Well, I wanted to get a few pics of Caleb's crazy hair after naptime today, so I got out the camera. I ended up getting some cute shots of both of the boys - even though it started out rough with Caleb, as you can see! He didn't want to sit on his brother's lap for the picture.
On Tuesday, Caleb went for his 18 month well visit and was in the 75% for everything - weight (28 lbs), height (33 1/2 in), and even his head (19 1/2 in)! Although he still is not talking much, the dr. isn't concerned. He said as long as we continue to see improvement and him attempting words, that he is encouraged. We only came up with seven words that he attempts now, and are supposed to keep track of them over the next month and call back. The doctor said he doesn't see any fluid in his ears, and given the fact that he follows our instructions perfectly when we ask him to do things, such as take your cup to the table, etc, we don't think there is any hearing problem. I just need to remind myself to read, read, read to him - as just in the last week, he will sit still long enough to get through an entire book without getting up to do something else!
On Tuesday night, we had a huge rainstorm that unfortunately left standing water on one side of our house, so much so, that it came into our house through the floor in Ethan and Caleb's rooms. Luckily we discovered it early, and were able to wet vac out the room, and dry it out with fans and heaters for several days. There is still some mud that came up into the carpet, so eventually we will need to replace it, but hopefully we got to it soon enough that there won't be any mold growing. We would like to replace all the carpet in the house with hardwood flooring at some point, so maybe we will start with the boys' bedrooms and hallway first. The guys, Scott, his dad, and my dad, were out all afternoon digging a ditch and putting in a new drainage system for the ground on that side of the house so it won't happen again hopefully. That is the update on us! Here are a few more pictures . . .
hello soon to be relative, well Im not sure if you be a relative but i will call you it any how. i cant wait to see our kids walk down the isle and to be a part of the wonderful celebration. thanks for visiting my blog. i just caught up on yours how is the treadmill. my friends boy didn't talk till he was almost 3!! now he is a real talker he goes on and on . i wondered what was going on and so did his mom she worried allot but all for nothing because he was just waiting till he felt like talking.
