Visitors!
This past weekend we got to visit with Daryl's sister and her family. They came to visit us. It was good to see them and their 5 kids. It was an adventure trying to get all 7 of our kids checked in and to their correct Sunday School class.

Jacob
He went in yesterday for his 9 month checkup. The doctor thought things were looking good with him. He is still little, weighing 17 pounds and 2 ounces, but she thought that was fine. Nathan at this age weighed 20 pounds, 11 ounces. He was 27.25 inches long. That is just a little shorter than Nathan. Also, measuring a squirmy baby is not an exact science! :) He didn't have to have any shots this appointment and he will return at one year old.

Nathan
Now for Nathan... he has been SUPER fussy and whiney these past few weeks. He is a little better here at the house, but whenever anyone comes over or we go out to someone's house, he turns into crazy child. I don't know what is up with him, but Daryl and I are praying it passes quickly! We think he may have a touch of what Jacob had last week. He got sick one morning last weekend and has been kind of clingy and tired recently and also his appetite has been coming and going. Even the teachers at his class at the YMCA have commented the last two days that he is not himself.

While we were at Jacob's appointment, the doctor asked how Nathan was doing and we got on the subject of his slow talking. She suggested I call and get him a speech evaluation to see if he would benefit from some speech therapy. I called a program in KY called Project First Step. I guess they come to the house and will test him to see. Hopefully some of the behavior issues are the result of him not being able to communicate his needs and desires. We'll see. I'll keep you updated about this.
