I feel like there's not much to update, but here's what I CAN think of!
Jackson: Jack is now 7 1/2 months old...he still does not roll over, and he isn't interested in trying to crawl. He DOES however, LOVE to stand and all I keep thinking about is how Audrey started walking at 9 1/2 months! EEK! He is trying to pull up on his crib and toy basket and constantly wants me to hold his hands so that he can stand. He gets all giggly and starts bouncing, but is still kind of unstable and that is fine with me! :) He still only has two teeth, on the bottom, likes to squeal and make noise, but isn't saying anything yet. I still can't tell what color his hair is going to be...or his eyes for that matter! His hair looks blond in one light, and almost strawberry in another. His eyes are blue on the outer ring and brown on the inner. Who knows who he will end up looking like?!? Cute though...definitely cute!
Audrey: We have decided to quit...ok I decided to pull her from competing gymnastics. She's not thrilled about it, but I wasn't thrilled paying an arm and a leg for her to BEGIN learning all-around gymnastics. I am going to talk to the coach and see if she can just take one class/week instead of 6 hours/week and then get her and Shelby into swimming lessons. Pool time will be here before we know it! She is doing really well in school...her teacher's comments are things like "Audrey is working on giving her friends a chance to answer questions...and Audrey likes to help her friends when she is finished with her work...". We sometimes think she might need a little medicine too though with her non-stop talking and movement! :)
Shelby: Shelby is such a good kid...she is going through a lot of changes at school right now with the IEP we just put in place and she seems to be handling it all like a trooper! She is going to be having a few extra tests in the near future for something called Central Auditory Processing Disorder. The evaluators that worked on her IEP thought it might be a piece to the puzzle, and if so I think it's a BIG piece. It means she hears you, but can't process what you are saying. This disorder overlaps a lot with ADHD and looks similar, but auditory testing will prove whether this is affecting her or not. She still loves school and loves to help take care of Jackson! I think I am almost ready to teach her to change his diaper, but soon he will be able to get away from her so maybe not! :)
So I think that's about it for us this month! I kind of like when there's not a lot to tell...Calm is good!
