James is blossoming

James is just blossoming. He is repeating words, such as thank you, good boy, wow, uh oh, ca ca,water and rocko our dogs name, to name a few. Of course they don't come out exactly, but you can understand what it is he is trying to say and he is so articulate you can just see how he is trying to form the words, so cute.

He also understands so much, today he got all of his shoes out of his closet and they were all over in the living room the hall, so I went into his room and said OK let's clean up go get the shoes in the hall way and sure enough he comes with the shoes from the hall. Then I had one shoe in his room and the matching one was in the living room I said go get the one that matches this one and yes, he brought in the matching one and so on. Also he has gone pee pee in the toilet a few times just playing around with the idea he is not quite ready on that level yet but at least he is getting familiarized with the idea.

He can put shapes in to his shape sorter and we are learning colors, so far he does great with yellow and blue. We do colors with different toys and mm's, our NICU nurse Natalie gave us this idea and then he gets to eat the mm's! Then he is all hyped up on sugar. Maybe we will do this activity at Nats house, what do you think???

Anyways, just a few things, I have spent the last couple of days trying to get a new speech therapist. I stopped going to the place we were going because James kept getting sick, we did feeding therapy there as well, and even though James is not a big guy and does not eat a whole lot, I felt he was better off not going, thinking this is where he was getting sick. I still don't feel we need feeding therapy because he does eat a variety of foods it is just getting him to eat more than 4 bites!!! But if there is a speech therapist out there who does a combined speech/feeding that would be great. So far no one has any openings so we have been placed on a waiting list. So we shall see. Other than that everythings going pretty good. James is still 20lbs. and holding, but at least he is not loosing. Poor guy is going to be rear facing in his car seat until kindergarten!

I also have decided to look for a part time job in the evenings, my husband gets home at 3PM so I figured I could do something from 4PM to around 10Pm or so. Just to get me out and earn some mad money, I have been home for 2 years now and love it I do, I get a little bored and feel that James and I could use a break. But so far nothing. I thought the hours would be easy to find and there are jobs out there, but no one is ringing my phone. I work in the medical field so I have applied to hospitals and other facilities open all night or late. So wish me luck I have time no rush so hopefully I can find something to my liking.
