A Visit From Grandma and Pop

It's been a big few weeks with a long awaited visit from Grandma and Pop. We had a blast esp. Rocky who had playmates 24/7 and so much for a holiday for Mum Dad, I think they went home exhausted. They were in bed nearly every night before us and we were up before them!! Ha ha, yes, little boys wear you out. Unfortunately, during the course of the week I got sick and now Rocky has ended up with a little cold. It's kind of a double edged sword. The Dr's say although Rocky's T Cell count is only 25%, his function is normal, and so they think he'll be able to fight it off. We are keeping a very close eye on it and although it's worrying to see him have a cold, it will be exciting when (yes, I'm being optimistic!!) he eventually fights it off. All signs good so far with things not getting worse, no temps etc. Rocky has loved it as he been able to sleep with his Dad every night! If it wasn't for the cough, I'd say he's milking it a bit ; ) It's been very cold here, so we've stayed inside, not being very adventurous at all as we all want to get better.

Rocky still has stuff going on with his hearing, so he has finally been fitted with a bone conducting hearing aid and when you look at the pictures, you'll now know, it's not some funky new trend (altho he may end up being some kind of fashion muse), or some crazy mum deciding to put a headband on her son....it's his hearing aid tucked away in there. I have noticed people at the shops sort of looking, and I know they are thinking....I'm sure that's a boy, but he's wearing a headband. I suspect they are feeling the same fear of 'getting it wrong' as when someone asks you if your pregnant or not (and of course, you aren't!) ouch.... or maybe they aren't thinking anything at all, just looking at one very cute little boy...LOL

Grandma & Pop bought Rocky the microphone stand (he's had to use his hand before now, poor deprived child!) and I'm sure you'll agree, he's a natural!! I hope you enjoy the video as much as we did.

Just a quick note (if your reading!!) before we go to give a VERY HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Brooks and Emily on the bith of their beautiful new daughter. We are all thrilled for you.

Keep smilin' everyone : )

With lots of love Amanda, Brett,Rocky xoxoxox
