Where has the time gone?

I haven't been good about keeping the blog updated. That is most likely due to the fact that I don't have babies anymore....these toddlers are out of control. They get into everything and don't give anyone much time to do anything but chase after them!

We have alot going on. Jacob was evaluated and approved for Early Intervention Services. He is seeing an Occupational Therapist, a Special Instructor, and a Speech Therapist. He hasn't made too much progress up to this point. We took him to a Specialist at Bryn Mawr Hospital and they have recommended an Intensive Therapy Schedule...which means more therapy than he is currently receiving (right now it is every other week with each therapist). She also recommended that we see a developmental specialist to see if we can get a diagnosis. Unfortunately I am not having much luck in that department.

Carter is doing well. He was fitted for sure step braces for his ankles/feet in December and is finally getting used to wearing them. They are supposed to help build an arch in his feet since he is flat footed. He walks with his left ankle turned in and this will help correct that as well. Since he started walking we reduced his physical therapy to every other week and he is still receiving speech and occupational therapy every other week as well.

They looked good at their 18 month appointment last month. Jacob weighed 24 pound 3.5 ounces and was 32.25 inches tall. Carter was 23.3 pounds and 31.25 inches tall. Both are cutting teeth and have been in horrible pain. They have been not sleeping as well and trying to transition to one nap per day which has been difficult on all of us!

I don't get as many pictures as I used to because they just don't sit still long enough! I will try to post a few soon though.
