Alphabet

It might seem as though we've fallen off the face of the Earth, but I assure you we have not.  What with the end of school for me {YAY!!!!!!!}, Noah's scope and decanulation {Double YAY!!!!!}, and both of my brothers and their families in town {tripple YAY!!!}, it has been a world wind of activity. 

Noah continues to do quite well post-decanulation.  We have had no major issues so far {knock on wood} and are loving the freedom of not having to lug his suction machine around with us wherever we go.  Bub's little stoma {hole} is slowly closing.  And I do mean s.l.o.w.l.y.  We were told it could take up to six months to close and that almost 50% need some surgery to fully close.  EEK!  We're trying to keep it covered with large band-aids {Noah HATES this} but fortunatily Mr. Man has not tried to stick his finger {or anything else, for that matter} in his "blow hole".  You'll see it in a few of the pictures that follow.

Bubs has been working hard on learning all his letters {uppercase that is}.  He can now recognize their oral name, pick them out in print, and can sign all twenty-six letters.  Here he is showing you a few of his favorites.

Notice the lack of quality of the photographs.  I took these...Kc is at work...sorry.  I promise to post more often now that school is out...we've got loads of plans this summer...should be a blast!
