Two!!!



Little man is 2!!! Wasn't it just yesterday he was born??? He weighs 38 pounds and is 39 1/2 inches long. He is wearing 3T-4T even though he can wear a couple of his shorts that are 24 months or 2T. We go for his speech evaluation on Tues and then his other hearing test on Oct. 5. He loves loves his older brother and loves to practice his tackling skills on him...LOL

Christian- you are a joy and a blessing to us!! I just hope this next year slows down a bit!

Trust


Christian had his audiologist appt today. He did not do well with the testing on his inner ears and with the high frequency....so we are being referred to another audiologist for futher and more accurate testing. He has also been referred to speech therapy and since there was a lovely mix up with the doctor and his insurance we have to go back Monday for his second referral for speech....so I am doing that with his 2year check up. Hopefully we can get into seeing the other audiologist quickly so we will know what we need to do and to help him when he starts speech. I admit I did ok with this news until I got into the truck and started to really think about it. It just breaks my heart the thought of him having to struggle with his hearing-for one he is already off the charts in height and weight for his age...and I know he will always being thought of being older than he is...etc...but also I have struggled with hearing loss myself due to being 2 months premature and not having any hearing in my left ear-my right ear has always "made up for it"...I have never had a hearing aide...anyway I just don't want him to struggle.....but then I have to remember that God has a plan for this boy....this happy, sweet spirited boy...and I just need to trust Him! :)
