{The Past} Week In Paradise

Landon and I joined Addi's preschool class to Pastor's Jason house to visit his families baby chicks and chickens. They have many very happy chickens with a lot of room to scratch and roam.

Miss Jen gave the kids all sorts of egg info.

Deciding who has the craziest hair.

On Thursday the kids and I drove to Missoula for Landon's developmental evaluation. Landon is doing very well and developing normally. His cognitive functions are scoring above his actual age of 21 months. His fine and gross motor skills score right at 21 months. The speech therapist who evaluated Landon recommended he starts seeing a speech therapist. There is a large discrepancy in Landon's expressive language and cognitive understanding, meaning although he understands everything we say to him he uses only a few words and attempts infrequently to say new words. He is still very tiny for his age and his height, weight and head circumference is in the 10th percentile for his actual age. Other than that he is doing very, very well. We will be looking into getting Landon an in-home speech therapist as soon as possible.

A special new ball for being great at his appointment.

This big news of the week is obviously our new baby, Nugget. Both kids are rarely without him. Landon enjoys being particularly close to him. He loves feeding Nugget banana and even locks himself in with Nugget in his cage!

Daddy has been out fishing a bit this past week. He was so excited to tell us he fed a wild gopher a snicker's bar. Come on babe, Keep Nature Wild 101 -- Don't feed the wildlife!
