Children's Museum Pictures

uh-oh....

I'll have to post pictures another day, but real quick I wanted to write about Aubrey's favorite new word..."uh-oh" He pretty much practiced it all day long today. It's pretty darn cute and he says it in the right context too. We went to TCH this morning for a follow up appointment with the clubfoot clinic, all looks good in that regards. No changes right now. His feet have great range of motion and we still have to put him in the shoes at night. That won't change until age three. yipee! After our quick appointment my mom and I took Aubrey to the Tot Spot at the Children's Museum. It was a great day to do something besides work! Aubrey seemed to really enjoy himself there. It's perfect for the little kids...all under age three, with no big kids to run them over. We had lunch there and played outside for a bit. We got some cute pictures, although he was constantly looking around that alot of them include only the side of his face.

Other new words "nana" (banana) "hi" "mama" (but only if he's really sad) "shoes" "nanana" (no no no) "gog" (dog) "dada" or "daddy" and I swear this morning he said "strawberry" and the other day "glasses" I love to hear him beginning to use more words. Okay, gotta head out to bed!

Aeros Game

For Christmas we took, Grandpa Jim to the Aeros Game. Here are some pictures of the game.

1st Surgery.....

Aubrey had pressure equalizing tubes (PE Tubes) put in his ears this morning. It was a super quick out patient surgery done by his ENT at Tomball Surgery Center. This was our first surgery experience and I was just a tad bit nervous. Luckily it went really well. We got him up just as we had to leave at 6am, picked up grandma Debbie and headed to the hospital. We got to his room right away and the they had us get him in a little hospital gown. He looked super cute and really had a great attitude. I think he signed "milk" once just as it was getting closer to surgery time, so I was thankful when they came to get him and he really made it easy on me, reaching out for one of the female nurses! No crying baby reaching out for me!!! We went to the waiting room, hung out for about 15 minutes and got a great report from the Dr. He had thick fluid sucked out of his left ear, the right ear was clear and tubes put it in, with no problems. Shortly thereafter we went to find him in the recovery area. He was groggy and a bit grumpy. He fussed when we put him in the car, but luckily Grandma was able to hush him to sleep. When we got home, he had a full bottle and got up and started to play. Wow!! That was easy and I'm hoping the rest of the day continues to go well. He's taking his 2nd nap for the day right now. We are hoping the tubes help Aubrey feel better and not get ear infections every time he gets congested. We'll see how things progress.....but we sure our thankful today ended up being such an easy day!

Now and Then.....

Here are a few pictures to show how much our little man has changed since this time last year. It's truly amazing!

Here he is just last week, holding his orthotic shoes that he wears only at night.

Here he is with a serious face hanging out in his bouncy seat.

You can see some of his blue casting. I guess it looks like pants.

This was the last set of casts that he had before he was fitted for the orthotic shoes.
