Modeling!!

Daddy took this shot of me while he was changing my clothes to try on my new outfits he bought me...Mommy saw this pic and went crazy with it. She loves this pic. It shows how happy I am and if I'm happy, then Mommy is happy!! Jealous Brooke?

Yesterday, I had to go to the Hospital for a sedated ABR hearing test. This test will tell the doctors whether or not I need a hearing aid.

It was really hard for me. Two nurses and Mommy and Daddy had to hold me down while they put in my IV. I was really crying and trying to escape Mommy's arms when they gave me the Sedative, Propafol. Daddy was watching my face and said I was screaming one second and then my eyes rolled back and off to sleep I went.

After the test, Mommy and Daddy came back in the room and the Audiologist told them I passed the test. That means no big bulky hearing aid for me!! They did make a mold for new ear plugs. I need them when I take a bath because of my ear tubes. I am so happy that I passed the test and I know Mommy and Daddy are thrilled.

Saturday before the test, we had a party for Alex and Sarah's birthdays at the pool. It was great fun for all my brothers and sisters and their friends but I fell asleep!!

As a side note...Daddy bought me 3 new outfits on Sunday and I love them!! I am definitely a shop-a-holic!!

Hearing test #2

So, today Mommy and I are going to the doctor...again. They are giving me another hearing test because I failed the last one, last month. If I fail today's test, I will have to have another test under sedation again.

This would be my fourth time being sedated. I am getting pretty good at it, although it makes Mommy a bit nervous everytime.

I'll get back to my blog later and let you know how it goes. See ya!! (My big sis Brooke always says "See ya". I stole that from her!!

1st Tooth

My mommy tricked me tonight...She was singing to me and I smiled real big and she saw the secret I've been hiding all week. She suspected it, but tonight she is jumping around all happy because she knows its true....I have my 1st tooth.

I must say I have been a bit on the crabby side this week, which contributed to Mommy's suspicion. Now the secret is out...Go scream it from the rooftops!! I got my first tooth...Now they are gonna be goin' hard at it with that spoon feeding crap. Well I tried...and have to give myself a pat on the back for a week's worth of success!! Cheers!!

Miss Joannie came over today....She is my therapist. Some days I like her and some days I don't. She makes me work really hard and do things that I am not so comfortable doing.

Today, we worked on crawling and eating from the spoon. Not liking either of those. I have some low muscle tone at my shoulders and hips and it makes crawling not so easy.

The food thing....I dont know... to quote my friend Stewie Griffin, "It wasn't even about the eggs, really. Frankly, I like the yolks. I have no problem. There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me. And it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her not to be alive anymore. I sometimes wonder if all women are this difficult. And then I think to myself, 'My God wouldn't it be marvelous if i turned out to be a homosexual?' " All but the homosexual thing...I dont think about that.

My mommy is having a tough week. She had it hard shopping with me and my sisters yesterday and then today is cleaning the house. She thinks I might be getting a tooth, She tries to stick her finger in my mouth to feel for it, but I always pull away and I will not let her see a thing. I move my tongue in the way if she tries to look.

I gotta go. Its time for my baba milks!!

Hearing Test

I didnt pass my hearing test yesterday. My mom is pretty bummed. I go back in 4 weeks and if things arent better then I go under sedation again so they can figure out exactly whats going on and fix the problem. Other than that summer has been great.

My song

Today my mommy picked a song for my blog...her brain was stalled (as usual) so she called Brooke who reminded her of Sweet & Low. First of all its by Augustana, and we are big fans...secondly, Brooke used to sing this to me when I was first born. Mommy added the Lyrics so you can check them out and see this is indeed my song!!
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet,
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies,
I said, well hell is so close And heaven's out of reach
I ain't giving up quite yet,I've got too much to lose
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, and I'll carry you home
Rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine,
The wind is gonna blow, the water's gonna rise
She said, when the day comes, look into my eyes
No one's giving up quite yet, We've got too much to lose
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down,And I'll carry you all the way,
You say you're fine But you're still young,
and out of line All I need is to turn around,
To make it last, to make it count
You're gonna make the same mistakes
That put my momma in her grave I don't wanna be alone
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girlHold me down, and I'll carry you home...
