Pool times...

Jack loves the pool and is not afraid of the water, at all...which scares me to death! He loves to jump off the side of the pool when you count to 3...no fear. He just assumes someone will catch him! He is so proud of himself and he makes sure that someone sees him jumping. It's the simple things that makes you smile : )

He's getting ready to jump...

One, two...

Three!!!

Family Beach Trip

It's now back to reality, but we had a blast the past week in Destin...beautiful weather, crystal clear water, super nice condo http://www.vrbo.com/99946 , good times and plenty of R & R. And Jack walked his little legs off in that condo...woo hoo!

And walking up a storm!!! He is actually walking just as much as crawling. He just went for his 18 month check up and all was good...growth, development, ears and thyriod levels all in check! His next check will be when he turns 2...so proud of little Jack! He did get approved for speech therapy, so we have added that to his weekly routine. And HSM has still not contacted us regarding the appeal. Jack is still getting weekly PT until they decide otherwise.

I am actually packing as I write this for the fam beach trip to Destin. I am really hoping for a relaxing, beautiful 7 days!!!

And to anyone interested...we are selling our lot in Clarkdale. It is 2.8 wooded acres in Southern Hills subdivision. It is a beautiful lot and we were really hoping to put our dream home there one day, but Jack needs to be in Northeast Lauderdale school district, so we have had to change our plans. I still remember how excited we were when we purchased the lot, but Jack is our priority now.

Another great check up!

Jack went to see Dr. Mungan yesterday (Ophthalmologist @ UMC) and got a great report...no check up for another year, WOO HOO!!! The last appt. Mungan was concerned about his farsightedness, but it has since corrected. GO JACK : ) We had a good time in Jax...saw CK, Penn and the whole Watson crew; did some shopping, and enjoyed Walker's and Bonsai! Needless to say, Jack was worn out and was out as soon as we got on the road.

Mother's Day and Baby shower

Fun weekend...my cousin Ashley's baby shower, Mother's Day and presents!! Jeramy gave me a new camera...so excited and can't wait to play with it.

Pool time...Seawinds in Gulf Shores...great kiddie pool

We had a nice, relaxing beach trip and then I come home to find a letter about Jack's therapy. HSM has now denied his requested OT...big surprise! I knew it was coming, so I guess it is now time to fight for his OT. And keep in mind, that I STILL have not heard from HSM regarding the appeal for the PT. They say the hold up is due to case overload, but they sure had the time to process a few denials!!! So now we are up in the air with PT and OT. He will continue to get speech therapy until June (remember the lovely "cut backs") and then we have to start going through HSM approval for that too...they are so going to deny him! I am also starting to get bills for his PT/OT...our private insurance and Medicaid will not pay if HSM does not approve the therapy. I will definitely be making some calls this week ; )
