Beeeeeep!

Yesterday Anth got his biannual hearing check up. He is growing up so fast. I was unable to take a quick pic with my cell phone, but it was ADORABLE!

Typically he sits on my lap in this sound booth thing filled with toys on the walls. The toys move about or make sound. They watch for movement of his head or body to the sound. Now that he is older he was able to try something new. I was worried because he usually is kind of crazy when it comes to games (only with me it seems) so I wasn't sure he would correctly participate.
But he did great.
We did a few practice runs saying BEEP to him, and he was to put a card into a box with a slit on top.

BEEP
Card in box.
Got it kid?

Then we did a practice run with his little headphones on. The Audiologist was sitting outside the booth in a window. He loved her. He was sitting and listening to her talk through the headphones, and replying to her. I of course couldn't hear her, so it was funny seeing him respond to her.
He was soooo excited when he would hear a beep in the headphones..."*Gasp* I HEAR A BEEP"

He would get so excited in telling her, he would forget to put the card into the box. He did great. The test shows everything is working normally.

So blessed for that.

Testing only

Boys and Their Toys

This week we found yet ANOTHER issue with this old house. The septic. This one had to be dealt with immediately so my dad rented some backhoe type thingy, Ira busted out the shovels and started digging. They had to replace lots of old clay pipes that had been busted by the 60 year old beautiful oak tree. Our current landscaping project unserviced this issue, so yay for me.

So the morning of this occurrence, Anthony woke up to find FUN going on in the front yard. He was upset to be left out of the action and didn't want to get dressed and go to church. Poor little man. He did help out the next night though by using a small hand trowel to help put the dirt BACK into the holes. I love that little man.

I Hope They Call Me on a Mission

Daddy is so Happy!!

So with Anthony we worked on saying MaMa first. And it worked. With Drew baby, Ira wanted DaDa to be said first. Drew didn't disappoint.

Deviled Eggs

You little sugary eggs straight from the devil. I want to devour you. All of you. In one sitting which will make me sick, but I would be happy.

Darn you.

And I shall be known this day forward as LOCKJAW

I won't open my mouth for food, I will lock my little lips together. No No No! I will not eat your carrots, or peas, or sweet potatoes. I may take three bites of pears or green beans, but that is ALL! I will however put EVERYTHING else into my mouth. My toes, your toes, little things I find. Toys, fingers, spoons, everything but food.
