MY BABY JUST POOPED IN THE POTTY!!!!

Too stinkin' HOT to be outside

We haven't been too busy this summer. It's just too stinkin' hot to get out and have fun! Landen doesn't do well with the heat and having asthma doesn't help the situation. We went outside the other night (at almost 8pm) and we were out maybe 30 minutes cleaning out his pool and taking a wagon ride around the yard. He was pouring sweat so we went inside...about 20 minutes later....the throwing up began. He just gets over heated and then starts vommiting. Needless to say, we won't be going out until winter! :)

Other great news...

We got the results back from his MRI and he DOES NOT need the decompression surgery...yet...and we hope he won't EVER need it. Now I am just crossing my fingers that next week Shriners visit goes well. (He has CMG, CT head, Ultrasound scheduled) I'm hoping there is no reflux and we won't have to cath yet.

We FINALLY finished our homestudy through DSS minus the final fire inspection that will be completed in 2 wks. Now we can start looking through some profiles and see what that leads to! :)  Exciting and stressful time! We are ready for our family to grow again and their are SOOO many children that need loving homes. God has blessed us with 3 amazing children and we are thrilled to see what else He has in store for us.

Last but not least~ We found a speech therapist that will be coming to our house to start VITAL STIM TODAY!!! She will come 3 days a week for the Vital Stim and she'll also come for speech therapy!  This is certainly the best news we have gotten! Now I can see the future without a feeding tube! hip hip hooray! :)

Here are a few pictures of what's been going on...inside the house.

Landen likes to be "work" on his train with his tools. He basically just hammers all over! :)

Monkey LOVES to eat some grits! He makes a huge mess, but what fun is it if you don't make a mess? It just tastes so much better when messes are made!

Landen loves to "boo-boo" on the potty! Although he has never pooped in the potty, he did however pee when daddy was taking this picture...hence the big thumbs up!!! He usually sits on the potty before bath time in the am and pm. His potty training will not be like every other toddler his age. His will eventually consist of catherizing on a timed schedule. In the meantime though, we will sit him on the potty as much as he wants!

Nap time! This is where we end up both during nap time and bed time or even in the middle of the night. Who needs a bed when we have a floor :)

Sis and monkey watching tv from our bed. He sure does love his sissy!!
