ENT Report

Yesterday after visiting with the ENT we scheduled for Jacob to get tubes November 9. The visit went well and was like anywhere you have to wait with a toddler: "No. Come here. Put that down. Stop. Don't kick that. Don't touch. Pick that up. Don't lick that...." Jacob had just woke up from his nap and was raring to go so he was quite a toot while waiting. Please keep him and us in your prayers. Seven months ago if someone had asked me if I would be gung-ho tubes I would have said no way. Amazing how 5 ear infections, doctor visits and antibiotics in 6 months can change all that!

Be in prayer for Brancent too. He stayed home from work today because he wasn't feeling good. He is suppose to leave tomorrow morning for the Deaf Men's Conference in Dallas. He looks forward to it every year so we are praying hard he gets better tonight and is still able to go.

I have been wanting to post this story for awhile...today's the day. (wow that sounded dramatic!)

Last month my mom decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies (Thanks mom!). She made a few small ones that had very little chocolate and no nuts for Jacob. He was quite proud that he had his own "Jacob sized" cookie and nibbled on it as he played. He was in the front bedroom at my mom's house and she said "all of the sudden he stopped playing and looked off like he was remembering something. He took off running down the hall, so I grabbed my phone and followed him. When I got into the living room this is what I saw."He was sitting in the living room feeding his cookie to none other than Cookie Monster! Cracked me up that he made that connection just from seeing cookie monster eat cookies, and sometimes the letter of the day, on Sesame Street. Crazy how much they learn!

Desperate Times...

Desperate Times....
Call for desperate measures.

But it felt SO good!

Today is the big day we take Jacob to the ENT. I'm a little nervous about the appointment for many reasons I can't share, but when I remember God is in control I have such peace.

Plus a doctor's visit with these two...how could it not be fun!

P.S For some reason my new post are not showing up on other people's blog list...? If anyone knows how to fix it or why let me know!

Catching up

We have survived H1N1 with Jacob. He tested "weakly positive" and had a low grade fever one day. The worse part of it all was a snotty nose. Snotty meaning thick and green. I didn't know so much mucus could be produced by one little body. It wasn't all that terrible for him, after all he got to:

Relax and watch Baby Einstein and...

Eat Popsicles at will.

We took him back to the doctor last Thursday and his right ear was infected. Hasn't slowed him down any though! We go to the ENT on the 28th, please be in prayer for us and Dr. S.

This past Saturday was perfect. I had no plans and was able to get some things done around the house. Jacob took a long nap and after he woke up we went to SE park to feed the ducks. He had never seen ducks before and couldn't stop staring at them. When they would splash and go after the bread he would crack up! Jacob wanted in the water so bad, yuck!

Ummmm not to sure

I will not share my mother's phobia

This duck tried to sell us insurance.Hmmmm at home they tell me not to throw my food and now they tell me I can... This is the view you get when you run out of bread.

In the last picture it looks like he is signing eat but he's actually trying to sign duck. Any time he signs bird or duck he has his fingers pointed towards him instead of out. It's pretty funny.

When we left the park it was Sonic happy hour. Coincidence? I think not. While waiting on our drinks Brancent decided to entertain Jacob, and myself.

Why Sonic hates us (pennies-hey I least I counted and separated them)

Proof that Sonic hates us

I visited a church Saturday night and I was so glad I did. Anything I could say about it here wouldn't do it justice. Afterward I went home to rock my baby. It was a perfect day!
