Trip to the beach


This past Memorial Day weekend we went to Grandpa & CC's house in Gulf Shores. It was great to see them again. They both could not believe how big Connor had gotten....Neither can we!!

Grandpa had a blast feeding Connor breakfast. And as we all know, Connor loves to eat!




Ready to head out to the Beach!!



Connor's first time putting his feet in the sand. He seemed to like it.
But he didn't like what was coming up next....


It was probably the temperature of the water (It was pretty chilly) but Connor didn't enjoy his feet getting wet. But we're at the beach so we have to get wet somewhere right???



He loved spending time in his pool and playing with all of the inflatable toys.

Floating in the lagoon was just ok. But this was the first time we have ever floated.

Thanks Grandpa and CC. We had a great time on our first trip to the beach!!

First Post - Connor's Headband Hearing Aid

We figured this would be a good place for everyone to keep up with Connor's progress.


  As most of you know he has gotten his hearing aid headband. 




He's been doing really great with it.  Only every now and then when he is tired, he will pull it down off of his head.  

To update those who may not know about his headband, he now has audio responses that are in line with other babies his age.  Most children have a speech recognition rating of 0-15 decibels.  With his new hearing aid, Connor has a rating of 5 decibels!  He hears all sounds of the English level at a normal level now. 

Once the hearing aid was placed behind his ear, Connor's eyes got wide and he looked around for all the new sounds he was hearing.  It was a touching moment to know that he won't miss out on anything now.

I've attached photo of his new accessory.  To me, he looks like a little basketball player with a
sweatband.

Also, we received good results from the Craniofacial Clinic earlier this week.  All of the specialists examined Connor and believe that he has no other health problems.
