Since I'm so behind...

Since I've been so behind, I figured I should catch up with a little bit of the things I missed blogging about.
This will probably be all over the place, and I may have already talked about some of this stuff.

Meredith had been doing physical therapy since about February, I'm sure I mentioned that months ago.
Well, on Monday June 4th she took her first real steps all alone. A little over a week later we were at therapy, on Thursday, June 14th and she was being so difficult. Completely uncooperative. Didn't want to do anything.
Well, don't you know that later that afternoon at home the little stinker started walking. Like for real, took off across the room walking. We were ecstatic to tell Sarah, the physical therapist on Monday, and then our last scheduled appointment was that Thursday and was our last appointment.
:-)
So that was one more hurdle down for us!!!
Between that and the eye surgery being done it was quite a weight lifted off me.



She is also really starting to talk a lot more now. I guess she's technically a little behind, as Logan was, but she is suddenly trying a lot harder to talk and coming up with more words.
As of right now she says (not perfectly):
mama
dada
papa
no & nono
ya & yaya
byebye
nightnight
up
hi
hello
gabba (as in yo gabba gabba)

I'm sure there might be a couple more, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

As far as Logan's speech goes, we actually got him evaluated for an IEP through the school and he will be attending preschool (for free! yay!), in 2 weeks!! He is actually really, really excited. He went to the actual school once, when he got his speech evaluation done. (Today when we were driving by it, he was pointing and yelling "my school!" Which was very cute. I'm shocked he remembered since he only was at it once!) They told me his receptive language is amazing, but it's his expressive language that is lacking.Definite problems pronouncing some letters, and he has a tendency to drop off the ends of words sometimes. So I'm still awaiting all the formal information as far as days, times, etc are concerned, but we are both thrilled he's going. He put on his backpack yesterday and looked up at me with those big, blue eyes and completely seriously says "I cool mommy?" Which was him asking "Do i look cool mommy?" with his backpack on. And he was begging to go to school. He was driving me nuts again today asking. It's really cute.
I can only hope he loves it as much once he starts going!! I'm a little nervous. He's never been to any sort of preschool or daycare or anything, so the thought of him being somewhere, and me not being there or knowing what he's doing all day is a little nerve-wracking for me!! I'm sure he will do great though. I'm glad he seems excited to go. At least I shouldn't have to worry about any crying or anxiety over going.
