the week in photos

How is it already the weekend? That's what happens when the weather gets nice and we're constantly outside. Here is a random rundown of our week with a few photos to go along!

Monday - Dylan's official birthday day started off with some homemade banana pancakes slathered in whipped cream and cherries.

This was followed by spending a great day with Grandma Lynn and a yummy lunch. I'm not exactly sure what Logan is looking at on the ceiling?


Tuesday and Wednesday - school, lots of playing outside and Logan's first speech therapy session. He seems to be adding a couple of new words each week. Two new words this week - cheese and juice. And signing for 'help'. He is also very adamantly saying 'yes' and 'no' when asked questions. Its amazing how just those two little words have really eased his frustration level with his communication.

Thursday - Grandpa Joe came to visit for one night and we took full advantage of the great weather with some backyard playtime and grilling!

Friday - a trip to Baltimore for Logan's Kennedy Krieger appointment. His therapist agrees he is making great progress not only with his language and communication but also with his temperament. He is using signs and attempting to say words or at least the first syllable of the word, and this is huge progress since even one month ago. You can tell he's proud of himself, and we're so happy to see him less frustrated.

Saturday morning - soccer. The teams were visited by the DC United mascot 'Talon' today during training. Logan was enthralled by him and followed him all over the fields.

Today - mulching and later today - neighborhood bbq with kids running wild, and hopefully a few cocktails.
