon. Isn't this beautiful? Does this mean that God is doubling His promise to us? Hmmm. Well, anyway, we looked for the pots of gold but had no luck! 

We are lucky to have so many nice parks within minutes from home. Here's Daddy and son taking a stroll! We can't wait for there to be nice days more often, so we can get out of the house! 

I think he is going to be an intellectual! 

This is one of my favorite pictures of Fowler so far! He's so sweet, I could just eat him up! 

PahPah Neeley and his third grandson!! Just a few more and we'll have a Neeley football team! 

More visitors at the hospital! Nana Sherry getting acquainted with Fowler! Nana came to stay with us when we came home from the hospital...and she got to be Fowler's very first babysitter while Mama went to the doctor! 

Grandmother and Pop Eadie were Fowler's first visitors in the hospital. Of course, Grandmother couldn't keep her hands off of him. And Fowler was more than content to be in her arms! 

Getting to hold Fowler for the first time!!  

Fowler Wyn Neeley was born on 2/11/2005 @ 1:11 pm, weighing in at 8lbs 12oz and 20 3/4 inches. He was in the breech position for the last few months of the pregnancy...so he had a cesarean birh. Just an FYI, I was also breech...however, the doctor said that this is not hereditary. 

Dewayne and Franki just a few hours before becoming parents for the first time!!!
