Before Easter


Lots has been going on here. Lets see, this sums up the past few weeks...
  • We went to an Easter Egg hunt at Church. Reagan had fun but Nathan was tired and just wanted to be held (see video). In case your wondering, Riley was on my back.
  • We went to the Zoo with another mom and her 2.5 yr old and 14 month old.
  • We had a play date at our house with 14 month old twins and a 3.5 year old.
  • We received Nathan's medical card and are getting closer to getting his autism ABA therapy started
  • Both of the twins saw a private speech therapist. Soon they will be adding another 1/2 hour of speech per week to their schedule
  • Riley is sitting on her own for up to a minute at a time and she is eating banana and apple sauce baby food. She still doesn't have any teeth and she barely has any hair. I am starting to think her hair is getting lighter, maybe Nathan's color.
  • We had a new fence installed and the ground cleared to make way for the outside playset. Daddy is working on putting the playset together by doing a little every night.
  • The kids got over colds and started a new batch of colds. Nathan added an extremely high fever to the mix (104.5) but it has since broke and he is doing better
  • We had the carpets professionally cleaned because mommy is a dumb head and accidentally locked the cat out of the room where we keep his litter box. This caused him to use the kids ball pit as a litter box - YUCK! And get some on the carpet in the process.
  • We canceled having professional pictures done for Easter because of the kids being sick and we will probably skip church too
  • Reagan is saying shoe and sock really well and she is saying "No" very clearly instead of saying "Row"
  • Both Nathan and Reagan are beginning to use a picture system (in the Autism world it is called PECS - Picture Exchange Communication System) to communicate with us. They are both giving us a magnetic picture of their sippy cup that we keep on the frig when they want a drink. We are going to try a picture of apples next week.
