This and That

The last few days have been relatively quiet. Mommy and Daddy have been busy with appointments, cleaning the house, etc. Mommy is starting to tackle tasks around the here that she hadn't gotten to when we moved. For example, she is going through my closet that has a whole bunch of clothes that I've outgrown in boxes. She's going to organize them and then clear out some space for clothes for Jonah.

Mommy and Daddy also got together with the contractor and we're hiring excavators for the new garage that is being built late next month. They are finalizing plans and getting ready to write some big checks...phew. We have had some cost overruns with the new garage (and the building hasn't even gone in yet!) since we were caught a little off gaurd on the costs of site preparation. Holy cow! Mommy says she'll also be eating Top Ramen for a very, very long time.

I've been busy too. I had school on Monday and my classmates saw me pull up to a stand for the first time. I also have my speech therapist coming this morning and then a home visit by my teacher, "M". She is going to go over new goals with Mommy and work out ways to address some issues that I've been having. The biggest issue is that I don't look over when people call my name. At first, therapists and doctors were pretty concerned. This can be a big symptom of autism but we're pretty sure that is not why I do this since I look people in the eyes when interacting with them. So "M" is going to help Mommy work out ways to get me to look over. And when I do, we are going to have a BIG party! I'm kind of scaring Mommy a little.

Jonah has decided to join us. He is waking up more and more during the day which is kind of funny. This explains why Mommy is very busy now but it also means she is getting more sleep. Last night, Jonah slept from midnight until 5am! Good job Jonah. I also slept through the night too so Mommy got a full 5 hours of solid sleep. Mommy doubts it will be like this every night but it sure was nice to have a little reprieve from the sleep deprivation.

So that is what we've been doing. A little of this, a little of that. Here are a few pictures from the last few days:



A common sight... can you guess I'm teething?


















My brother, Jonah, has decided to be awake during the days now. Hooray!


















Are you looking at me? Hi there!
