Happy Birthday Jack!!!

Well its official, Jack is 3 years old today!  We have had a great weekend that included spending time with family and having a Cars themed birthday party for Jack.  He really enjoyed opening his presents this year and thanks to our great friends and family he got some really nice gifts that he loves.  We have been cleaning up today since the party was yesterday afternoon and relaxing. 

Last week was full of activity.  Jack's Auntie Joyce flew in on Wednesday and we had the meeting with the school district  on Thursday.  Jack is going to be starting preschool next fall.  He will be in a special education program that will focus on his educational needs and he will get lots of one-on-one attention.  He will be going to school 5 days a week, six hours a day.  He also had his final visits from his ECI therapists last week, which was harder on mommy than it was on him :-) 

We are getting ready for the summer and the weather is already starting to heat up.  Hope everyone has enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend!

Two months old...and a few days :-)

Peyton turned two months old last Friday.  She is getting so big!  We went to the Dr for her check up and she weighted in at 12 pounds 1 ounce and was 23 inches long!  She is in the 90th percentile for weight and head size and 75th percent for height.  She is smiling at us now and likes when we sing to her.  I get Jack to help me sing to her, his favorite is twinkle, twinkle little star :-)

We have started planning Jack's birthday party(s) :-)  We are having a playgroup party on Thursday and a friends and family party on Sunday.  The theme this year is Cars since it is Jack's favorite movie.  We will be doing a lot of prep work this weekend.  I still can't believe that my baby is turning 3! 

Jack has been doing really well with his therapy and has started to do more pretend play.  He likes to play with my doll house that my grandfather made for me when I was little.  We have also started letting him play with his water table since the weather is getting warmer and he loves that!   The next few weeks are going to be full of activity so I will try and update again soon. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the nice spring weather!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow mom's out there.  I have had a great day so far.  Peyton slept well only waking up at 5:30 to eat and then going back to sleep until 9 this morning :-)  Woke up to Justin and Jack making me breakfast, which Justin told me Jack helped him make by pouring the milk into the mix and stirring the batter.  I got two new pairs of running shorts, a gift certificate to get a mani/pedi and Justin wants me to pick out a charm with the kids birthstones on it.  He is also at the grocery store right now getting stuff to make us dinner tonight...I am such a lucky mom!!!

I hope that everyone has a great weekend!

Hello, it's May?

Where has the time gone.  I can't believe that Peyton will be two months old next week and that Jack will be turning 3 at the end of the month.  Things here have been busy.  We are going to start planning Jack's party and have been doing some spring cleaning.  Jack has been busy with therapy sessions and playgroups.  I am sad that this will be the last month with his ECI therapists. I feel very lucky to have had them in our lives for the last year and a half.  They have helped Jack accomplish so much.  He will have the summer and then he will begin preschool in the fall...My BABY is starting SCHOOL?!?! 

I have already signed Jack up for swim lessons this summer and we are looking forward to a relaxing beach vacation with my folks.  We have had some crazy weather lately and yesterday we were stuck inside all day due to the rain.  Today is beautiful and the weather is perfect so I took the kids out for a walk around the neighborhood.  We bought a new stroller for Peyton and some stroller connectors so I could create a double stroller so I was excited to see how it worked...happy to report it worked very well..

Peyton is demanding my attention so I must go.  I hope everyone is having a nice spring and I will write again soon.
