7 weeks home


and things are going well... I wish I had a ton of time to update, but very hectic... Eli is doing very well... some people have asked why we went ahead and started him in OT... we just figured why not... and it is going so well, his balance has really improved, his fine and gross motor skills are developing and he has calmed down "a bit" he is still a VERY energetic little one... we also had our first speech therapy appt last week, well more of a semi evaluation, we were really surprised at how well he did, testing well into the 3 year old level... and then this weekend his language really took off, he has a very expansive one word vocabulary already, but now he is putting them together.... with things like "Mommy open cheese" to open the string cheese he was holding... or "Daddy go work" and many many more...


Last weekend Eli got the experience of his first wedding- my little sister Beaven's, and to top it off he was in it... he was amazing, he walked down the aisle without missing a beat- holding Jake's hand... and he was a perfect gentleman... I have lots of pictures to post, and promise not to take a whole month to do it, but I need to run, so I will leave you with just one picture, one that I can't take credit for... Jake at all of 9 years old captured this one with my camera of Eli and my new brother-in-law... Ty...

HA! I just realized I never posted here even though I read it! You already know how adorable I think he is and how amazed I am at how well he's doing with the transition!

Continuing to keep you all in my prayers and huge hugs to all of you!
