....has his hearing aids! He got them on Monday and is a new little guy! It is so fun to see the change in him. He is lots louder (if that is possible), all of his toys thrill him 'cause, hey, they do make noise, he listens while I play the piano and sing, he is VERY quiet while Derrick whistles him songs, the TV has new meaning, and he takes turns talking with us instead of never giving us a chance to say anything. :) He doesn't seem to mind them, though the doctor said it is usually not until 6 months that he would have the coordination to pull on his ears. Hopefully by then we will be used to them and won't have a problem there. We were worried how Mialee would be with them, but for the most part she leaves them alone. She calls them his bandaids for his ears. She gets really close to him and then talks really loud.
He continues to love playing with toys and rolling over. He is a proud eater of rice cereal and squash. We call him our sumo wrestler; that kid can down the food!
Mialee has decided it is okay for poo to go into the toilet, so yeah, we are just about done with diapers for her! I will not get up at night and take her potty, so she still is in them then. She is full of new sayings and thinks she knows everything. When it is time for a bath or dinner or to clean up she says: "No Mama, it is not time to....." She got a chalk board easle from her Nana that she is loving. We keep it up in our living room and she frequently tells Nathan to watch her as she draws smily faces and writes letters of the Mialee alphabet. She loves to draw and paint and dance.
That's all. Derrick will post a picture soon.

Thats so cute! I'm so glad he likes to listen to you guys and his toys. Paisley hates all of her toys because she always see's them, I think I need to hide some for a while and we might need to get a few more. We are dying to see pictures!! Oh yeah, how does Nathan sleep now that he can hear and be interupted?
We take his hearing aids out when he sleeps. When he turns his head he lays on them and it may be uncomfortable, and by the end of the day the tubes sometimes have moisture in them. We take them apart each night, clean them, and let them air out. Works great, he hears when he needs to and doesn't when he doesn't need to. :)
He is lucky. Dad says that is the advantage to being hard of hearing. When he wants to hear, he wears his hearing aids, otherwise he doesn't. The pictures are very cute and we are so happy things are going well.
