Picnic In The Park
We went to the “Picnic In The Park” today for Lifes Little Treasures annual christmas get together. It was a great day but damn hot! We spoke to a few of the mum and dads there and it is amazing some of the stories you hear about their premature babies.
Ronan had a blast as “Mr Hoover” was going around to everyones rugs and sat patiently waiting for food. I nick named him hoover a few months ago because whenever we are at prem playgroup he is always looking around for food! I have to say that is it quite embarrassing seeing him do it because it looks like i never feed him (although his weight doesn’t make him look underfed) yet whenever we go somewhere he always has a feed before we go.
The most embarrassing part about today was that he went up to a little girl who was eating a chip and he took it off her, i couldn’t believe it. She of course screamed, he got into trouble from mum (me) so he started crying and i made sure he gave the chip back before he was able to put it into his mouth. I was not his most favourite person in the world when i told him that it was bad manners to take food from other people.
One exciting development today was this afternoon i grabbed his hands to make him stand up. He stood up so i let go (first time i have done that) and he stood standing on his own with NO support for 8 seconds! I have never seen him balance like that before which was just fantastic. I still believe he is months off from walking but to me that was another milestone reached.

Haha, this story gave me a giggle! Mr Hoover is definitely a boy who knows what he wants
And the photo attached is a great one Jules - Ronan is smiling for a photo, yay! Looks like such a big boy too.

Hi:
I’m happy that your little guy will have his tonsils out. My niece had a similar condition. The surgery did help her sleep through the night better. On word of caution- make sure the surgeon is experienced! They nicked something (not the vocal cords but something) and after the surgery my niece’s voice had changed drastically. I kept telling my sister that it is not normal for a voice to change after the surgery and when she took Shae back in they offered to go back and repair it.
I just wanted you to know about this so that you can discuss this with your doctor before the surgery.
Good Luck
