Cruising right along...

 

Car-car-

Christmas is around the corner, and we took some extra time to grab some cute pics of you in a Christmas outfit that I'm sure you are already too big for. You've been scooting and crawling around for a couple weeks now. You aren't that fast yet, but if there's something you want, you find a way to get it. The adorable thing is that you are doing this cute right foot out, then left knee crawl thing. School says they've seen you "crawl-crawl" around a little bit just this week. 

Other big news this week, we received your genetic testing report in the mail. We were kind of expecting this, but the report revealed that you do not have the Connexin 26 mutation. The good news is that the likeliness of you passing on a dominant hearing loss gene to your children is pretty small, but it also means we still don't know the cause of your hearing loss. Daddy and I aren't too interested in getting to bottom of the cause; so we don't plan to do any further testing, but we'll fully support you when you are older if you want to order a more robust genetic test. Daddy and I are just happy you are developing just fine, and your special ears are just one more thing that makes you unique. :)

Stay tuned for Christmas pics and your 8 month birthday!

Love you, 

Momma
