Update on our Alex

Weight: 30.8 ounce and in the 25 %
Height : 38 inches and in the 75 %
He is doing much better now and is progressing really well in school. His doctor thinks that I may not be autistic and if he is there is a chance that he will be just fine in time for kindergarten ( THAT IS AWESOME NEWS). His teacher wanted us to get him tested but the doctor thinks that it is unnecessary so we will wait and see.

 Here are a few of his progress from school that he can do with help by his teacher just using verbal instructions

• Can match two objects that are the same 
• Can match two pictures that are the same
• Can point to a picture in a book
• Can draw a circle after a model
• Hold crayon in first grasp
• Like to write name and line up crayon
• Can write his own name  and recognize it on paper
• He play with adults with physical assistance and verbal modeling

And here are a few things he just started doing

• Participate in large or small group
• making eye contact when talking to

I am so proud of all the progress he is making and hopeful he will be ready on time for kindergarten.

WE LOVE ALEX AND ARE PROUD OF YOUR LEARNING SKILLS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING YOU GROW AND DEVELOP.

Family Pictures 2011

Thanks to our friend Rebecca for taking the time to take our family pics...I LOVE THEM ALL:)

Fun, Fun, Fun

Today was surprisingly warm enough, so we spend our day outside in the big field behind our apartment playing in the leaves and enjoying the nice weather while it last. Alex did a lot better this year and even let us buried him in a little pile of leaves that I was able to make without a rake...We had an awesome time and if tomorrow is as nice, we might even do the same thing while getting our laundry done. I really like this time of the year even if it is a little bit too cold outside.

 Genne was having with fun her shadow, she was actually dancing too...Silly girl!!!

 Alex even let Genne buried him :)

 Genne had the most fun...She definately knows how to enjoy a pile of leaves.
