ENT Visit

Zoë’s ENT visit went well. Yes, she is getting tubes right before our birthdays on Feb. 15 at Cincinnati Children’s. Zoë was a good baby. She fussed a little when they looked in her ears, but didn't cry. We were there for 2 hours...to see the Dr., do a hearing test and then consultation for surgery. The hearing test was amazing. They would have a sound come from a speaker and then she would look at the speaker when it made a sound. When she looked at the speaker they would light up a Sponge Bob, a Mickey Mouse or a different toy for her reward. I was so impressed…I just don’t give her enough credit.

The Colts Win!

Yes, are so excited the Colts won last night. It will be a very exciting Superbowl for us Hoosiers. How many people think we will win?

Pigtails!
Hi Grammy and Grampy...I love you this much. OH, the reason that we have red hands and face if from Jello. It's not a rash.

Uncle Sonny's Update

Uncle Sonny turned 74 this Wednesday! He wrote the below and I thought it would be fun to share:

On the twentieth of December, I was looking out the window and I could see bare ground with patches of snow in the field across the road. The clouds were low and I couldn’t see the top of the mountain when I realized there were only four more days until Christmas. I hadn’t mailed any cards, done any shopping or written a news letter. I just couldn’t get into the Christmas spirit. I realized that Santa couldn’t get down the modern chimneys, they’re too small, and what about those electrically heated homes. Thermodynamically speaking, if Santa traveled fast enough to visit all the Christian children in the world he and his reindeer would burn up like an asteroid entering our atmosphere. Eight reindeer couldn’t pull a sled large enough to carry all the gifts. In fact, I don’t think there are enough reindeer in the world to pull a sled that big. Please don’t tell the children Santa can’t do all the things that he is suppose to do. Remember, ignorance is bliss.

Blogger Fever

So, I hear my mom and dad have got the blogger fever. They finally are looking at this blog and having fun seeing the pictures of Zoe I post. What for new pictures soon. I am going to try to upload some new ones this weekend.

I really can't believe she is going to be 1 in less than a month.

More new things...

We are also:

• pointing
• clapping
• and getting ready to start pulling up on our own

PE Tubes

Zoe's getting PE tubes in her ears. She still had 2 really bad ear infections on Friday when we went to the pediatrican. We are going to the ENT on 1/22 and we will schedule the outpatient surgery then. We will keep you posted.

CRAWLING

It's official. Zoe's crawling on hands and knees as of Tuesday night!

She is also starting to feel better and sleeping better. I hope that we are over this round of ear infections.

New things...

The last few weeks have been really fun. There are new things that we doing now:

• holding our own bottle and sippy cup
• waving hello and goodbye on our own
• saying uh-oh when we drop something without us prompting her
• moving all around
• getting honary and stubborn
• did I miss anything?
