Surgery

TJ is having out patient surgery Monday to remove what looks like a large jelly bean on his belly button. It's not a hernia, it was a small growth that got larger from not clamping his navel completely at birth. It looks like it would hurt to pull on it, but TJ is very fond of it. He likes to touch it. TJ was 13 months old May 1st. He still has only two teeth, but talks well. He likes to repeat words especially if they have to do with his favorite thing...........balls. TJ knows his colors because he has so many balls that we have to call them small or big and by their color and texture. We are working on teaching him to 'kick' his balls into his 'tent' to get a 'SCORE!'. He already knows that if he throws them in a basket he gets 'SCORE!. The same goes if he throws his diapers into the trash. TJ can name a few 'shapes' that go into the Tupper Ware puzzle ball. He likes Barney, Selena Gomez, peas [balls] bananas, cheese and many other foods. Grandma 'GG' is having a blast taking care of TJ, just like she did taking care of Jacob.
