Up To Speed

Now that I have officially moved into the 2012 on the blog, I need to get y'all "Up to Speed" on Jude Dude and Sweet Pea.


First of all, we had Aubrey Lane's hearing checked before Christmas and no problems were found.  She'll have to have her hearing checked about every six months until she's about five or six just for precaution.


She also made five months the week of Christmas, but I have shamefully been to busy to do a post about it.  She is doing all kind of fun things: babbling, rolling over, trying to sit up, standing and jumping, laughing and squealing, razzing, and just being a little love bug.  We started her on cereal and introduced the cup... umm that hasn't been so fun, but she'll get it.


Onto the Jude Dude- he had a sleep study last week.  We will find out the results of it in the next month or so.  We are praying that Jude can finally come off the night time oxygen.  Do you know how wonderful it would be to go somewhere without oxygen concentrators or tanks??  


Yesterday, Jude saw his GI specialist and we adjusted his tube feedings again.  He has been doing significantly better with his eating- although, we have had to bribe him with bubbles.  We are claiming now, that Jude will be completely independent from the use of his tube in 2012!  I can and will happen!  


And Jude starts school back this month.  WOOHOO!  I know that sounds mean but any mom of a very active and attached four year old can understand this.  I'm not saying that I want to get rid of him; he just requires a lot, I mean a whole lot of attention lately and gets pretty bratty when we don't stop everything we're doing for him.  ;-)  Typical four year old, eh?


Well, I think that's it for now!  


Hope you are having a great New Year!
