Ethan is 8 months old!




I can't believe it's been 8 months already - where does the time go?

We started speech therapy today and it was a good session. We'll see the therapist twice a month for 30 minutes at a time. She could see a big difference in Ethan from when she was out a month or so ago for an evaluation. Now we've got more exercises to work with him on. That kid is a real trooper for all the stuff we put him through!


Jack had his 3 year old check-up yesterday and is doing great. They did an eye exam, hearing exam and checked everything out in between. He is 3 feet, 3 inches and 40 pounds. His weight is in the 95th percentile and his height is between the 90th and 95th percentile, which they said was good. He should be tall!!

Other than that, we're just gearing up for Jack's birthday party with his friends this weekend. Between planning for that and getting the house back in order after being gone for so long, I really feel like this week has slipped away from me.

I still need to blog and post pictures from the rest of our trip. I promise to get to that soon (hopefully tonight after the boys go to bed).

Oh, I love that first picture. Remember how Jack used to "airplane" at that age? It's so cute! He's Daddy's little paratrouper.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
