A Week in Our Life...

These past few weeks have been crazy. As you may have read in past posts, we have had sick kids, and doctors appointments till no end. Our afternoons have also filled up quite a bit. We have added speech therapy to our weekly physical therapy appointments. The speech therapist is named Casey and she comes once a week on Thursday at 1:00. She has had quite the time gaining Grant's trust, so her visits have consisted of playing with new toys and taking pictures of Grant's favorite things to hopefully help him communicate. He has a few words, but nothing like what a two-year-old should be saying. He needs some way to get his thoughts out, so we are thinking pictures might do the trick. (We have tried signing, but Grant has never seemed that interested in it.) I'm excited for the help, but a little impatient. It seems to be going slower than I thought.

I'm confident that Grant will get the help he needs. I just want to talk to my little guy to talk soon!

Also to throw into the mix-my aching back! What happened after Grant was born, is now happening after Audrey was born as well. My back has decided to take a vacation. It is getting better, but I am having to go to the chiropractor once a week, and it just adds to the confusion in our household. As long as I do my exercises, my back is okay. I just can't wait for it to be completely better, so I can enjoy my little ones more.

Both kids are doing great. Grant is not loving food these days. His diet consists of lasagna, cheese on bread, bananas, yogurt, and Nutri-Grain bars. Some days are better than others. He seems to go through phases.

Audrey seems to love what she is getting. She is all cheeks, and has rolls on her legs. She is super cute, and an absolute doll as far as disposition and personality goes. She is starting to laugh, and she LOVES to be spoken too. She is already cooing and babbling, and I can't wait until she starts talking to us for real. Truly, I am blessed to have such great kids, and a wonderful husband.

James is working so hard on finishing our basement. We are doing some of this ourselves (listen to me, I'm talking like I am also working on it), but it's James who does the work while I watch kids. He is doing drywall now, and is almost done with all of the walls. It looks great, and we are so excited for this project to be finished. He's down there most every night, so it's just me dealing with the little ones.
