March

Life sure has been crazy lately!  It feels like we are rarely home these days and when we are there is just so much to do its hard to remember to sit down and blog.  March has been extra busy as we have had many doctors appointments for all of us - with the family doc, geneticist, gastroenterologist, ophthamologist, audiologist, ENT...we are making the rounds!  Combine that with speech therapy appointments and playgroups and I think I'll be glad when this month is over.

Little Miss is still doing very well with her new hearing aids.  She loves to wear them!  She is talking up a storm and just when I thought our house couldn't get any louder, Hannah has added her voice to the mix in a big way :)  She is such a character!

The other day, we were out at the store together.  As we stood in line at the checkout, an older couple smiled at Hannah and the gentleman bent down and said a very friendly hello to her.

Do you know what she did?

 

Yep, that.

Sigh.

There's a proud moment as a parent!

Thankfully they just smiled and thought it was funny.

Crazy kids!

We are so thankful to have some warmer days around...we are ready to say good-bye to this snow...

...and HELLO to spring!!!!

Here's to Hearing!

What a great week we have had!  Well, as I typed that I remembered all the tantrums and fighting and general difficult behavior from a couple of little people around here that have driven me to the brink of insanity!  But other than that...a great week!

We were thrilled to go to Hannah's audiology appointment on Thursday so that she could get her new bilateral BAHAs!  This means she now has two hearing aids on a black headband.  From the moment we put it on her head we could tell she loves it!

We went out to eat to celebrate (by the way, I just have to say that Red Robin is the most wonderful, allergy-friendly restaurant to eat at! We can't wait to go back!).  Hannah was so super happy the whole time and she talked non-stop through our meal :)

At one point when she wasn't looking at me I said, "Hannah!" in quite a low voice.  In a busy, loud restaurant, she heard me, turned right to look at me and said with a big smile, "What?!?"  It was an awesome moment!  Her hearing is so much better and she can locate where the sound is coming from now where before she would look around a lot to find where it came from.

Nathan got fitted for a new ear mold for one hearing aid as well and then there will hopefully not be any more audiology appointments for quite a while!  We are so thankful for our wonderful audiologist who has worked for so long to get Hannah her BAHAs.  What a great week for our girl and for us!
