Hearing aides, snow in GA...



Hi,sorry I don't update on here very often. It is hard with having the little ones to care for, and I have not been in the best of health myself lately.
Anyway... Auriana got loner hearing aides a few weeks ago, through GA PINES! As soon as we put them on her it was very evident that she is hearing new sounds!! I was playing with her and she clapped her hands, then she tilted her head a second, thought about it, and clapped her hands again... then looked at her hands and did it again, as she just smiled and was so excited that she could hear herself clap! Later, I blew her a kiss and she looked at me strangely for a second then she made a "kiss" sound and her face just lit up!! Apparently she could not hear these things, that we take for granted, before the hearing aids. I think she is going to be saying new words before we know it. I was reading her little book to her earlier and I signed "book" and said "book", just as I always do... she looked up at me and signed "book" and repeated "boo"...I said "yes book!"... she wants so badly to speak and I just know this is going to help!


Also, we got about 4-5 inches of SNOW!!!!! Kylee loved playing in it!! Auriana was a little unsure at first, but warmed up to it the second day we took her in it and had a little fun tasting it and touching it!! It is not often that we get snow around here, so this was a lot of fun!!
Here are a couple of videos of the girls in the snow!!
