I hope everyone had a nice weekend; our weekend was a big long lounge fest. We spend the weekend hanging out at home and doing a whole lot of nothing which was a great change of pace. We did have a monumental event happen (well monumental for us anyway). Justin was working on this all weekend and last night around 7 o’clock it finally happened. Justin got Jack to say “I Love You”!!! I know he doesn’t really understand the words he is saying, but it is still the best thing in the world to hear :-) He has started learning words by either hearing them spelled to him while looking at a book, or just verbally said to him (What can I say he loves letters). So now, when he hears the letters I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U spelled he says I love you. He then moves past the spelling stage, will repeat the phrase, and then eventually learns the name of an actual object/thing. He is making tremendous progress in the talking department. We are still working very hard at improving his receptive language (following directions and doing things upon request) and with him mimicking actions but we are moving in the right directions. He has come such a long way in the past year and I it seems that with everyday he is learning a new thing. So proud of my little man :-)
Today is our least busy day of the week and we are planning on getting out this morning, doing a little Christmas shopping, and hitting the grocery store, if he can stay awake for all that activity. Jack seems to enjoy getting up early on Monday mornings and really loves to fall asleep in the car, but we’ll see how far we get. The rest of the week, he has his usual appointments, along with a playgroup and I am going to be helping a new friend by watching her daughter one day. This little girl is riot and its fun to watch the two of them interact. I am going to have a mom’s night out with my friend Lindsey, we are going to go see The Grinch the musical in Dallas and I can’t wait I think it will be a great show.
The other thing I am looking forward to is my trip back to Springfield to see my best friend Kristin and her daughter Elise. We don’t get many opportunities to see each other since she lives in Florida and now we live in Texas. The last time I saw them was last Christmas, so I am so excited to get to spend the weekend hanging out with her and her daughter.
I hope to have a chance to post again before the weekend arrives, but this week’s schedule is full so we will have to wait and see. Hope everyone enjoys there week.
I want to wish my mother-in-law and father-in-law a Happy Anniversary today!
