Happy Fall Y'all!


Jordan started her dance class.! She will be learning tap & ballet. She was not too sure about the tap dancing. She loved ballet!



 Comal County Fair! Jordan was thrilled to spend the day at the fair. Her & I went this morning then the whole family went back after nap time. Everyone had a fabulous time!





Joseph has been making tremendous progress sitting and holding his head steady.


 Petrie Family reunion! Everyone had a blast! Jordan absolutely loves Maddie.



 
The month of September has been full of fun and excitement. Jordan is loving school and behaving. I am blessed by her being able to grow in a wonderful Christian environment. She is learning her bible stories well. She loves the David & Goliath story as well as Adam & Eve. She told me the other night. "mom they are gonna eat  that apple and it was a bad choice." She is seeing Dr. Linda Homeyer once a week & doing play therapy. It is absolutely helping her with the tantrums and using her words to communicate. Joey & I are also reading some books that are fabulous & helping our relationship with her. She can write the J & o in her name!
 
Joseph is making progress everyday. He has started really rolling fast and trying to get his knees up under him. He is doing well sitting up & does not want to eat his bottle lying on his left side like he is supposed to be doing. He wants to sit straight up & see everything. He can grab his toys and put them in his mouth. He has been pooping regularly. I have not ever celebrated to excitedly about before now. He is working on his endurance with keeping his head up while pushing up on his stomach & learning how to use his legs to push and stand. His lungs were clear in his chest x-ray last week. He has a swallow study on the 29th of October with a speech therapist that the pulmonologist & speech therapist recommend. He sees the Developmental pediatrician Oct. 11th. I found out at the fair that there is a horse therapy program that will work with him even though he's only 9 months. They will allow him to touch, fell, experience & ride the horse with a trainer. The lady I spoke with was telling me about another child that does that type of work as well. He is still happy & smiles at everyone.
 
Joey is loving being at Dibello Architects & I am loving tutoring. We are blessed to both work within a mile from the house. Hope everyone has a blessed week!

Neurologist appointment

Today we saw the neurologist & he still doesn't see signs of anything muscular. He says he was not moving inside of me and it is taking time to get him caught up from that. He said there is a sensory issue going on as well. Joseph does want to weight bear (push with his legs or arms) so that maybe why. It is not severe because Joseph is fine with you holding him and smiles, etc
That was good news to hear.
Have a blessed weekend & keep praying!

GI dr update

Joseph saw the GI dr today. He was extremely constipated & backed up. The dr explained that babies with delays don't have the stomach strength to push out what they need to, especially when it is hard. He will spend any energy & strength he has holding it in instead of pushing. I changed formulas, got a prescription stool softener, & have the glorious privilege of giving him enemas. Joseph drank the formula & medicine like a champ. He is happy as can be :)

3 year old class at Wee Care - First Baptist New Braunfels TX

Jordan started school today! She is in the pre-k 3 class.



Port Royal

We had a family vacation at Port Royal in Port Aransas Texas! Everyone enjoyed the beach & the days spent relaxing, hanging out at the beach & swimming! Jordan loved the pool. She can now jump in aka belly flop and swim to you. She is extremely proud of her self for accomplishing this task. The juicy sand at the beach was wonderful in her eyes as well!
