18 months

Actually, at this point it is 19 months.  I can't believe summer is just about over...I feel like it just started.  We've kept busy and I will post pictures soon of what we've been up to.  We tried a couple of times to get some decent photos of these two at 18 months, but had no luck.  They never stop moving! 

Our biggest hurdle right now is that these two just aren't talking as much as they should be.  We had them evaluated and they will both be getting speech therapy once a week. Norah just barely qualified, but Rowan has more of a significant delay.  Rowan also qualified for developmental therapy once a week. I'm quite bummed by this, feeling like I am not doing enough or that I am taking the wrong approach.  We've struggled with Rowan from day one, so I know this will be a good and necessary step right now. 

A few things about Rowan:
  • he was 25lbs 2oz; 33 inches (2ft 9inches) at his 18 month check up
  • still refuses to eat any meat or cheese; thankfully he at least likes yogurt
  • his favorites are pickles, goldfish, and most fruits
  • still my sweet, generous, and cuddly little boy

 

 


And Norah:
  • she was 26lbs 5oz; 34.5 inches (2ft 10.5 inches) -  this gal is going to be tall!
  • loves to eat but is getting a bit pickier; as long as it has either peanut butter or ketchup on it...she will eat it!  She will pick fruit over any junk foods/cookies/carbs.
  • she really likes to be outside exploring, climbing, and scraping up her knees
  • most of the time she is quite happy and silly; only cries when she is over-tired or getting her face and hands washed...and when we go to the church nursery :)
