MORE DETAILS

Therapy Session

Aubrey had a great session! For 2009 we'll swap between PT and OT every Monday morning to open more time in our schedules for her new speech therapy sessions and the Elkhorn Early Intervention Program. Anyway - all that detail to explain that it had been 2 weeks since the PT had been with Aubrey. She could tell an improvement in just that short time with her balance and calmness.

We're working on one-handed walking and attempting to have her stand un-supported. Her balance is getting better every time we practice - and I know she'll get there!! It's amazing for me to think that a year ago she was not able to transition from laying to sitting on her own and now she's crawling and cruising all over the place! We still have no idea when independent walking will be a reality - - but it's fun to see her progress towards that ultimate goal!

After therapy - - I ran into work - got as much stuff done as I possible could before I had to get back in my car and drive out to the house for the final inspection.

Final Inspection

Okay - - - this took twice as long as I thought it would - but well worth it. It was our time to look over everything that we saw that needs to be addressed before the closing. It mostly very minor and picky painting imperfections and a few nicks on the woodwork. Nothing major - thank God! We close on Wed and then the real fun of moving begins. Thank you in advance for those that will be helping us during this process. Now if only the weather would cooperate!

Unplanned Vacation

So I wasn't planning on taking vacation this afternoon - but after the inspection got done at 1:30 and I still hadn't eaten anything - I knew the day had taken a unplanned turn! You should all know how things not going to plan works out for me!! Anyway - I just decided that it was best to take it as vacation and then finish some things up around the house and take a much needed nap! Boy I love naps. Chris went back to work and then brought the girls home from daycare - with supper ready to go!

Bathtime

The girls, as always, made quite the mess during supper tonight. I swear they forgot to feed Aubrey at daycare today :)! She snarfed down a full orange, 2 hotdogs, broccoli, and nilla wafers, and a crescent roll - -I sat in awe at the amount of food she ate!

Molly had her usually Cheerios by hand and oatmeal/baby food mix by spoon.

Here are some pictures when they we're all stripped down to their diapers before bathtime - enjoy:





Well - - that's all for now. Better get ready for bed so I can meet my 10:30 pm time frame!

More to come after the move!

Wow those are awesome pictures of the two of them. They look like they were having such a good time. Why does my kid think he needs to make a funny face when it is time to smile?!
