June post

So I am trying to get a post in before July gets here! We are just a few weeks away from the boys first birthday!!! I can't believe that they will be a year old!

The boys are doing great. Jacob took his first steps earlier in the month. Just three steps but not much more. He is so close to walking....he is into everything he can find. He is extremely independent. He is happy to play alone and he doesn't want your help during meals. He wants to feed himself. He loves pretty much anything you give him. Thank goodness....so far no picky eaters!

Carter is good! He started his water therapy and it seems to be helping. He is a great swimmer. He absolutely loves the water. He is army crawling all over the place and he is pulling himself up on toys. He doesn't have much balance but he really wants to do what Jacob does. He is very stubborn and I think he is a little lazy! He wants us to do everything for him...but the good news is that he can do alot...even if he doesn't want to!! He is eating alot more table foods now. He still has a little trouble and we have to feed him but it is so much better than before.

His therapy sessions seem to be really helping. He was given a developmental exam on the 21st by therapists at Bryn Mawr Hospital. They said his gross motor skills were at 7 months, fine motor skills were at 6 months and his communication skills were at about 9-10 months. So he is behind but not terribly so. Looking forward to hearing what the Special Babies clinic says about him next month at Jefferson!!!
