Lanie's First Day Of School/Liam Update

Miss Lanie Bug is growing up so quickly! It's hard to believe she's 5 1/2 and started school. Its seems like just yesterday she was born...

Like just yesterday she was climbing to lay across it and eat snacks...

And trying to grow up way to fast...

And now shes started kindegarten, got her ears peirced, has homework, and is 5 going on 15.

9/15/13 Lanie's first day of school

Followed by a trip to the mall to get her ears pierced. She choose the Make-A-Wish stars and $5 was donated to the foundation. 

First assignment brought home from Kindegarten. They read Chick A Chick A Boom Boom.

She said it was an awesome book and we just have to buy it :)

Since School started she's been thriving.

They learnt how to be "whole body listeners" and she's been getting stickers for listening.

She got a sticker for ignoring some kids who were trying to disrupt the class.

She's been bringing home alot of assignments they did in school,

including one picture of a "legless pelican" Lanie thought was hilarious.

Lanie has made lots of friends at school.

She comes home talking about how they played on the swings and slide.

They play Batman and have races.

So far there has been 4 birthday in her class.

She gets all excited when she comes out on birthday days because so far all the kids brought cupcakes for everyone.

She just brought her first set of homework done tuesday.

Before that she kept begging for homework.

Really!! Not fibbing here!

Shocking I know but she LOVES school and I am so happy.

Lanie's wearing the awesome high stop cheetah shoes her Tia and Uncle bought her.

Forever and always, Love Bug, forever and always.

Liam is doing good. Still waiting on CCS to approve the foot specialist for him. 

He's getting so tall now that he's getting enough calories and nutrition.

I started on the Blended Diet back in July and he doubled his daily goals for weight gain.

He's finnaly growing in height, and has been trying to talk alot.

His words aren't the clearest but he has been referred to speech therapy.

Besides the height gain,

the most exciting part is....

HE STARTED DRINKING WATER!!!

He only drinks out of a specific type of sippie cup and it HAS to be plain room temp water.

He's drink up to 12oz per day by mouth now!!!

Thats HUGE!!

He is having some issues holding the sippie cup high enough to drink out of it.

His hands barely go above his shoulders when he is trying to drink so I've been having to hold it for him.

We think he's having issues with his neck muscles and arms.

He tends to lay his head down alot while playing like his head or neck is tired.

His new PT also said he has low muscle tone in his abdomen as well and will be bringing me some exersizes

to help strengthen him.
