I got this from one of my friend's blogs...it was very true for my life...
For all the moms who had to wait longer to hear a first word, who spent more time in doctors offices with their child than on play dates, who endure the countless 'bad days' and the stares from other people..For the moms whose child's first friend was their therapist..For the moms who face special needs everyday....Happy Mothers day to the greatest mothers of all!
I haven't had a chance to update my blog for awhile and A LOT has happened over that time. I will update later, but I wanted to post a recent picture of my ONE year old!! I can't believe that he is already one year old!
I will update soon. I just need to find the time in between cleaning, doing laundry, and taking care of two precious little ones. Lots to update....
I know that it is way to early to start even thinking about Christmas cards. If you are like me and don't have the talent to make cute Christmas cards. Head on over to Scoop and check out Beth's cute Christmas card creations. She is very talented and has some awesome designs.
We went to the Pumpkin Patch at a local church and had a wonderful time playing in all of the pumpkins. Brother was so cute watching everything. He has a new fond freedom in sitting up. He is so cute.
Eli showing us his true personality...
My baby boy is already six months old. I can't believe that time is flying by so fast. It seems like we were just at the hospital finding out that we had a BOY!! God has truly blessed us with a very even-keeled baby. He is growing like a weed and learning so many new things. He has tried some new vegetables which he is still getting used to eating. We are working on it, but I am making his baby food. I learned the hard way with Madison that it is very expensive. I have made carrots, peas, green beans, pears and peaches. He has only eaten carrots and applesauce. He likes them both! He has now had two haircuts in his six months of life. His hair grows really fast. He also has his first tooth! We never even knew that anything was wrong until he started gnawing on my hand and it really hurt.
He has another appointment at Scottish Rite in October, but this time it is for his feet. We are going to start taking him to Scottish Rite for both his hands and his feet from now on. He is only wearing his bar n shoes for 12 hours a day (at night) instead of 23 hours. He really likes not wearing them during the day, but really doesn't mind wearing them at nighttime because he really doesn't know any different. His hands are still the same. He can move them a little bit more everyday. His grasp reflex is still developing. He can't pick anything up yet, but overtime I think he will be able. Every time he sees a toy he gets really excited and wants to play with it. We are thanking God for every new development that we see in him. He is truly a blessing in our lives. I can't wait to see what new developments will happen in the next couple of months.
Eli, we are so proud of you and thank God everyday for you!
We went on a little family trip to Austin Children's Museum. Madison had a whole lot of fun!
