The adventure begins!

So we're going to be living off base!! Holy cow I know! We've talked to people in the town houses we are going to be living in and they're all American and they all LOVE it so we're really excited about living off! The town house is 3 blocks from the gate and 1 block from a beach! Plus it's only a short walk to the sea wall! We should be moving in next week and then we'll be able to get our Vonage up and working hopefully and give some of y'all a call! :)
Today has been super sunny and HOT! Here are some pics of the area the town house is located in, the beach is a 1 1/2 to 2 minute walk...

Then these are just some random photo's I've taken... I thought the sewer caps were pretty!

Of course the prettiest thing was this little munchkin trying to eat Daddies drink!! :)

Kindergarten!

Well... we've got ourselves a kindergartener! I can't hardly believe it! Time sure does fly by. Keira's Cochlear Implant was finally approved and authorized and we now have ourselves an implant date! Tricare ended up denying her twice and her Dr had to schedule a peer to peer with United healthcare/Tricare. Everything seems to be on track now though. I'll try to keep on top of updating the blog after the implant to show her progress :) K for Kindergarten! :) Pledge of Allegiance at the flag ceremony

7 months post activation

So we are at almost 7 months post activation with Keira's Cochlear Implant. Since the 3rd mapping her vocalizations and attempted words have grown so much! She now wears both her Neptune and her Naida processors. She still prefers the Neptune but she is much more tolerable of her Naida. She is also wearing her hearing aid with her Cochlear implant more and more. She still doesn't tolerate the hearing aid in the car for long periods but she does great at her toddler class and during speech with the aid. She is becoming more and more aware of music and likes to dance now! :) Her sign vocabulary is steadily growing too as is mine! Just the other day during her toddler class she impressed me so much! They take the kids out one at a time and do a "focus" time which is similar to speech and lasts about 15 minutes. We were reading a book with Keira that had flaps and there was a frog and our specialist was telling her "Jump, jump, jump" & Keira picked up the bo...

Successful Surgery!

Keira had her cochlear implant surgery on Thursday! Her surgery went great and they were able to insert the electrode with no problems. So grateful for that! It's always nerve-racking when your baby goes under.... even though we knew she was in great hands with her surgeon you still worry! She was groggy and tired the first day, Friday she started to get her spunk back and by Saturday we were at a ball game! Now we wait for activation day to see how she responds! There will be lots of mapping sessions in the coming months to fine tune the implant. Hopefully she starts responding immediately! At the ball game at Chase Field Family baseball fun! Peyton enjoyed the game much more than Keira... Keira wanted to touch everyone in front of us :/ Car ride home from the hospital with her Melody monkey from Advanced Bionics :) Day prior to surgery Playing with her Melody evening after surgery
