TUBES

After several ear infections this year, Dr. E. recommended we see an ENT. We went and saw Dr. Agro and he decided Row needed tubes. He had the procedure done about 2 weeks ago. He seems to be doing great now, but the day of was not so good. The first nurse checked his breathing with the stethoscope and he started crying. Every nurse that came in after that he would start wailing. Mitch had to take him back to the operating room... I couldn't do it! Row was back in surgery for maybe 30 minutes. He came out crying and didn't stop until we got home. He went straight to sleep and woke up happy and normal! I am glad that is over with!!

Train Set

Row was given a train set from his Uncle Braxton. Meg and I started putting it together and made an immaculate railroad track, on the floor, using almost all the pieces. I decided to down size and move it to our coffee table since Row always tripped on it. He absolutely loves it!

Obsessing

Row has become obsessed with lots of things.

He LOVES his "mouse".

He likes holding all of the crayons.

After his bath, he holds all of his Yogabagaba bath toys

while watching his favorite show, The Wiggles.

He usually has more cars than this :)

He also is OCD about things being lined up straight.

Bath Toys

Cars

Row's Homemade Ramp

Row loves to push his cars down any kind of incline. We had an old flat box in the carport and he ran over and started pushing his cars down it. It was a very good idea, so I propped it up against the stairs.

Ramp + Cars = An Hour of Fun!

He decided to go up the ramp and "slide" down it, while saying "WEE!!"

Update.....

We had a great Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, and Father's Day, ect. We have been to the beach, Lake Martin, pool, weddings, reunions, wedding parties, club activities, Gantt Lake, ect. I had another wonderful year teaching and Row is still doing great at Guardian Angel. This summer I have been cooking, cleaning, and working in the yards. It's nice to have this time off to do some of the things I love. Row has had a great time too! He goes to school a couple of days a week and then we spend the rest of the time playing or swimming. It's also nice to have this time to spend with him! We still have lots of plans this summer.... hopefully I can get back into blogging more!

Row Update

I have been so busy lately that I forgot I had a blog! I am so far behind....... Row's doing great! Talking nonstop, mostly gibberish. Words he says good: tractor, ball, Bella, Ollie, turkey, doggie, duck, mommy, dada, juice, cow, shoes, truck, blocks, cow, eyes, paci, bye, bath ect. He usually repeats what you say.

He listens very well and understands lots more than we think he does. He goes and gets things you tell him to, but he hates the word "no". He will point to his eyes, nose, ears, belly, and toes. If he hears a turkey sound he says "tur-ee". When he sees a lion he says, "raaaa". He makes truck sounds when he pushes things and he yells "Beya" when I let Bella out. Right now everything that has wheels is a tractor and most every animal is a doggie.

He likes to "tackle" when we play football and he still throws a ball very hard. We are trying to work on him not throwing EVERYTHING, him hitting and then saying "Ouch" and him throwing things down and saying "Uh Oh". He loves bath time and goes to the drawer where his bubble bath is and "pours" it in. He loves playing chase and he runs everywhere he goes. He climbs on the bed, chairs, tables, (pretty much everything). He climbs up the slide and then slides down on his belly. He still has dancing moves that are unbelievable and will start dancing with a couple of beats of music.

Row sleeps good. He goes down around 7:30 and sleeps until 6:30. This schedule is great during the week, but the weekends would be a lot cooler if he slept later. But I ain't complaining :) He is still a good eater except he doesn't eat many vegetables. He doesn't (or won't) take a bottle anymore, but he loves his pacifier (so do I ;)

His school is going great and he loves it! Come Monday he is tired of me and he is ready to see his friends.

This winter Row has had 2 ear infections, pink eye, RSV, a few colds, a risen on his butt, a couple of diaper rashes, and lots of bumps and bruises. As of right now, he is great! His molars and 2 teeth on the bottom are coming in. But besides that, he only has 6 teeth. (4 on the top, 2 on the bottom) The doctor says the later the teeth come in, the better..... it's not slowing down him eating and chewing.
