The pirate one (which came in September on pirate day and earned hammy a free box of Krispy Kreme donuts) is a personal favorite. But Hammy being worn out by the Holidays, appearing on the Moebius Conference post card advertising the next conference, and stealing cup cakes aren't bad either. </p>

<p dir="ltr">He may have been disappointed by the statue but I'm not sure because he did keep yelling "Thomah!" at it. Anyway, I don't really remember Hammy loving trains (or Thomas the train) before December when we took him to the Botannical Garden train display. He did not want to leave. Belated pictures below. </p>

Literally. Two of us have had crazy fevers the past week. The flu shot has been 0% effective in our house. Here's what's going on (other than WAY too much PBS kids shows):<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Hammy had his 2 year check up and is doing really well. 35% for height and 60% for weight. He's a chub. Not really. He still looks skinny but is solid. Remember when he didn't eat? We don't either. No wonder his favorite book is the Hungry Catapillar. (Sidenote: he taught US the sign for Catapillar and butterfly. He kept doing the signs so we looked them up and he was correct. Maybe I should watch signing time a little more carefully with him)</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The day after we were at the Dr. he came down with a fever and runny nose. Ugh. Tylenol, we are keeping you in business. The fever would break and then come back. He also wheezed a little and a few days couldn't move. He wasn't even able to push his shopping cart around which was super sad. I thought it would pass every time the fever went away but after the week we went back to the Dr. Hammy had his first ear infection. This all happened the week of Christmas. This appointment was on a Tuesday. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Friday he had a pre-op check up to make sure he would be okay for his mouth surgery on Monday. Luckily the amoxicillin did its job and his ears looked clear and he was fever free. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Saturday Bryson started feeling crummy. Oh dear. Fever. Chills. Body aches. Cough. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Monday Hammy and I left Bryson at home super sick and we went to the hospital for Hammy's surgery. He has to have a frenulectomy. His frenulum under his tongue and upper lip haven't stretched out like they should (due to limited movement) and so for speech, eating, and lip closure it was highly recommended by our SLP, pediatrician, and ENT. Hammy handled it like a champ. I was worried that the surgery was at 10:30 and he wouldn't be able to eat before and would be in a meltdown but he was so good. The nurses let him play with a walker/push toy before surgery and he oushed it right into the OR. After surgery he got a Popsicle and watched a few shows. Handled it all like a champ. Luckily recovery was really easy and by the later afternoon he was running around and eating normally. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Sadly that afternoon Bryson decided he was going to the Dr and was diagnosed with the flu. A breathing treatment, a prescription for tamiflu and lots of liquids and he came home. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Tuesday Hammy was super grumpy and spiked a fever. because why not?</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Wednesday Hammy was doing well. Fever free and just a bit stuffy. No big deal. Whew. Bryson started feeling better and I started feeling crummy.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Thursday Bryson went back to work. I laid on the couch. Hammy watched a pbs kids marathon. Also, Hammy's lip was a little more swollen than I was comfortable with and it seemed tender to the touch. I called and made an appointment to see the ENT just to be sure. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Friday hammy and I went to the ENT for a checkup. I had to wear a mask so I didn't spread my germs to anyone. Hammy's lip was a little swollen but was healing well. The cut was just a little long (his frenulum was really tight) and thus extra healing time. So we don't need to go back for a week to make sure he is full healed. Whew. We spent the rest of the day on the couch. More pbs kids. We rallied and colored for about a hour. Parenting win. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Today is Saturday. I'm pretty sure I'm on the mend. Although my teeth hurt from so much sinus pressure. Luckily I can take Tylenol, since I'm pregnant. Would it be weird at one of these appointments to ask them just to check me out as well? I just can bear another appointment. Or rather, I don't want to get dressed and go out in the 12 degree weather. Bryson let me sleep in which was glorious. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Hammy on the other hand, has a rash. It's all over his body. It's probably just a common post fever rash and will go away. Or we will go to the doctor. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Moral of the week: stay away from the Bachman household for a few days. Or just leave the soup on the porch. </div>

We've been busy chatting Hamilton around and cleaning up after him. But we are back. Here are a few recent photos, more to come later. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This is our floor after 5 seconds of unsupervised throwing. I made hammy help pick it up and he was not happy about it. I'm sure in 8 or 10 gears he'll figure out that he has to clean up his messes. Maybe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The others are just photos of Hammy enjoying a statue (he's so confused but sculptures/statues/mannequins) and playing in the leaves. </p>

It will be picked up soon. Hammy loves this mirror in our room. He usually scoots over to it and stands up and talks to himself in it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This morning he must have been worn out and needed to relax instead. </p>
<p dir="ltr">He spent the previous 10 minutes in the bathroom waiting for me to shower. He kept himself occupied by pulling out a box of feminine hygiene products and playing with them. I let him do so because it kept him quiet. Then he found the toilet plunger. His hands have been thoroughly washed and the bathroom will be as well. </p>

We were lucky that the conference was held in Bethesda, MD about a half hour from our house. As first time attendees we were a bit anxious about what to expect. It was also our first chance to meet other people with Moebius.<br />
<br />
When we walked in, and we looked around, I felt like I was with a bunch of friends. Sort of like a big family reunion. It was wonderful. Babies, kids, teens, and adults with Moebius attended, as did their families. Our badges had "first time attendees" written on the. So people went out of their way to introduce themselves. I can now say, for sure, that Moebius babies are in fact the cutest. <br />
<br />
It was so nice to talk to parents who knew exactly what we were going through, and who had advice to give, not because they just read about this condition, but because they had a child who has Moebius. It was also wonderful to know Hammy was right at home. The children attending would possibly be future friends. We saw many of the teens buddy up and hang out together.<br />
<br />
Since Moebius is so rare, there are few doctors we have met who have treated a Moebius patient. The doctors and specialists at the conference had done so many times and we were able to get really good advice on things concerning Hamilton both now and decisions we will make in the future.

Hammy is doing really well. He just keeps progressing. This week he will be 18 months old which seems crazy! It has gone by so fast, yet life without him it a distant memory. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The past few weeks he has learned to pull himself up to stand, cruise along furniture, go up stairs, go from happy to mad to happy in a matter of moments. He is also asserting his independence while showing us who is the center of our universe. He knows what a tiger, bee, snake, and gorilla say. Those might be his cutest human tricks. He also points to body parts and can sign 5 or 6 signs. </p>
<p dir="ltr">He spends his days pushing toys around the floor, throwing food, and splashing any water he finds (we have learned to keep the bathroom doors closed and toilet lids down). He has perfected the peg leg scoot and can now explore anything he wants. I frequently find our dish towel drawer emptied out and replaced with his toys. </p><p dir="ltr">Hammy likes popcicles. And spreading food all over his tray. </p>

Midway through I heard Bryson say that Hamilton needed a haircut. I wanted to finish my project but apparently Bryson wanted Hamilton to have a hair cut and so decided to start cuttting. Hearing this, I immediately put down my project to walk in on Bryson cutting a chunk from Hammy's hair. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Oh. Dear. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I took the scissors, scolded Bryson, and tried to fix the damage. In fairness Hammy needed a haircut. But Bryson is now banned from giving him one again. </p>
<p dir="ltr">To keep Hammy from yelling we gave him a kit kat. It worked like a charm. He was only mildly annoyed at us. </p>
<p dir="ltr">His hair turned out pretty decent. Not perfect, but I'll probably get it down by the time he cares what his hair looks like. Or I'll give up and pay a barber. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Here are a few photos of his hair. And my shelf. I'm pretty proud of both. </p>

He has learned to get wherever he wants. I sometimes forget this until he has gotten himself into a predicament and needs me. Today he pulled a casserole dish off a low shelf and yelled for me to come help him because it was a little too heavy to put back. Usually I hear giggles or chatting and see him exploring his world or pulling wipes out of the container. His first stop every morning is to take our wii games off our shelf. I'm trying to tech him to put them back on the shelf. I'm having moderate success. He does put his toys on the shelf so maybe he just wants to rearrange. </p>
<p dir="ltr">He is also starting to tolerate his stomach a bit more. I can prop him in crawling position and he moves his hands and legs almost in a crawling pattern. While giggling away. It's pretty cute. Hopefully this means he crawls soon. Which would be amazing. Seriously. I told Bryson if Hammy crawls I'm taking cupcakes to his pt. Fingers crossed. </p>
<p dir="ltr">His last little trick is that he <u>finally</u> learned he can sit from standing position. We would prop him up and when ready to sit down he would yell until we sat him down to give him a break. Now he slowly lowers himself half way, let's go and squeals and claps for himself. </p>

(Those cords are now behind the TV stand). But really, this is where he puts his toys. And my wallet. He loves going through my purse. </p>

We hung out with some friends on the mall and then got soul food at a small place on U st. Giving Hamilton a taste of lemonade was a horrible idea. He screamed for it for the next five minutes. Today I took Hamilton for a walk in the park. </div>

So I'm out here with him.  If we keep him inside he will inevitably get woken up. I wish I would have packed treats for myself. So I thought I would pass the time by blogging. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We think there is some chance Hammy is saying words. He keeps saying things that sound remarkably similar to what we say. Not mom or dad. We think he says the word "catch."  Bryson couldn't be happier. Yesterday Bryson was playing catch with Hammy and told me that while he would have been fine with Hammy not liking sports, it's pretty much inevitable that he will. </p>
<p dir="ltr">He may also say "good job." Which would make me feel pretty good if he could get that down. Imagine how gratifying that would be "good job, good job."  It may also mean he is going to have an inflated sense of self.  <br>

Overnight last week we got over a foot. I think Hammy was a bit confused when he loomed outside that morning. We decided to take Hammy out to play in the snow while we shoveled ourselves out. He really liked watching us shovel and eating the snow. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The next day we got more snow so after shoveling I built a slide for him. He liked it but was more interested in watching the neighbor kids snowball fight. </p>

He disagrees. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hamilton has begun throwing tantrums. His first was last week at OT while he was supposed to be learning to sit up. He kicked his little legs and screamed. Whew. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Now he thinks this is a great way to let us know what he wants. If there was one characteristic of ours I hoped he wouldn't get......  I try to stay calm and explain to him that he can sign for what he wants. Or that I'm trying my hardest to quickly get him food. Food is generally the trigger. Generally I just try not to laugh.  Sometime I'll take a video but I sort of feel bad recording this. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In other news, Hamilton is a big fan of eating. And throwing food all over. Our floor is never going to be clean again. On the plus side someday he will be able to feed himself. </p>
