The Return of Rainbows

Sounds like a good title to something. :) Children's book???

Rainbows was the therapy we used for Caden when we came home from the hospital. Sarah was awesome! He graduated a few months ago. Can't remember exactly when. Anyway, I called her the other day for consult. His speech is behind. Quite a bit.

The social worker came out yesterday. We just had to give her our insurance info and stuff like that. She has very little authority to say whether or not they will take his case or not, but she did say that from what she saw, he will most likely get speech therapy.

He just doesn't talk. He barely puts two words together and he still uses baby words sometimes. We really didn't think too much of it until we were hanging out with some friends of ours and their little girl was using complete sentences! Complete! And constantly. They're the same age... a week apart. I know that everyone says that once they start talking, you'll wish they weren't, but I really can't wait. I know that he's very smart, and anyone that's ever met him can see that. He just needs to learn how to communicate better.

The two speech therapists come out to the house next Monday to do the full evaluation, so we'll see. I really like Rainbow's. They did amazing things for him when we came home from the hospital, before he could hold his head up on his own. In the year she was coming out, he made soooo much progress. I can't wait to see what they have to say next week!

I'll keep you posted.

I have been taking more pictures too, I just need to get them on here. :)

So things have been going well. Caden's going through a growth spurt. He's getting so tall, and it seems like he's getting skinnier, but that's hard to say. I was thinking the other day that (knock on wood) Caden hasn't been to the doctor yet this year. WOW ok, so it's only a little over two months, but that's huge!!!! :)

Cameron had his surgery on the 23rd. He went to his checkup yesterday. It went well. Well...

Paul had to take Cameron (and Caden) to his 2 month checkup yesterday for his shots and such. That was in the morning. Then, right after lunch Cameron had his checkup from surgery. Paul called me after the appointment to let me know how things had gone. While they were waiting (20 minutes) for the Dr. to come in, Caden pooped. He doesn't like poopy in his diaper any longer than it has to be. (We need to start potty training for real) So, Caden's now fussy and poopy. Then, Cameron decided to blow his diaper out as well. :) Then the Dr. came in and had to feel around Cameron's groin for the hernias. He got breastmilk poopy (gross) all over his fingers. lol Paul said it stunk so bad in there between the two poopy diapers. He had left the diapers in the car, because he was expecting it to be a short follow up visit.

When they got back to the car, he put them one by one in the trunk to change their diapers. LOL I wish I could have seen that! :)

And now, some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

The two boys getting ready for the big game! :)

He's flexing for the camera. See his bruise from the IV? He's doing great though.

Caden LOVES to get out that hair gel and play with it. He rubs it on his face like lotion. LOL He did daddy's hair, and it actually looked decent when he was done! :)
