Damn it, another month gone by already!

I keep swearing to be better about blogging, and then fall down on the job. So much for the New Years resolution, right?

We've been busy. Mostly with the sickies - the boys and I are headed to the doctor this afternoon to have them checked out thanks to nasty coughs (both their daycare provider and I heard Eamon coughing and had flashbacks to December's bout with pneumonia!). My shift changes at work at the end of the month - I'm back to working nights again, which sucks for the family life but at least allows me time in the mornings to do things like doctor's appointments and such.

Eamon had his speech evaluation a couple of weeks ago, and the results came back. He's anywhere from a year to a year and a half delayed in his speech, but the therapist felt comfortable saying that he would catch up quickly. He's supposed to have two therapy appointments each week going forward, and they'll work with him on his enunciation and with learning to make specific sounds he struggles with. The week after next he will go in for a developmental evaluation, as there are some behaviors that are concerning to his pediatrician and myself and Garry, so I'll update on that afterwards.

Quinn's a talking machine now - more, milk, mama, dada, cup, bath, hot, no, outside... yeah, he's a talkative little guy. It's been weird realizing how much he talks in comparison to Eamon at the same age, and sometimes it's hard not to feel a little guilty that I didn't push harder when Eamon was this age to have a speech evaluation done. But I know that ultimately I did get him evaluated, and that's the important thing. It's just fun to watch Quinn picking up on words so quickly and starting to use them more and more.

Out of time for now, will update this weekend with zoo pictures from last week hopefully!
