We got into our own house.
Pop asked Mom what he could do and she told him to get us a house and
get his mojo working. And that's just what he did!

I got 3 more teefff. Now I
can really get with those pork chops! (don't know what those are, maybe
it is related to that rain thing...)

I had to go to Dr. Stowe's today. I was
running a high fever and Mom wanted me checked out. She thought I sounded
like I might be congested too. Found out I had an ear infection and
another infection in my upper respitory area. Dr. Stowe gave Mom some
prescriptions for me and I got a nebulizer. I really like my Mrs. Dr.
Krenie!

Mom gave me some regular
oatmeal today. It is Maple with Brown Sugar flavor. She says it's the
instant kind, but it wasn't very instant when she was making it. I was
hollering and hollering, but no one got things going any faster!

Today I tried to get to my
tummy. Momma was on the floor with me, cheering and banging the carpet.
I don't know what all the fuss was about, I was just trying to get to my
stomach so I could grunt really loud and roll to my back again.... Grown
Ups!

Got my hearing tested
today. I had to see a spesulist (?) and she stuck this funny stick in my
ears and Mom said "Oh my goodness, look at all that gunk coming out
of his ears!" Didn't they know I was trying to keep some for
playing with later on?????
Anyhow, the audiologist (getting
pretty good with these fancy names, huh?) said I had a mild to moderate
hearing loss. My cochlea (rain again?) was find and my ear drum was
fine. They fitted me for hearing aids. I'm not telling no one, but I
ain't turning them on. I got this 'IG' thing down pat!

I got my hearing aids today!
Boy does everything sound different. Mom and Dad had to talk quieter to
me because I would flinch every time they said something to me. I'm not
real crazy about these things, but I do like hearing all the new sounds!

My brother Curtis, my sister Terria and my cousins Diantre and Deshawn came down for a visit. They were funny! I think I got Curtis and Terria in my back
pocket...shhhhh don't tell anyone.

Momma and Miss Lucy said I got big bumps on my gums. Like I didn't know - I got teeth coming in, did they think my gums would stay flat??? When I get in school I'm gonna have to educate these big folks that us little folks know a thing or two. And whadda ya know, a tooth pops through. Momma said it's on my top upper jaw. All I know is, it hurts - where's the OraJel mom???????????????????

I'm finally going to get my school thing going! The ladies, Miss Kenda and Miss from the school district came to see me. They played with me and I had fun! When I turn 3 they said I could go to school full time. Oh boy! Other kids will be there so I know I'm gonna have fun...
I also got my AFO's this month. They look like batman boots. I don't mind them for
chillin' around the house, but don't even think about me walking in these things. I got it made - you think I'm not paying attention???

I got my wheels!!!! The man from National Seating delivered my gait trainer and he had my wheely too! I like my wheely - I'm not so crazy about my gait trainer though. I think I'm tough enough to let these foolish people know what I like and what I don't like. And they are just going to have to deal with it! {*grin*}

We got a new house! Yep, Pop found a really neat one and I get to play in the living room now. If ya come by, I'll probably be there, just
chillin' and keeping the folks in line.

Well, I had to give in. Mom and I were in the kitchen. I was in my gait trainer. She was trying to get me to take some steps. I did. I took 5 just so's she'd calm down and boy did she get happy! She started laughing and I started laughing and before you know it, she's calling pop on the phone and he's laughing.... I don't know what was so funny, but I had a good time anyhow. Now I guess they'll expect me to do that all the time. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. I can still
'ig' 'em tho......................

I met my hearing teacher from
the school district last week. Her name is Tina Perry. She used to work
with Amber. Isn’t that cool??? She is really nice. She came today with Ms
Kenda and they brought me a new toy. It's called a resonance board. I
don't know what all the fuss is about. It's a piece of wood and they lay
me on it. Feels kinda strange though. I can kick it and I feel it in my
head. Is this like that rain thing?

We went to Mrs. Dr. Krenie's
for Thanksgiving. Gramma & Grampa Walker and Auntie Peggy went with us. I
ate some of Mrs. Dr. Krenie’s whipped sweet potatoes – Yum! Yum! We had a
good time!
December 10, 2003
Went to a Christmas Party at
Aldine ISD. Ms Tina and Ms Kenda were there too! I saw some real pretty
trees, real live animals and lots of other kids!

Momma started giving me Fish
oil. It's supposed to have lots of good stuff that helps my brain. She
squirted the capsule in my mouth and BOY did it taste BAD!!! I was not a
happy boy at all! She figured out that if she puts it in my strawberry
PediaSure, I can't taste it or smell it. Thank goodness she did that! She
is giving me 850 mg/every other day. On Christmas day she started giving
it to me every day.
December 24, 2003
Went to Rick and Jessie
Reynolds, Aunt Lisa's folks, for Christmas Eve. Gramma and Grampa were
there. And Uncle Chad, Aunt Lisa and Michael, Jesse and Tiffany. Auntie
Peggy was there too! There were lots of other folks there too. They were
Aunt Lisa's brother and sisters and nieces and nephews.
December 29, 2003
I laughed at the musical mirror
Uncle Chad and Aunt Lisa gave me. Mom and Pop got so excited! Before my
Speech Therapist went on holiday vacation she asked Mom to fix me up a big
mirror and she did. I didn't think a whole lot about it but now - wow! I
can see me and the window and everything! It's soooo cool!
