Our little one-year old William is walking now! He's all over the place. He is so cute, just toddling around. And he jabbers. All day long. . .

Thomas has made a lot of progress the last 8 weeks with a new speach therapist. He actually has what might be considered a "vocabulary", but it is a mix of words, signs, and picture exchanges. He is acquiring about 2 words per week. If you are the least bit interested, here are his words.

Vocalization:
dog
quack
boo!
ow!--this is his word that means "I don't like what you're doing"

Signs:
more
dog
duck
horse
plane
helicopter
sock
cheese--this one he used independently yesterday for the first time! Yee haw!

Picture exchange--which we are just starting, and only includes desirable things:
m&m
swedish fish
oreo
mater movie
toy car
book
(he avoids the picture of the diaper :)

So, there is his progress. He'll be three on Saturday, and I can't believe how far he has come in a year and a half. I am really grateful to all of the therapists that have been working so hard with him.

And on the personal side, I now have three daughters wearing bras!!!

Well, ttfn!

Its so nice to read the updates on your family. Sounds like they all really keep you busy. I hadn't done much blog hopping for quite a while or even updating mine very often. I enjoyed getting to know the older ones last summer at the reunion.
