Look what I can do!!!

Its been awhile since Ive posted and a lot has happened! Nicholas finally can walk! It took a little longer and a lot of work but look at him go now. He was a little over 16 months when he took his first steps and everyday it seems like he is getting a little faster.


Graduated!

That's right Nicholas graduated therapy. This was another big mile stone for us. We have been doing therapy since he was 6 months old. He needed a little extra boost after his rough start and hemorrhage on his brain at birth. But he passed the testing is no longer officially needing therapy. He is becoming a little tot! We truly have been blessed to have this little guy in our family!


Nicholas was happy to graduate therapy. Although we are gonna miss our therapists. Above is Lori our physical therapist. We miss her the most. We have been seeing her since Nicholas was 6 months old once a week. She helped Nicholas come so far! We couldn't have done it without her. The sap I am I cried when Lori left our house for our last weekly session. We will defiantly have to visit her on occasion. She has a special place in our hearts!
As you can see Nicholas loved all the attention his therapist gives him. Above is Terri our developmental therapist. She came to do therapy with us once a week as well since last November. She kinda worked on whatever needed worked on from week to week.


And last this is our speech therapist Chris. We seen her the least. We only had 2 visits with her. But Nicholas' has no problem expressing his self! We miss you all! Thank you for all you've done for our family.

Where a kid can be a kid

We had the pleasure of attending a Chris' birthday party at ChuckeCheese! We haven't been since Nicholas was a few months old. So naturally we were curious if he would like the games/rides and the scary looking robots on stage!





He loved it!!!

Growing up

I don't post very much on Brandon because not a lot changes with him. He is your typical 9 year old boy! Here is whats new, he is doing extremely well in 4th grade and his teacher says "he is a very funny boy and we all love having him in our class". Innocent as that sounds Brandon comes home from time to time talking about being the class clown. She also said that the only problem that he socializes too much. We have been hearing this since Kindergarten. I'm guessing its not going to stop anytime soon. Somethings never change. He has perfect attendance and he is very proud of that!

He loves playing with his little brother and is right there to give him anything he wants! Brandon loves the fact that Nicholas can't say Mama but says Nanon all the time wanting Brandon. I must admit it is pretty darn cute.

Brandon still loves his video games, computer time, and baseball! He is super excited that baseball practice starts in a couple weeks and all ready for it. He is starting to show a tad bit of interest in girls but still tries to hide it from us. Gotta love when his classmates/neighbors bust him out!! But he is right there to give back to them. I'm not ready for girls and hope they stay away for many more years!!! Brandon has been wanting to do more with friends like go to the movies and talking on the phone. They never have much to say on the phone but he makes it a big deal to call his friends. Some of his friends already have cell phones and he wants one. That's not going to happen anytime soon.

Well that about sums it up on Brandon. He is growing up on me and I'm not ready.

Family Events


That's right we love American Idol. We are evening training Nicholas' to love it too. Tonight with us all glued to see the results Nicholas' joined in. After all he loves being next to bro bro. I don't have no favorites yet but its only a matter of time. I don't watch very much TV but this is one program that I have been hooked on since the first season. Even had the opportunity recently to see Kelly Clarkson in concert with Reba. It was awesome. We will be tuned in for the rest of the season!!!
