Dearest Joshua David and Grace Elizabeth~
Joshua, you managed to noodle into our room around 2:30am this morning. :-P Hummm, this is becoming a habit and I wonder why.
Once everyone was up for the day, you two helped me sweep the kitchen and downstairs after breakfast. We also vacuumed. Then, we headed upstairs. While you two played, I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and 2.5 miles! Woo hoo! Daddy and I are trying to think of ways to get healthier for you two (and baby biscuit). I'm starting slow with the elliptical machine, and I'd like to thank you two for playing nicely during that time so that I could get a work out in. I know 25 minutes doesn't sound like much, but it's a step in the right direction. :-)
Once you two had your snack time downstairs, we headed to Rex. Joshua had a 10:30am appointment with the GI team for a follow up visit. Joshua, you're now 27.3 lbs (10th percentile) and 35 inches tall! Woo hoo! They also took your blood pressure and head circumference. You saw Maureen Kelly and she was very nice! She was very pleased with your weight gain and I am too! With your weight and height, you're actually 25th percentile on the BMI scale! Wow! She's going to keep your medications the same for now since we just started you on the Flovent. We want to see if that makes a difference for you. Then, we'll call the nurse practitioner in 2 weeks if we see any changes. She may make an adjustment with your medications then. Overall it was a really good visit .... she really took a good look at you and didn't want to put you on a lot of medications. I appreciated that.
Once we left, we picked up lunch and headed to Gigi's work! We had lunch with her and her coworkers. Everyone thought you two were adorable and they were also excited about baby biscuit. :-) We got home around 2pm. Joshua, you fell asleep in the car but woke right up once we got home.
While downstairs playing, I made my lunches for this week and cooked hotdogs for you all for this week. We were upstairs and relaxing by 3pm. We had one hour of free play and then went back downstairs to prepare for speech therapy with Quinn. It started to thunder and storm while we were playing upstairs though.
You did great with Quinn today. She had a student shadowing her so you got to meet Emma. You did a lot of sounds and words with her. We learned some new signs too. You initiated some words with no prompting or signs! You saw an apple and said 'apple' with no signs and you saw a bird in a book and said 'bird' when she asked 'what is this?'! Way to go little man! I'm so proud of you!

Daddy got home early around 5:15pm. We had leftovers for dinner. And, since you two ate well, you got to split a big cookie! Oh, after dinner you two played your scream game back and forth. Thankfully that didn't last long. And, Joshua, you're trying to do somersaults now. :-)
We all played this evening. No one took naps today, so Grace ended up falling asleep before 8pm! Whoa! Joshua, you got a bath before bed. Daddy signed 'water' in the tub and Joshua signed it and said 'water' to him! Yippie!

Sleep tight little ones!
I love you both so much!
