April fool's day!

Is someone playing a trick on me? It's 9:30am and my whole family is still asleep in bed! Including our princess! Ofcourse, she was up last night for a while but just wanting a bottle and some snuggling time! Jailyn is changing every day! She is becoming quiet the toddler. Our first month together she seemed like such a baby... not any more! Her personality is shining and she is much more comfortable telling us when she likes or dislikes something. She has decided that baby food is not as good as finger food. This is good and bad. Great that she wants to feed herself but she needs all the nutrients she can get and I felt better when she was on baby food only. Jailyn has quiet the sweet tooth and loves to eat. "eat" and "more" are her favorite signs to show us! Infact, she has gained 2 lbs! She is now 18lbs 9 oz. Yeah! Almost in #3 diapers.

Jailyn's ECI evaluations went well. The therapists fell in love with her immediately! She loves to show off! Jailyn will receive speech thereapy once a week and Physical therapy twice a month. We are hoping to be done with PT in a few months - we will be working on her balance and getting her to walk. In Speech therapy we will be working on consenant sounds and communicating through sign language. We want Jailyn to put two and three words together so that when she does begin speaking she will already understand the concept of using sentences.

Jailyn is bonding really well. We can tell that she is understanding the difference between family and friends and really good friends and casual friends. Though we are on the go every afternoon with the big kids activities we are always going to the same places... soccer or karate or school. She isn't fighting getting into the car seat anymore and laughs when we pull into the karate school parking lot! She knows everyone will give her lots of attention there!

Jailyn just woke up so I better go for now. Oh, our camera broke - so no new pictures - will go camera shopping this week!
Brady, Kenzie and Conner are doing great too! I think I may need to do a blog for each of them too! This is a fun way to keep connected with friends and family! Better than the annual Christmas card!

Have a great day!
