Justice: Justice has been officially diagnosed with ADHD. This is his 3rd week on medications and all I can say is WOW! He is sleeping again...yay...his handwriting and coloring has improved GREATLY and he sat down and watched an ENTIRE movie...fabulous. I sat and watched him watch the movie it was amazing...mouth open staring into TV space...never has that happened...every kid should be able to do that every once in a while!

Savannah: Savannah has GREATLY improved. She is still in feeding, speech and occupational therapy. As well as being seen by an Early Interventionist at the house. She is really starting to talk a lot! She is a HAM! She has lots of crazy quirks about her...sensory related mostly...she has to have her shoes on..the wrong feet...all the time. She does not want to eat hardly ANYTHING that isn't crunchy, white, and well...bread. She has this strange thing with her feet...she drops to the floor saying oweeee oweeee...and takes her shoes and socks (IF she has them on) off..rubs her feet and puts her shoes on...repeat...
She is now aware of her urinating ... oh fun...but...she SCREAMS when she pees and yells...ow ow ow ow like it is hurting...no there is nothing medically wrong...she just is interpreting uncomfortableness with pain. Long long potty training road ahead....

Marcus: Marcus is FINALLY gaining some weight :) At his 1 year appt. today he weighed in at 18 lbs 11 oz. and 28 3/4 inches short...I mean..tall... :D He is eating a little now and will drink from a sippy cup. Although you have to watch him because he will unscrew the lid and spill it EVERYWHERE!!! His iron levels are up a little but still nt where they should be. Baby steps..as long as they are forward moving I am GOOD!

Momma and Dadda are all fine...completely exhausted...but good.

I know it has been 10 days since the birthday party for the babies...and I do have pictures I just have to sit down long enough to post them....I will...I promise!

It was lots of fun and seeing everyone was amazing :)

Why the name Jethro??

Well...because it's cool!

Here is the meaning which was actually looked up after the name stuck :)

Noun

1.

eminence - high status importance owing to marked superiority; "a scholar of great eminence" preeminence, distinction, note high status - a position of superior status king - preeminence in a particular category or group or field; "the lion is the king of beasts"

Fits perfectly!

To give you a better idea of his size here is a picture of his paw by my standard size cell phone :)


Here are the boys crawling around together minutes after we arrived home from picking up our new baby.


We brought Jethro inside for a few minutes after the kids went to bed and he ended up wedged under the coffee table asleep :D Cute huh?




Jethro is our outdoor baby to watch over and protect us and our mini farm we have started :) The kids love him...well..except for Savannah who is having a difficult time adjusting due to some sensory issues. (not a fan of fur) It will be good for her in the end. Right now is tough though...desensitization is the best therapy and well he definitely is EXACTLY what she doesn't like..LOTS of fluff!

Here is Officer Justice on Halloween :)

Handsome isn't he? I personally do not know anyone that has a more fitting name to wear this costume!

The babies haven't been feeling well and got shots the day before so the 2 big boys went out and had a blast!!! Thank you everyone that gave him tootsie rolls YUMMMMM.... :D
