GREETINGS ALL :)

Here's what's new on the ranch~

Alex is continuing to grow and make strides, which makes mommy & daddy very pleased! It is amazing how he is able to see something one time and then figure it out. Also, Alex has now mastered how to climb up and down the stairs as well as get on and off the couch without assistance. Of course, sometimes he finds it entertaining to DIVE off the couch or use the couch as a trampoline....so needless to say- he is all boy!

Yesterday, we met with the staff of Early Intervention (through Chester Co. IU) to develop his Individualized Family Service Plan. This is a listing of goals and objectives for which we hope Alex will achieve/gain over the next 6 months. It was decided that Alex will be receiving OT services once a week as well as his own personal early childhood teacher, who will meet with him once week. So, other than these 2 services, he will be visited by a speech therapist once a month. Top of the line for this little bugger- I tell ya!

So, here are some more recent pictures for everyone:


This one is a picture of Alex the Pirate- ARG!!!!!

The next shot is Alex trying on daddy's shoes after breakfast.... "Hmm, they look like mine, but something seems different."


The last picture I am including took place at my grandparents house this past weekend. I gave Alex a bowl of homemade pasta and a meatball. He took a few bites and didn't seem that interested. Then, my Poppop took over.... that little stinker ate the entire bowl, the meatball, 3 glasses of milk, and some watermelon!!!! I am thinking of having a rotating schedule of visitors to come feed Alex at mealtime, since obviously he enjoys variety! Well, that's all for now. I hope you are all enjoying the summer, as we are~
Tootles!
