January 27 we celebrated Maddox Ren's 1/2 birthday with a mommy/daddy/Maddox date to ChuckECheese....

 She enjoyed her moment of being the "only" child!  

 Maryn was evaluated when we came home six months ago for early intervention services.  She qualified for occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy.  Today, she is almost all caught up!  She is learning to dress and undress, feed herself without making an incredible mess, hold her writing utensil correctly, puzzles, etc....she is doing amazing in OT!  Speech was never really a large concern but the therapist has come once each month to check in just to be sure all was well!  And, all is well.  She talks and sings all.the.time.  And still repeats everything we say!  Physical therapy is going well too!  We have been going to a local gym twice monthly for the past few months.  Maryn loves jumping on the trampolines, walking on the balance beams, kicking the balls, walking on the treadmill, and jumping into the pit of foam squares!  

 Our little one also loves to read and listen to others read aloud to her.  She was making me laugh one morning as she took our read aloud book for school and pretended to read to us!

 Maddox will be in my cousin's wedding in March!  She is super excited and could not wait to try her dress on!

Our sweet little-big girl is no longer taking daily naps but we can almost be sure that she will fall asleep in the car....

and she is just too cute not to photograph when she sleeps....

I love and admire that she has always been able to sleep regardless of where she is!
