Speech School

As I have mentioned in previous posts, Paxton is behind in his speech.

Ever since his last set of tubes were put in, he has been hearing great.

His vocabulary has grown tremendously since then, but he is still behind.

We met with the school district so he could be evaluated for speech therapy services.

He qualified for services, and we were told about a twice a

week speech class that was recommended for him.

We enrolled him the following Monday, and now Paxton gets to go to school twice a week!

He goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00am-10:00am

at the elementary school in our district.

 

The class is taught by two speech therapists and

consists of story time, arts and crafts, snacks, and playground time.

We are very excited for Paxton to have this opportunity.

He has already gone this week, and he comes home in the best mood.

Waking up that early is not the easiest thing for him though!

 

We literally live two minutes away from the school so it is very convenient.

I love that he will be able to make new friends,

and that we are getting some help with his communication skills.

It's so cute to walk him up to his class with his little backpack on.

We are so proud of him, and we love our Paxton!

Yay for speech school :)  

 



What a Lovely Night!

 Why is this little gal so happy??

BECAUSE SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT!!!!!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!!!

That's right guys, this little lady slept 12 hours without waking up!

I put her cute bum to bed last night around 8:15, 

and she didn't wake up until around 8:15 this morning. 

I think her Mom might be just as excited as she is in these pictures!

The last post I wrote said that she wasn't very great at the sleeping thing. 

I guess she showed me!

It was the perfect night for her to sleep all night too.

My first night back to work (since November) was Saturday night, 

and I was in major need of some extra sleep.

(I work one night a week as a nurse 7pm-7am.)

I will also mention that she only woke up once for her Daddy while I was at work.

He was very thankful for that.

I came home Sunday morning, slept two hours, and then woke up to feed her.

I then proceeded to stay up the whole day, 

and I didn't go to sleep until after I put Maebry to bed.

So, thank you Bee Bee. 

It was a lovely, wonderful sleep.

I'm not getting my hopes up that this will last.

I just wanted to celebrate the moment. 

Now, if only brother didn't climb into our bed at 3:00 in the morning.....

One success at a time I guess! 

Four Months

This beauty is four months old! 

I can't believe how fast it's flying by! 

Maebry's talents include rolling over, drooling, and looking dang cute. 

I love the girly sounds that come out of her too.

Ben says she screams like a girl.

She will be playing and just let out this high pitched squeal. 

She is a pretty great audience too.

She loves to laugh. 

I forgot how hard it is to find a place to set down a rolling baby. 

Life was easier when she just stayed put. 

She is absolutely in awe of her big brother. 

She loves to watch him.

I will be trying so hard to get her attention, but if Pax is in the room, I can't compete. 

Maebry's still not super awesome at the sleeping thing, but we'll keep her anyway :)

 She will probably get teeth soon because the drool is endless.

She will also chew on anything that gets anywhere near her mouth.

Her short friendship with the pacifier is pretty much over as well :( 

I could tell she wasn't super committed. 

Nicknames: Chunkers and Bee Bee. 

When Paxton says her name is sounds like he's saying Bee Bee. 

I have started calling her that, because I hear it so much.

Chunkers comes from my hope that I will have a rollie pollie, chunky baby.

Her 90th percentile height (just like Paxton's always was) seems to be in the way of that.

 I have also started referring to her as Mae Baby. 

I said I would never call her Mae, but I also said I would never call Paxton Pax....

We love our little gal regardless of her size :) 

She has been such a great addition to the family. 

We are so grateful for her in our lives!
