I cant believe its been a month!

Okay, so its November...I didn't post once in October!! That is bad!!

Sooo...news news! Taysen is not autistic. :) He has been diagnosed with Sensory Integration Dysfunction/Disorder. It was a couple weeks ago that we found out, but its just been busy! Also, Taysen started Occupational therapy in October. He goes twice a week. He has a busy little schedule now!

Mon- Early Intervention 9-11a
Tues-OT 8-9a and Speech 9:30-10:30a
Wed-Early Intention 9-11a and OT 4-5p

Thursday and Friday he doesnt have any set appointments or therapies (unless they are just normal once in a while checkups) so those are just our lazy days where we sit around watching Noggin all day because we are exhausted. Haha.

Rowan has finally started the normal crawling...and it only took her about a week to fly through the house on her knees. Her little knees are so dried out they are like white callouses! Ill be glad when she can use her feet! She is starting to babble a lot, her only word right now is Uh Oh...haha. She makes lots of sounds though.

Taysen has come really far in the last month. He is talking so much that we are really starting to understand a lot of what he is saying. For example two mornings ago, he was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal (BY HIMSELF WITH HIS OWN SPOON!!!!YAY!!!THAT WAS JUST TACKLED THIS PAST WEEK!!! GO TAYSEN!) and he starts singing this song...at first, Im just thinking he is goofing around, until I really pay attention, listening and watching. He says "Cap Cap Cap" (while clapping his hands) Then he says "Wol Wol Wol" (then rolls his hands) then "Pat Pat Pat" (as he pats his thighs) yells "Stom Stom Stom!" (while he stomps his feet) then says "AND STOP!" (and puts his hands on the top of his head...) Then he reaches his hands up says something and I almost fell over because I could understand what he was saying "weech up high to da sty!" (Reach up high to the sky) And to top it off he says "Awight!!" while he waves his hands up in the air! It was so stinking cute! I wish I had a video camera for that moment. Then on Sunday he had an open house at his school and I asked his teacher and therapists about the song, asking if they sing something like that...and they both get all giddy and say "Taysen's singing our song!!" and then Heidi, his speech therapist says "He has never ever sang that in class with us, he just stares at us like we are crazy!" So Im sure that made her day...haha. Made mine too. :) So at least we know he is paying attention! Haha. And also, he has learned how to count to three. :) He sometimes says "toot" for two...lol. He knows a couple shapes now, heart, start, square, circle, and triangle. Im so proud of him!

Ok well I guess that is it for now...I cant really think of anything else right at the moment. But I promise I wont wait another month to post again!

(OH and last, that little button I added on the side, MckMiracle, is a blog that I have been reading for about a month now. I first found it and thought her kids were adorable, so read a little, then read about her pregnancy and how her baby boy had a heart problem that was figured out at her 20 week appt and they told her basically her baby would die. Anyhow, I kept reading hoping that her little man would come out ok at least long enough to get surgery to help him, and what do you know, she had her little boy, and he is fine and never even needed surgery or anything at all!! So I just thought I would add it on here, its a nice little blog with some adorable kids on it!! )

Hope you are all doing well!! :)
