Halloween Pictures and Updates

Happy Halloween a week late. :) The girls were ladybugs (not too thrilled with that at all) and Josh was a Power Ranger. Josh had a good time trick or treating - he actually said Trick or Treat and Thank You - 1 time. :) He really is getting better about talking to people.

The girls went to a few houses, but they were not impressed with their ladybug outfits, so we took them home and put them in something more comfy. :)

I think all of the sickness is out of the house. Emma's been a little constipated (Callie was too for a couple of days after the tummy bug), so as soon as we get her regular again, all will be good.

Josh has been having some listening problems in school. He has a friend that he plays with and when they're together, they lose complete focus - they get totally out of control and forget to listen (they sound like a bunch of giggly girls). So, the teacher is keeping them separated as much as possible and that seems to be helping.

The girls are growing so fast - they'll be 9 months next week! When did that happen?

Emma has an OT evaluation today (Callie's already had hers). It will be interesting to see what they say. They want Callie to come in for therapy once a week for 3-6 months. I think we need to re-evaluate that - we just can't possibly make it that often for that long (especially since I don't feel her problems are severe). I do agree that there are some things we can work with Callie, but I don't feel she needs to be seen weekly - they can give us some at home exercises. Callie doesn't roll over very well (although she is getting much better). She also stiffens up when you hold her. However, over the last couple of weeks, she has gotten much better at cuddling. :) That makes me very happy!! Before, she would just stay stiff and wouldn't relax against your shoulder - now, she volutarily snuggles against my shoulder.

I don't feel like Emma's going to need much at all - she seems to be passing Callie up with her milestones (even though it started out the other way around). :)

Both girls are just blossoming.

Oh! Before I forget, Callie has her 2nd tooth now. :) So, both girls now have 2 teeth (bottom).
