Always something and somewhere to be! I guess mostly it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been appointments preparing for Lainey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s upcoming surgery. Today, she had her speech therapy evaluation. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve recommended that she have sessions twice a week to help her with her language delay. The clinician estimated her expressive language to be around the 10-12 month age range. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not worried, though. She is learning more and more everyday, copying our actions and beginning to mimic our sounds. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only been home a little more than 3 weeks, and the clinician was impressed with how well she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doing. Lainey is now using 3 signs \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u0153more\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153water\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153milk\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Abbey taught her \u00e2\u20ac\u0153shoes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d today in the car AS she was taking her shoes off.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2147\/2363113746_4c04cee89a.jpg\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; oops, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been caught &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Backtracking a little\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6we had a nice day last Saturday that included a baseball game for the boys, playing outside, and a great Mexican dinner.

I, for one, am glad this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t acceptable behavior for anyone other than babies! No pics of the boys this time, I only had the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153wimpy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d camera. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll take some at this coming Saturday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s game. By the way, they are 4-0, the ONLY undefeated team left in their division. Woo hoo!!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2411\/2362282981_f8f22edc59.jpg\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The big kids love to pull Lainey around in our wagon. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the tables are turned! Does Marley look happy about it??<\/p>\n<p>There is a new, very authentic Mexican restaurant in our area and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been there twice so far\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6once, a few days before leaving for China and then last Saturday. Lainey (no surprise here) LOVED it. Her favorite was swiping tastes of the sour cream on my plate. Here she is clapping along to the live mariachi band that was playing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3275\/2362282881_ba88d98519.jpg\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And, seeing a big fan, they decided to serenade her personally\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3291\/2363113898_60e3febfae.jpg\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wish I could have seen her face!<\/p>\n<p>For those of you wondering, guess who Lainey now likes? Yep, Jack! Our dog is officially out of the doghouse. She still would prefer that he keep his lickity tongue off of her face, but he gets quite a bit of attention from her. I was worried she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d take a huge step backwards when he literally plowed her down in the yard yesterday. He didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean to, he was just excited about running around. She cried a bit, but then was fine. Just another sign that the girl is meant to be here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a family on the go.
