10 Things We Have Learned About Troy

10 THINGS WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT TROY IN THE PAST 8 WEEKS...

10. He is cold ALL the time! You have to keep the kid bundled in an undershirt, outfit and a warm blanket does his little lip stop shivering.

9. He can't wear socks. This really doesn't help with the whole cold thing listed in #10. But there is something about the size / shape of his little tootsies that prevents him from keeping socks on.

8. He has to sleep on something soft. It's against what the SIDS people tell you, but he has to sleep with blankets and pillows.

7. He does this creepy thing with his eyes when he sleeps. He doesn't quite shut them all the way, but his eyes still roll back into his head. All you can end up seeing is the white of his eyes...creepy!

6. He LOVES to be held. They say that at this age you can't really spoil them by holding them too much, but this has proven to be FALSE. This kid will only fall asleep if he is being held, if he wakes up and isn't held he won't go back to sleep. Yes, I completely blame this on myself, but GEESH!

5. This kid is NOISY. Along with his age, this is one of the many reasons you cannot tell that he is deaf. He makes noises all the time. Half the time you don't even think that he is asleep because of all the crazy noises that he is making.

4. He LOVES to eat. He actually loves to eat a little too much. If he wakes up and you are not feeding him within 30 seconds, it is an all out, bloody murder type of scream. Actually, it's kind of ridiculous.

3. He gets the most terrible hiccups. All the time. I don't mean once or twice a week, I mean 3-4 times a day. They shake his whole body when he gets them, and you just feel terrible for the little guy.

2. He is a stinky little farter. The worst part is that he farts ALL THE TIME. Ask anyone who has held him, he feels like a little vibrating doll. The one time I took him to my mom's school to visit her classes, he farted in some girl's face. It was funny, but really embarrassing at the same time.

1. This kid is perfect. We love him so much and know that God meant him for us. We don't care that he is deaf or has to be held or even farts constantly. We love this kid.
