Wanda's Awesomeness

I'm too lazy for pics.  If I think I need a pic for every post, I won't post much. 
Not a lot is new since last week...Micah has a new friend at Ms. Rachael's, Jaden.  He'll be 3 next month.  I think it's really helping her adjust now that she has a playmate.  She is still really ornery though...yesterday she got in BIG BIG BIG trouble because she locked Ms. Rachael out of the house!  Luckily her hubs was inside, but he was sleeping.  So she had to bang on his window to get him to come let her in.  Poor Ms. Rachael.  Then this evening Micah tried to stick her finger in a pot of boiling water on the stove!  I think my heart stopped for a second.  I tried to convey to her how BAD of an idea that is...hopefully she got the picture.
Tate had his 9 month check up today...all looks good except his ears.  They didn't really look bad (not infected), but they still had fluid on them.  His weight was 21lbs, 4oz, which is between 50 and 75th percentile.  I'm not surprised, since he hasn't been eating well since his ears have been bothering him.  Plus I read somewhere that breastfed babies typically slow down in their growth around this time.  His height is still 90th percentile--29 1/2 inches.  And of course, his head was 90th percentile as well.  He is definitely growing like a weed!  After that, we went to see the ENT to talk about tubes for his ears.  He did okay on the hearing test, until the last, lowest pitch.  He didn't hear it.  The audiologist said that's pretty normal for having fluid on the ears.  The Dr. said too, that since he's got fluid and has had 4 infections in 3 months that he is definitely in favor of tubes.  Yes!!  I'm sick of Tate not sleeping well and being on all kinds of antibiotics.  That's no fun at all.  The last one he was on (Augmentin), caused his reflux to worsen and diarrhea bad enough to make his little chunky bottom raw.  We had to get a prescription ointment and discontinue the Augmentin halfway through.  Poor kid.  We are scheduled for May 11, so we'll just have to hang in there till then!
On another note, Tate and I are going to Dallas May 14-16.  We got a super cheap airline ticket, and I'm stoked!  Jake and Micah were gonna go too, but we will have no one to dog/house sit for us.  So we decided to give Micah a Daddy-daughter weekend while Tate and I go visit Emily, Jillian, Charlotte, Amy, and Emory!  Poor Tate, he'll be the only dude!
