Just Some Pics...

1 month


We call this one "party pooper" because we took Gavin to a party for one of his friends and THIS is what Slade did the entire time we were there... I guess most would consider him sleeping a good thing!
We put Gavin up against any big bro... he is hands down the best! And Slade lights up when he sees Gav coming. He loves his big brother already. Gavin talks to him non-stop, as you can imagine already and Slade eats it up!
Slade has grown so much in his first month on this planet. This is an appropriate outfit for this story... Right at a week old he started eating 5 oz a feeding. He had a growth spurt at 2 weeks and 3 weeks! He finally slowed down on the eating now; so sometimes he'll eat 4 oz, but he'll still take that 5 oz too at times! He's gonna be a big one!

Announcing Slade Michael Ortega!

Slade Michael Ortega



Born August 17th ~ Weight 7 lbs 3 oz ~ Length 20 1/2 inches ~ Time 1:27 pm
Yes, seeing is believing... Slade is 2 days old and feeding himself! Art was feeding him and the next time I looked up Slade was holding the bottle himself. It lasted for a few minutes and I excitedly asked Art to hurry and take a picture because it's kind of like the big fish story. I told him no one would ever believe us if we didn't take a picture; so there you have it...

Pet Corner

 
 Ruby

 
Kitty Kitten

Shorty
Mazy

I finally found/took pictures of all of our pets; so here's the break down: Ruby is our newest pet. We found her right before Christmas when she was 2 weeks old. She wasn't ready to leave her mom until she was 8 weeks; which happened to fall on Art's bday. She's very sweet, smart and fun. Kitty Kitten is two years old. We got her Easter weekend, 2013. She loves the outdoors, is an awesome hunter and a very sweet cat. Shorty, the Red Eared Slider turtle that Gavin and I rescued from crossing a busy street several summers ago. Mazy the orange Tabby is 18 years old. I got her when I was in college right before I met Art. She has the biggest personality that I've ever seen in a cat. She also "talks" a lot. There's always one that needs a bath, some food/water, wants to go in or out, a change of water in their tank and/or wants attention. They definitely keep us on our toes, but we love them all!
