What Does the Fox Say?

Theo and I had a photo shoot the other day. It was SO fun! Here a few of my favorites from the "session'.

Our Sweet James

We recently had James evaluated through Early Intervention. We were concerned about his speech. He wasn't/isn't saying a whole lot. He jabbers ALL the time in his own little language but had few words he actually said, and he used them very rarely. Within the past few weeks, he has gotten a bit better. We have been having him drink through a straw to hopefully strengthen his mouth muscles, and I think it has been helping?

Anyways, through his evaluation we learned that he doesn't say the sounds that involve his lips like m,p, etc. He tested at 15 months in expressive language (speech), which meant he qualified for their services! In the next few weeks he will be starting speech therapy! We are excited for him to get the help he needs to better communicate his needs/wants. Hopefully it will really help him! Feel free to keep him in your prayers :) We sure love this little guy!

Family Photos

Here are some of our favorites from our Family photo shoot this year! We took them back in October when Ben's parents were here. They helped get the boys' attention. We love them! Our friend Meagan Beck took them, and I then I edited them. You might not be able to tell, but it was reeeeallly cold. Like 30-40 something degrees.

Halloween

On Tuesday, our apartment complex had a trick or treating event that we went to for a little bit. James even saw a little boy (I think it was a boy...) dressed up as Mickey Mouse. He stared at him for a few minutes. Not quite sure what to think of it!

Theo was the cutest elephant I have ever seen

not quite sure what was going on...

did you see that??

 

James post trick or treating. He was so loopy and giggly. He was laughing at the little pumpkins on top of our bookshelves.

 Then, on Wednesdy we had a Halloween Potluck at a friend's house. It was a lot of fun!

 Have you had enough pictures of our little elephant and monster? Here are some pics of actual Halloween. We painted a pumpkin! We tried getting handprints and footprints of the boys... mostly it was a big fail. Why do they have so many thins with baby and little kid handprints? I want to know how people get their kids to do them, because I have almost always failed at it.

 James took the trains everywhere in the library

That was our Halloween this year!
