a little bit of everything....

I decided Monday nite, that it was time to cut aden of the binkie! I put him to bed as usual, without the binkie. He cried for maybe 5 minutes, and he was out! Didn't wake up at all during the nite. He also woke up Tuesday morning, smiling and laughing! I loved it!! He did great all day Tuesday without it, all though nap time was a little more harder, he did finally get a nap! But I think we have successful have a grown baby boy! Who no longer depends on a bottle or binkie!! WOOHOO!! I've been wanting to get rid of it for so long, but Tony wanted him to have it, so he could still be our baby boy! On the other note, we went in for our evaluation results, regarding Aden's hearing. They did another hearing test on him, and he is much like Tony, he produces way to much wax, so they couldn't get a clear reading. So we took him back, and he passed!! He's not deaf!! He just doesn't want to talk! We did notice some other things, like he always has his mouth open, and he drools, but that's due to teething. And they are going to have a speech pathologist come and work with Aden twice a month, to see if we can start to get other sounds coming out of him. And in the Fall we are going to attend a workshop and it's "Too can Talk" and it will help us with out next baby and what we can do, early on, to help them with talking and having a conversation with them! It's a 10 week course, but they all said it is well worth it. So now we just have to get it off work, so we can go. I'm pretty excited about it. And we've decided to trade Tony's truck in, hopefully in the next couple months. It's not family friendly for us. Aden has to sit in the middle, the car seat won't fit on the side's comfortably. We're going to get something that can hold 6, if we need it too. I would love extra seats, but 6 would be fine. Just in case we have to travel with someone else, and are limited to cars, they can ride with us and have room!
