Spring is here

In March we took Ethan for a follow up appointment at the cleft clinic at Pgh Children's. They are pleased with his progress. Dr.Jiang wanted to wait until he is 2years old to see him again. If he is speaking well they would not revise his palate. His only words right now are MaMa and other sounds like UhOh, UhHuh. He loves to engage people and is outgoing, but he depends on his signs mainly to communicate.

We then spent hours in the ENT clinic having Ethan's tubes evaluated. They believed that one of the tubes may be blocked, but after seeing the ENT here in Warren we are still not sure it is. They also did a hearing test which turned out normal, good news. It was great that we had a hotel room booked, we didn't get out of the hospital until almost 6 pm and we had arrived at noon. The next day we had fun at the Childrens Museum before heading for home.








The kids playing with their new stuff on Easter Sunday.


One of our friends pointed out that the last entry had snow pictures! Spring has arrived and we are really enjoying the blooming flowers and trees. Ethan loves to play outside. He will get his shoes and sign the word play. I took the kids to a nearby hiking trail to get some outside pictures, I have yet to take the 3 of them to a studio for pictures, its on my to do list.
