So sad...Christmas is over!

We had a very busy but great holiday with family and friends. Jack was not to impressed with Christmas, he did enjoy opening some things, but not much kept his attention for long. Anything that had to do with a train was a big hit. I got him a dry erase/chalk board and surpisingly he really likes it, which is great for those fine motor skills, so I'm pumped about that! Now we are getting back on our normal schedule and he is back at day care. He had a good first week back and also had a very good week at therapy, so all is good! His new words are still coming and he has quite a few we cannot understand, but he is really trying.

Happy Holidays!!!!

Here is our Christmas card for 2009...it definitely captures Jack as we all know him! He is doing wonderful. He loves daycare more and more every week and he is starting to pick up a few new words! And for some reason, "mama" is still not one of them! HSM cut back his PT to twice a month which was no surprise. We will see how he does and just hope he doesn't start to slow down his progress. He is acting like a typical 2 year...likes his independence and can throw a good tantrum when he doesn't get his way! He is starting to learn about Christmas and he definitely knows who Santa is...Santa is one of his new words actually : ) The whole speech issue is going to be a hard and challenging one for all of us. It is amazing all that he knows and remembers, but he just can't express it like other 2 year olds. We have found a lot of help in flashcards, because he can just point to the objects he knows. He does know a few signs but his new speech therapist does not sign, so we have kinda stalled in that area. Any advice on the issue would be nice!

I hope everyone has a safe and peaceful holiday...Merry Christmas!!!

The cutest puppy ever!!!

He pulled on the ears all night long...they kept falling over his eyes : ) And you have no idea how hard he fought me to put this outfit on...the black make up almost pushed him over the edge!!! He has definitely developed a little temper and likes things his way...someone must have told him that he turned 2!!
