fixin' the flat

We heard back from insurance and yes I will more than likely being going over my minutes this month due to being on hold for a total of 70min the other day. Over the course of those 70min I think I spoke to someone for all of 3min and was told to call back the next day (Tuesday).

Well yesterday (Tuesday) they called me and told me their decision. And that is that they won't cover because Ian's head is not severe enough. Oh and the first time we heard back from insurance and they said no because it's experimental/investiongation that was for the scanning procedure. They think you should instead take a ruler, yes the long straight stick located in your laundry room or hall closet to get the measurements. Seems very accurcate when you are trying to measure a head that has some roundness to it. Both items are being appealed.

Ian has his molding appt. next week in which they will take a mold of his noggin and send it down to FL. where they will make the reshaper. And when we get back from vacay it will be waiting for us.

foursquare

Alright if your on facebook then you may have seen some of your friends posts that they have checked in somewhere it's called foursquare. Now, I'm trying to figure out the purpose of this tracking app. as I feel like I'm following a UPS package, but alas it's a real person that is being tracked.

By being on FB we are already putting ourselves out there. We have all seen the news someone posts "headed to the concert" and someone sees this knows where they live and yep they break in. So now with foursquare someone could do some major tracking and be able to figure out your daily routine know exactly where you work, workout, eat, shop, etc and before you know it you are a victim. Because not only does foursquare say you've arrived somewhere but they also supply you with a map with your said location.

What are your thoughts on this human tracking app?

playdate

Basically any toy they each had the other wanted

Nicholas showed Ian how he does a face plant

Ian offering comfort to Nicholas as he too is familiar with that trick

Nicholas likes to talk with his hands

Ian doesn't beleive any of it though

jump around

door trim has been installed temporarily just so our lil boy can jump. Spackling and painting the living room and kitchen (or at least the doorway area) has been put back on the to do list.

I admit...

It's time for some confessions on here.

I admit to the following:

*using Ian's exersaucer as a my cup holder when he's not in it. I'm dreading the day we collapse it and pack it away because he has outgrown it.

*being ready for fall, I mentioned this to Marcus this past weekend and he said "no, you just want to wear your fall wardrobe" yep he knows me.

*Football season to kick off, when you live in a college town that bleeds blue and gold it's hard not to get football fever.

*Usually in route to changing Ian's diaper I will take a peek to see what it is I'm up against. You never know when you move onto solids what you're gonna get.

*Excitement explodes from me when I think about cake pops I will be making these for tailgates, holiday's, Ian's b-day, and pretty much anytime in which I hear the words "bring a dish to pass".

*Seeing the movie "The Dairy of a Wimpy Kid" and even laughed at certain parts.

*To being the proud owner of a orchid color camera (Marcus insists it's pink) let me remind you again it was a GOOD DEAL!!!

*That if given the choice of a skirt or shorts to wear I will pick the skirt.

*Often thinking about disowning our dogs.

Stella Rose

Remember when I wrote about this.


Well...how about we don't waste anymore time.

I have yet to meet Miss Stella I took the picture from FB.

7mos

Are we really only 5mos away from being 1? This past month has been just as fun and great as the last 7mos.


Here's what you've been up to this past month:

*bye bye infant carrier hello convertible car seat, you're loving the extra room to stretch out. Only now when you fall asleep on our way to wherever it is we are headed we have to wake you:(

*you have discovered how to stick your tongue and blow it's very cute except when you have food in your mouth and the food comes flying at me.

*standing and jumping and on our laps is one of your favorite things to do. Even when we are carrying you, your legs keep moving.

*You rolled over on Thursday 7/22 once in the AM for me and once in the PM for daddy. You have since rolled over everyday from your tummy to your back. You're right on track for your gestational age.

*we try to go in your pool on my days off and weather permitting, you love to splash around. This love for splashing in the pool has transferred to the bath tub

*you are still a great baby, don't get me wrong you have your moments they just don't happen very often.

*you love your food so far you have had: butternut squash, yellow squash, zucchini, asparagus, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, strawberries, bananas, peaches, spinach, apples, yogurt, plums, and apricots.

*the skill of sitting has pretty much been mastered, although you have yet to figure out how to get yourself in the sitting position without assistance. And every once in a while you do tip over or forward. You do love a good sit though.

*you are capable of reaching for us and things, when you are in your stationary entertainment center (aka ADD training center) and crying (due to sensory overload) we will come to you and you will stick your arms up for us. When on the floor with your toys, instead of going to your toys you pull the blanket that the toys are on to you!! Smart boy.
