34 WEEKS

Cooper turned 34 weeks on Thursday!!  Friday we went to Hot Spring to see Dr. Vallery, an ENT, about Coop's multiple ear infections.  He was wonderful!  We really liked him.  He took one look in his ears and knew immediately that he needed tubes.  He said he has what they call glue ear because he has so much build up in there.  Even after being on antibiotics for 20 days, his ears were still infected.  Poor thing :(  He said most kids grow out of having ear infections but the main thing it can do now is cause problems with his speech development. He said he can hear but he what he hears is muffled.  He also said after the tubes are placed to not be surprised if he acts scared because he is going to hear things so much clearer and louder and it can startle him.  Crazy!  So we are scheduled to have it done this coming Thursday.  I'm a little nervous about them having to put him to sleep, but everyone I've talked to has said its a quick and easy procedure, so that has made me feel better.  So pray for us this week that everything goes smoothly! :)

 Snotty face! His poor little nose is always running

 Silly boy!

 I think he is going to crawl any day. He gets on all fours but he hasn't moved forward yet

Love that sweet face
