Happy Easter

2009-04-12T16:37:00.000-07:00

We had a nice Easter Egg hunt today, put on by the Weaverville Lions Club. That's not an Easter Egg Bill is holding, it is a large ball that someone had nearby.

Bill's Aunties had made sure that he was well practiced for the hunt. Of course, the hardest part was restraining him from starting before the official start.

Bill was on a tear all over the playground and park after the hunt.

This morning when I got back from my jog, Steph and Bill were in the front yard. Bill was standing holding the fence post. Then he just left it and started taking steps towards us. It was great. He didn't seem to mind repeating it again and again. Inside, we got him to take a few steps at a time.

Very exciting!

Let's see what is new.

Bill is much more talkative now. No real words, but lots of it. A little bit of Daadaa. He also seems to have a specific type of noise he makes when he is exploring and runs onto something new.

Bill is standing up all the time against furniture. He can balance for a couple of seconds on his own, but will sit down to avoid falling. He is crawling super fast and getting into anything and everything.

He points at things he wants during meals. Well, he makes a stern noise and looks at what he wants at least. Who would have known he wanted a bunch of pickles today at lunch, but he ate a half dozen slices. It is usually difficult to verify how much he has eaten because he frequently gives it to Butch.

Butch has been under the weather lately. He wasn't eating for a couple of days, which had us a bit scared. He seems to be back to eating normally now though.

Stephanie has been working hard. She had a pretty tough weekend taking care of Bill during my run.

On Saturday, I ran the Cle Elum Ridge 50km. It was a beautiful day for a run in the mountains. Stephanie and Bill met me at the aid stations to support and cheer me on.

This photo would look like I was quick with the camera, but he actually did this three times. I feel reassured that when he does get stuck like that, Bill makes a fair amount of noise.

Tuesday, the three of us went to Musical story time at the Central Library downtown. This was my first time inside the main library building, it was very cool. The childrens area has a huge play area where Bill enjoyed himself. Bill was on the young side for the story time, but he enjoyed it.

Conundrum

Do you take the Kleenex box away and save it from destruction or do you enjoy watching him have tactile fun?
I suppose the answer is pretty simple really. Oh well, add Kleenex to the grocery list.

Ahhh, Insurance Fun Part II

2008-08-12T17:22:00.000-07:00

Back in June, I blogged about my fun trying to get the insurance companies to pay the money they owed our doctor.
Well, It isn't over yet. Premera said they were going to fix it, they accepted that Regence had claimed the Aaron Act or something so that Premera was the primary and sole provider as far as we were concerned. Well, after more than a month they didn't do anything to fix the billing. We got another bill from the doctor asking for the same $77.06.

I called Premera, talked to Faith. She was very nice. She is going to call back after they do research and find another reason they don't feel like paying the doctor.
We'll see what they come up with.
