I wonder what face daddy is making...

 

We attempted a photography session with our bunch this morning. There were a few okay shots, though none were quite in focus. We will try a little later today, outside, where I think the light will be better.

6 weeks!

 

Patrick is 6 weeks old and getting so big. I haven't weighed him recently, but I suspect he's around 11 pounds already. He sleeps well and is a very happy, peaceful baby. We are so blessed to have him in ou family!

Patrick has reddish hair. I'm not sure where he got that from, but it will probably become brown/dark brown eventually.

Poor little guy! He's had a double ear infection for a long time and we've just found out about it. :-(

Patrick's visit with the otolaryngologist

Today Patrick met with an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor for further evaluation. First the staff audiologist tested Patrick's hearing and asked some questions. He failed all the hearing tests. The ENT looked in his hears and couldn't see anything so he cleaned them out a bit. He found very thick fluid and an ear infection. We now a script for antibiotics in the hopes that this will help clear up the fluid in his ears before his hearing test on Dec. 4th.

Patrick's hearing

Patrick did not pass his followup hearing test this morning. He even managed to fail it in the other ear, which we thought was okay. I'm not quite sure what all this means, but it is possible that there is something blocking his ear drum (both of them) or that he has has some type of hearing loss. Say a prayer that we get some answers soon!

UPDATE: I scheduled him for a Tonal ABR (auditory brainstem response) which is a more thorough test on his inner ear. The test will give us a better idea what is going on with his hearing.

UPDATE 2: He is going to see a Pediatric ENT tomorrow, so I hope to have more answers then. The other appointment is not until the beginning of December.

Funny hat, happy baby

 

I haven't been able to coax Patrick to smile for the camera. I can get smiley pictures when he is looking in the mirror or at his daddy but as soon as he sees the camera, Mr. Grumpy shows up and there is no smile. However, I put this funny winter hat on his head and he immediately smiled.

I tried editing the earlier photo. Not sure if I like the result, but I haven't really done much editing before.

Happy Halloween!








We dressed the kids up this year and went to a Halloween Parade, followed by a festival and later, a party. The kids had lots of fun in costume and enjoyed getting candy from strangers. Anna dressed up as Elmo (of course!) and Isaac was Spiderman and Caroline was a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Patrick was a pod of peas, but he wore his costume for only a few minutes.
