It has been awhile since i posted pics of the Baby so here are some new ones. I tryed to get them to be the right way but it would not do it. Xander has been growing like a weed. He is almost 7 months and weighs probably 16 or more pounds. he is so chubby.
We have been working with the ladys from the Deaf and Blind School hoping to get Xander to comunicate somehow. He did get his hearing aides which i hope will help. things are going well and he is so much fun

This the light box that we use to help him with his eyes.

This is a little orange Yarn ball that we try to get hi to grab onto but he does not really like to.

This is a pic of one of his hearing aides. they are so little.

This is another of the light box and toys to see how well he responds to different things

He loves the swing. he could chill in that thing all day.

We have had a fun couple of months. we went to Anderson Meadows with my family for 4 days and it was so much fun. we just sat around and did nothing it was great. i was worried about Xander and whether or not he would be OK up in the mountains but he did so well. he only woke us up a couple of times. i think he was the warmest one up there. This is Tyson one of my cute little nephews. he wanted to go swimming but it was so cold.

This is Kaub my other cute nephew. he did not care that it was cold he wanted to get wet and play.

This is one of many of the squirrels that came to visit our camp. he peeked at us through the whole in the tree.

Sleeping Xander.

All bundled up. it was cold and raining for 2 days so he was bundled up in allot of clothes. but he was warm

Fun In The Sun

today was fun. we took Xander to the water park with the family. i did not have the camera so i did not get any pics but it was fun. i put his feet in the water and he hated it. i knew he would because he hates the bath tub.

Things are going great at our house. we are starting to meet eith the deaf and blind school and early intervention to help Xander. we hope he will get his hearing aides soon so that we might be able to get started on that part. everything else looks good so all we can do is enjoy him and help him grow.

we will be taking him on his first camping trip so hopefully things will be ok.

Xander Kenneth Blakeley

5 months

isn't he so cute. he is about 13 pounds now and probably 22 in long. he is getting so big

it has been a long couple of weeks but things are looking better. we finally got the new carpet in the basement so i can start putting things back where they belong. the foundation is done so tony can begin building soon

We took a trip up to the cabin (Xanders first time) and had so much fun. the dogs were not sure what to do because the water was so high that they could not go in very far. all in all it was a good day. it did not start to rain until we left so that was good. things are great here at our house we are just taking life a day at a time.

It has been a really long and hard week. we finally got the footings pored for the addition on our house which is great. However the guy that came and pumoed the cement hooked up his house to our house and flooded the basement. i would like to blame it on him but it was not his fault. he didn't know that it was broken. in fact neither did we. SURPRISE!!!! just what i always wanted 2 inches of water in my basement. so that started out a wonderful weekend. we had a disaster cleanup company come and dry it out but we are not sure what the final damages are. we know that the laminate flooring has to be replaced and possibly the carpet. I will fnd out tomorrow when the guy comes. we ended up spending the night at my moms on Saturday night because we did not want the chemicals they sprayed to cause any problems with Xander. Saturday night was really long because Xander did not sleep at all. he was having a bad night. we went to church with my parents and then spent the rest of the day there. we took a trip to the Cemetaries to visit and remember our Family. Monday we headed to Logan to help my sis Leslie and hubby Colby pack up there house so that they would be ready to move on fri. it was a fun but long day. it was Memorial Day so we went to the park and had dinner. we finally got home about 9:00 and we were completley exausted. Xander didn't sleep well at all last night either so it was a crappy night. come to find out the pour guy has an ear infection and that is why he is upset.

Hopefully things will get better this week. i am truly hating living in a mess so i hope we can get the basement fixed soon. Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day. I just wanted to take a second to remember my Miracle Kaison, Love you Buddy and miss you tonz. we will see you again someday. We love you with all our Hearts. love Mom, Dad & Xander

So it is the end of the month and i am finally getting around to another post.


Things are going well. Not much happens at our house. We are finally getting started on the addition to our house. thay are coming today to pour concrete. YEAH!!!!
Xander is doing well, he is about 11 lbs now and is so cute. (i will post pics soon)
we did find out that he has some hearing but it is very little. we will be fitting him for a hearing aide soon to see if that might help. if not then we will have to look into a cochlear implant. things are looking more positive as he gets bigger and stronger. so far so good right! he is f 4 moths now and is so cute.
hope everyone has a good holiday weekend.
Have a good Memorial Day.
