Summer time...bring it on!!

I can't believe it's almost summer!!!  We have lots of fun plans, and it's getting more and more fun with the kids getting bigger.  Vivian's vocabulary and understanding of the world has just grown incredibly this year, especially since she's been in preschool!!  We are going to have her screened for her hearing and to see if there's any sensory issues that are contributing to her sensitivity to sound, and her anxiety about people watching her, or paying any attention to her.  Even if it's not something, I sure hope they can at least give us some ideas to help her deal with her anxieties so she can be a happy girl!  I am leery to sign her up for anything because of her issues with sound, and people watching her.  I want her to enjoy things she loves to do, like singing, dancing, playing ball. So we shall see!!

Landen has just seemed to blossom overnight.  He is saying words now, not just babble to us with what he's trying to say.  So far he has said "Ball" "Hi" "Dada" "sissy" (kind-of) He also responds when we ask him to find things like his truck, and he is so so curious about things now.  He will bend down to look at a bug, or a rock and hand it to me so I can be as amazed at it as he is!  We recently went to Florida and we took him to the beach.  he was not too excited about the sand on his bare feet, but with is little sandels on, he was off and running!!  He is such a little ham, he is going to be a funny kid.

Viv has also developed quite the personality.  She says things I can't even imagine where she got it.  I'm such a proud mama!!

Like I said, my little Ham!!! 

Look at my beautiful baby girl.  5 years old already!
