Autumn Update

I know... I've been horrible about posting. But I'm hopeful I can be better about it. I find this has been the best way to journal all of our little adventures..
Gavin spent 6 weeks in his cast this summer and then declined for four weeks afterward. Wouldn't sit up, scoot, lie on his stomach and cringed when we would start to pick him up. After four weeks of declining behavior I scheduled him for seven therapy sessions in ten days. We've bypassed traditional Physical Therapy (made hime scream and cry) for somethign called Anat Baniel Method based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais. Within the first two sessions, Gavin began sitting up, scooting - EVERYTHING! Mostly, I drive him to Lansing (2 hrs one way) for therapy a couple times of month. Ideally, Gavin would have therapy 8-10 times per month, but insurance doesn't cover it, so...... The improvements in Gavin have been miraculous and he continues to prove the doctors wrong. I love that about him!

Chase will turn 3 in November and is every bit a busy little boy. AT 2 he didn't speak. Now he talks non stop and we can't believe how much he knows. Last week he began explaining (while we drove down the road) that I needed to move the lever down. It took a while before we understood he was telling us how to shift the car into, drive. I just hope he doesn't try to take the car for a drive on his own....

Parker turned one in June and is adorable, busy and a little talker! We're still trying to get used to having a little one who talks- all the time.

more later.....
