I will keep him in my thoughts. I hope all goes well!

Jenna, It all sounds like CA to me! I feel like I have really had to fight for some of the services we have. It is really frustrating and angry making, but well worth our efforts! Go get 'em girl!

OMG, she is sooooo cute in her tennis and overalls! Love the hair. I found a couple of good types of shoes for Avery over the past year. We started her in Robeez when she was cruising and moved to ...

AMAZING! Reading skills are just amazing when they "get it". My oldest is now reading and it is too cool!

Is she just the cutest thing ever? Yes, she is! YAY EMMA

I am so glad that you started this thread. I have been struggling with the same questions. Right now Avery has a spot reserved at both preschools and I really think that I may go with the special ne ...

I'll just throw in one more option in the mix...Monterey. I grew up in Monterey and the weather is not always great, but it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! The beaches are beautiful, but the water is cold. ...

It sounds like you put a ton of thought into what Megan needed. That also sounds like the direction that I am heading too. Although I doubt we will get enough services being that CA is TERRIBLE with ...

Give her our best. I hope all goes well with recovery!

I am sure that we had similar thoughts about our children during dx time. It was aweful. I never cried so much in all my life. I experienced every emotion there was to experience. I don't remember ...

I just continued to take my girls out with smaller crowds of people and worked my way up. They both are terribly social now and I think because we just never gave up. Try her out in public, but in a ...

Both my girls were always tummy sleepers. If I put them on their backs they would sleep 20 min and on the tummy was 2 house. When they can rollover, they sleep however they want.

Avery too! She is all over the place and into everything! I have trouble keeping up with her somedays. I take it as a sign of intelligence. I think she just wants to know about everything. Maybe ...

That is exactly what we needed to hear about her! YAY, She is doing great!

Avery's came in practically all at once too. First the bottom two and one top. Then the top ant two sides. Next she added two molars at one time. and then another two molars. She was super fussy f ...

Oh my, it all sounds very scary. I have been struggling with the inclusion versus the special ed classroom as well. It is still a year away, but it feels like a big decision. What choices were giv ...

He sounds like he is doing great! Our Ped uses the typical chart as well. Avery was around 18% for height and 31% for weight. SHe has a big round belly! I love that he shows off for the Ped. That ...

We will let you go, but under one condition....you bring back TONS of pictures! Sounds like a wonderful week!

[quote="kathleen"]Sorry that I didn't elaborate about that. I don't remember the link, but it was in the questions section for Miralax and Glycolax users. I am terrible about finding past ...

We tried a lot of natural remedies...Yogurt, pear and prune juice, karo syrup, flax oil, and apricot juice. Avery was fearful, crying and bleeding EVERY time she pooped. It was rock hard and one sol ...

Oh, so sweet. I LOVE all the pics. Darah with her buddies. She is getting so big and her hair is so long! Wow, and $2,000! that's great. It looks like everything went well.

Sigh....what a relief! I am so happy that the results were good. I know it was VERY stressful for you all. Great news.

Good to hear things are going well. Delphine is such a little doll baby! She is amazing!

When Avery was at that stage, I found it helpful to take her to wide open spaces. We would drop Mackenzie off at school and then we would stay to walk. She found so many new things to get to that sh ...

Wow, you have had quite a few exciting days! WTG big boy, just keep those steps coming!

Wow, that definately leaves me with an amazing feeling. I have happy tears too. I know what you mean by being the mayor everywhere you go. When we took our cruise last month EVERYONE knew Avery by ...

Ds is a wild ride..full of ups and downs and sharp curves. Every time I see a curve, I duck my head and hang on tight and fight the adrenaline...Austin on the other hand...lifts his face up to the sky ...

Finally home, YAY! I am so glad to hear that he was doing well enough to go home. I hope it is smooth sailing from now on out. Please keep us posted. Happy healing for Koby! Kisses and good thoug ...

Well her eval was done at 22 mos instead of 24. Basically she falls in the 17-19 month range on just about all categories except gross motor. It still seems to be her biggest deficit at 16-18 mos. ...

Oh, I just loved that. I wish there was more....she is absolutely amazing! I have huge tears knowing that Avery will be there someday soon. Thank you for sharing that gorgeous little girl of yours ...

When my oldest was in that stage we did a nap about every two or three days. She just could not make it all week wihout one. We also would hve to keep her busy so that she wouldn't fall asleep befor ...

Hang in there. No, I really mean it! hang in there. Keep that baby calm for a while. Give Natalie a hug from us. She sounds wonderful!

Unbelievable! I gotta give you credit for being so patient with her. i would have lost it the second she came for the eval and sat on a chair! I can't remember the last time I sat on our furniture ...

Thank you for the warning. We are scheduled for next week. I will have to check with the Ped.... Thanks again, appreciate the info.

How exciting! I think we may try for FEB! Let us know how it goes....

It is about time that someithing more punative was done! It still amkes me sick that that went on for SEVEN mos!

sniff sniff....I want to go! WAAAAA! I think we are in Puerto Vallarta that week. I would so love to meet so many of you! I get so jealous when I hear about the gatherings. I am still in for Aug o ...

I can't believe it is already here! She seems so little still, but then I see her pictures and my how she has grown! I am already dreading the jump to preeschool and I still have a year.... Your he ...
